Andrew Yang says what Democrats are too afraid to admit about Iowa
Washington Examiner ^ | 2-6-20 | Madeline Fry

...“Oh my gosh,” Yang responded. “One reason I am pumped to be here in New Hampshire is you all are gonna vote Feb. 11, and you know when we’re gonna find out the results? Feb. 11!”

...After laughter and applause from the audience, Yang explained what the Iowa debacle will mean for voters...

"[I]t’s going to be harder to convince Americans that we can entrust massive systems with government if we can’t count votes on the same night in a way that’s clear, transparent, and reliable.”

And “Oh My Gosh”. I’m still going to get 0.005 percent of the vote!

Back in December I saw two college age kids on a busy street corner holding Yang campaign signs.

I wanted to stop and talk to them. Respectfully. To ask them WHY?

Do they know who he is? I admit - I don’t. To me - he is just another clown in the clown car who because he is so inconsequential - he is still in the race.

I think he’s angling for Sec of Treasury or Commerce if any of the frontrunners gets elected. No one thinks he’s going to be nominated, to say nothing of win, but he’s also been very circumspect as far as criticizing the other candidates. Not a dumb man, however many dysfunctional ideas he may supposedly hold.

The DNC did not want Iowa to set the starting point of the candidates.

Said as much last year and have been trying to write laws to change who goes first. They wanted a strong blue state... like New Hampshire to go first to set the tone of the campaigns.

They just threw out the results from Iowa and said they’ll take the vote again in a few weeks.

All as planned.

Leave it to the one Asian dude among the Democratic candidates to get right to the point on this.

If this was Japan or Singapore, the vote would have been tallied within about a minute and the delegate count would have been distributed to the media 8 seconds later.

Large systems also are breeding grounds for sociopaths. Sociopaths rise to the top—because they are more comfortable with the lying, butt-kissing and back stabbing needed to reach the pinnacle of large organizations.

If this was Singapore, the creators of the app would already be doing hard time-—if they weren’t executed by now.

Straight from Democrats' playbook:

1. Corrupt the system.

2. Cheat, in order to get your way.

3. If you don't get your way, blame it on the system.

They used in against Bernie in 2016. Succeeded in Step 2.

Tried it against Trump. Almost succeeded.

The Dems will try it again in 2020. This time they will pull out all the stops.

When Trump wins, they will blame the outcome on voting irregularities, foreign interference, racist voters, anything but themselves and their candidate.

Don't forget: The Dems caused the voting problems in the first place.

He's half right. That second idea was already impossible.

Hey, Andy, how’s that campaign coming along? I hear you just fired dozens (plural) of staffers. You still stumping the environment while drinking out of plastic water bottles?

He omitted some key point:
1. They had YEARS to prepare for the BIg Show.
2. It is a small state. It should have been easy.

I recall a time when New Hampshire was the beginning. Then Iowa came up with their early caucus idea and thus beat NH to the punch. I’m not sure about Super Tuesday but I think that didn’t always exist either.
