Iowa caucus mess nothing compared to intra-Democratic Party chaos on the horizon
New York Pot ^ | 02/04/2020 | John Podhoretz

The Iowa caucuses reveal not only a Democratic Party deliriously incompetent at handling a vote tally — this from the folks who have been screaming about voting fraud and irregularities for years — but at war with itself in a way that could lead to political disorder that will make the counting disaster look like a garden party.

What little we can glean from entrance polls reveals the way in which the schematics of the intra-Democratic conflict in 2020 are very stark.

It’s Joe Biden with big numbers with people 65 and older — and nobody else. It’s Bernie Sanders with huge numbers among people 18-29 — and mediocre numbers with everybody else.

That likely translated into Sanders running away with college-educated voters and Biden running away with those caucus-goers who have only a high-school education.

Slicing the Iowa pie even more thinly, Biden likely lost a significant number of younger moderate voters to 37 year-old Pete Buttigieg — another suggestion that Biden’s candidacy is, in a state like Iowa, almost exclusively a Geritol candidacy.

And then, hovering in the background, is the Billionaire Mothership. If Biden melts down, Bernie isn’t exactly going to glide effortlessly to the nomination the way Donald Trump did as the populist insurgent darling.

He (and whoever else is still in the race) will then have to contend with the limitless resources of his worst nightmare — a free-spending billionaire whose money he has yet been unable to expropriate.

What we know is that Mike Bloomberg has been dropping his infinite dollars in the places where people are going to be voting a month from now — just as voters in the largest states begin to hit the ballot boxes having heard almost no ads and seen relatively few ­Facebook posts from anyone but the former mayor.

All of this is a recipe for chaos — even more so because the Democratic Party’s apportionment of delegates is by voting percentage within each state rather than the Republican party’s winner-take-all system.

Hello, brokered convention!

I think they are hiding participation rates, I believe the caucuses participation were down from the last 4 caucuses and the Dems don’t want to share that data

So App crashes/Data loss is the cover up.

After watching Martha McCallum's interview of 5 millennials Dems, I'd say our school systems are broken beyond repair.

They’re trying to say it was a good turnout, but what does that mean? 100 people instead of 80?

“Like trying to herd cats”.

Thread winner!

Anyone still considering himself/herself a Democrat is a mindless, hopeless Useful Idiot scumbag.

I think that is the root cause of the problem

They are saying it was a good turnout but the numbers show differently

So they are going to cook the numbers.....

LOL! Funny you chose that Super Bowl commercial about herding cats. My brother Tim has a movie company in NM which supplies horses, wagons and other things to western movies.(Dances With Wolves, among them) He helped make that commercial.

Tim is the cowboy with the ball of yarn.

That’s a very good example of the Dems.

Thanks, SkyDancer.
