The sign Democrats tacked onto the podium falls off.

All political parties and candidates have bad days. But the new progressive Democratic Party had four of its worst days in recent memory in a single week in February.
On Feb. 3, the Iowa Caucuses imploded for the first time in their history. The new app-driven counting melted down, discrediting the very idea of caucusing in general.
The winner -- Pete Buttigieg by two delegates over Bernie Sanders -- was not known for days. The mess was ironic in a number of ways.
The Democrats are the party of the Silicon Valley. They pride themselves on being on the cutting edge of youthful computer culture. But the inability to count simple votes was a bitter reminder that they understand the cyber world no better than their Republican opponents.
Voters might remember the 2013 meltdown of the Obamacare website, the abject failure of Hillary Clinton's supposedly sophisticated 2016 campaign analytics, and the incompetence of supposedly tech-driven 2016 polling.
Four years ago, the Democratic Party found ways to thwart socialist Bernie Sanders' primary bid. Democratic National Committee interim chair Donna Brazile leaked CNN debate questions to Hillary Clinton, and the party used superdelegates to nullify Sanders' grassroots surge.
This time around, the release of a pre-caucus Des Moines Register poll was canceled for the first time ever. Rumors swirled that the Democratic establishment was embarrassed over the likely strong showing of Sanders. Such conspiracy theories were only further fueled when it was not known for days who actually won the caucuses.

The sign Democrats tacked onto the podium falls off.
Dems understanding of the cyber world is a huge post-Iowa joke. Taxpayers remember only too well:
<><> the 2013 meltdown of the billion dollar Obamacare website,
<><> the abject failure of Hillary Clinton's supposedly sophisticated 2016 campaign analytics,
<><> the incompetence of supposedly tech-driven 2016 polling.
Incompetence as an excuse for downright theft and manipulation. Coming to an election near you.

Can we please stop with the revisionist history? The Clinton Campaign put its TRUST in analytics and ignored rank-and-file panicked reports from Michigan and other places of impending doom - even the best analytics will not help when the MANAGERS of the anytics don't not fine-tune the models. Also, the margin of winning MI, WI, and PA was 78k in the aggregate - no amount of statistical analysis can help in that case.
Yes, Trump beat Hillary fair and square (the the Electoral College margin was much stronger) but that popular vote margin was way too close for comfort if you ask me. Dem fraud will be more massive in 2020 than ever before, because THAT is basically the ONLY way the Trump train will be derailed.
Continuing with this fantasy that 2016 was due to an "abject failure" on the Dem side may lull our side into complacency...Just like the Patriots should have won the Super Bowl when they had an undefeated regular season record, the 49ers should have won this year's SB since they were ahead by 10 points late in the game, and the US hockey team should have lost in 1980.
You play to win the game. While the Dems sure looked like the Keystone Cops that week, and while Trump is surging with a coalition more rainbow-looking than any Republican ever before, nothing should be taken for granted.
Trump doubled his turnout in the NH primary. The size of his rallies anywhere he wants to plant his flag tells me that wasn’t a “local” phenomenon. I’m thinking 50 states is a real possibility. The Rats will go insane when Trump gets California and NY’s EVs because he won the popular vote.
Ha ha. A snapshot of the Democratic Party itself.
Yeah....sign falling off the podium capped off the depths of Democrap incompetency.
“a pastoral Silicone Valley”
That’s more likely to be located in Beverly Hills . . .
I expect Trump will keep all his 2016 states and probably pick up NH (4 EV, which he lost by 0.37% of that state's vote) and maybe even MN (10 EV, which he lost by 1.52%). There is a chance he will pick up NV (6 EV; lost by 2.42%), and perhaps ME (2 EV; lost by 2.96%). He lost CO' 9 EV by 4.94% and everything else by 5%+.
Trump will likely win more than the 302 Electoral Votes he got in 2016, and it'll likely be 316 but possibly as many as 330. But all of them? No...Not even Reagan did that.
