"Results from the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses were delayed Monday night as the state’s Democratic Party said it ran “quality checks” on the data."

You can't make this Mitt up!
Bernie gets FORTY-THREE more votes than Buttgiggity, and ends up with the same number of delegates - two.
If Buttgiggity had gotten two less votes, he would have only gotten one delegate.
Couple that with the 101-66 video where Bernie gets 4 delegates and Buttgiggity gets 4 delegates, and Sanders is feeling the Burn.
The Elbonians are a completely untapped resource here.
Damn Russians again...
Boy, they’re cooking the books > IMO.
Nice knowing you Bernie. Don’t go near Fort Marcy Park guy.
What a jeffing clown.
Didn't the Des Moines Register poll also have "quality control" problems?
that’s the Dems cover story ... the real problem is the app that the 1,681 prescints were supposed to use to report results to headquarters didn’t work and the “backup reporting system”(telephones) didn’t work either because they didn’t have enough installed lines and operators at headquarters ... letter from Bidn campaign attorney to Iowa Dem headquarters explains all of that:

I think I found the source of the problem...
Pretty funny people who can’t count want to run health care for 330 million people
Ah. Thanks for that tidbit.
In other words, Sanders won so decisively the Democrats haven’t figured out how to throw it to Biden without even CNN calling them out on it.
I think Buttgigivites has more of an Old Testament ring to it.
It’s the Russians!!!
Oh yeah.
Think seriously about Redenbacher stock. Are they publicly traded?
In 2016, we were very, very afraid.
Now that we have gotten to know President Trump and seen him in action—and he truly is all action, I think we are all feeling much calmer. Except for the handful of fainting goats who just can’t let go of their couches.
Whether you want to believe it or not...from a pretty smart guy commenting on Sundance’s thread...:
===>
Clinton and Bloomberg are longtime friends. Steyer is a Podesta friend/Clinton ally. Clinton’s people are on the convention committee (including Podesta).
Bloomberg’s campaign, like Biden’s, is a proxy, just in a different way. He’s already pledged to spend the money, whomever the nominee will be, and I think it’s because he’s never planned to be the one. That Clinton getting in (or winning) seems so, utterly fantastical does not make it less true: the play here is Clinton.
In a planted Op-Ed in The Hill, she’s already been floated as VEEP to add “gravitas” to the ticket, and was quoted as being excited to jump on board with whomever gets the nomination (really? Clinton excited to run as #2? No one buys it … it’s seeding the concept.)
Chaos is also the best, if not the necessary state-of-play for Clinton to parachute in. First as VEEP — a stabilizing force. Then it’s just a re-shuffle to put her at the top of the ticket. VEEP probably then goes to Warren, thinking it placates the “progressive” wing (it won’t).
Bloomberg has no real pitch on the democrat side (neither did Biden) and he has the feel of a pop-up candidate. His “constituency” is pure donor class and astroturf. Hillary has a narrow band of dead-enders and a pitch: I beat Trump once in the popular vote, I can do it again, and I’m eager to settle the score.
What really matters is she still owns the party. That’s how she got her people on the convention committee, which only matters if there’s going to be a need to control it. She’ll take it in broad daylight, with Bernie people (and others) eyes wide open. Clintons and the DNC don’t care. That’s what narrative engineering is for.
I’ve been telling my family this for months. After tonight, I finally won a convert. And she’s PISSED. A long way to go yet, but this might turn out to be that moment that once you see, you can’t unsee.
“Oh yeah...Think seriously about Redenbacher stock. Are they publicly traded?”
One other thing about 2016. The media thought they’d throw a bit more into the blender, to really set things off in the Republican Party, by initially propping up that tabloid clown who just jumped in. 15 months later, they were in tears, trying to sooth themselves with Playdough and coloring books.
Let me get this straight. Democrats held a rigged election in Iowa.
And they all lost?
Mini mike is writing some quality checks as we speak. As soon as they clear he will be announced the winner.
Maybe for about five minutes, but then they’ll get tired and go smoke a j.
