Ordering a recanvass is dumb because it'll do nothing but sow more distrust in the process, but what the fuck, why do so many people in this thread continue to miss that *the DNC is not responsible for managing the Iowa caucus*! Caucuses and primaries are the responsibilities of state parties!
Perez is a moron. Just let the Iowa results come out, flawed or not, forget about them forever, and penalize Iowa. Doing this recanvass crap just as Bernie might pull ahead is possibly the dumbest move so far.
It's all projection. He's out of touch with reality.Trump says wives don't care when their husbands are on their death bed because he comes from a world filled with gold diggers and trophy wives.
Everyone is fucking annoyed at the incompetence of the DNC.Everyone just condescending people who are annoyed at the complete incompetence of the DNC... you hate to see it. This is how you win an election, I'm sure.
Can anyone even explain what the negative impact on Bernie of all this so-called rigging by the DNC would be?
I shouldve added an /s i guess.Um, okay? The app really seems like a "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" situation.
F*ing idiots, the lot of them. Swiftboating themselves so Trump doesn't have to.
Laws and rules only apply to democrats so no. We cant do anything based on republican precedent.
It really is hard to tell in political threads these days.

Just what everyone wants, 15 minutes of someone making you relive a seriously traumatizing experience on live tv.
I am so overly annoyed that he is playing up Scalise getting fucking shot yet doesn't do fucking shit about the rest of Americans.
The DNC made that app malfunction just to kill Bernie's momentum and now they're going in after the results have already come out, given him a polling boost and everyone's moved on to NH just to really put the final nail in his campaign's coffin.

No, it's because people like you don't want to fucking win. People like you want to whine on the Internet about this bullshit. I don't give a fuck about your stupid ass principles or whatever, any time ANY FUCKING THING happens that's slightly negative to God Emperor Sanders you people go into overdrive to protect him. Guess what? The delegate counts are going to be virtually identical to what they are now. So just deal with it instead of fucking whining about it, Jesus Christ man. Like, the glee that you're getting from shitting on the party THAT'S TRYING TO BEAT A GODDAMN NAZI really betrays your fucking priorities, and that's the last I'll say about any of this shit. Y'all ruin my whole fucking day with your garbage.Everyone just condescending people who are annoyed at the complete incompetence of the DNC... you hate to see it. This is how you win an election, I'm sure.
I think everyone is pretty fucking annoyed over the incompetence that went into Monday night, but it has far more to do with the Iowa Democratic Party (the people who are actually in charge of organizing, managing, and reporting results from the caucuses every four years) than the DNC or Tom Perez.Everyone just condescending people who are annoyed at the complete incompetence of the DNC... you hate to see it. This is how you win an election, I'm sure.

AG Barr has said all investigations of 2020 presidential candidates need his sign off. Yesterday he issued guidance that Senate, House & campaign finance inquiries would require DoJ leadership approval too. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/05/us/politics/barr-2020-investigations.html …

Monmouth had Biden leading in Iowa so maybe they're not as good this primary cycle. But we'll have to see!Biden's gotta massively course correct here. Pulling into a close second in New Hampshire would help a lot but I don't know if he can, to say nothing of winning Nevada outright which may be necessary.
I've always felt Biden's black support is his firewall, but lately my thoughts about his inevitability as the nominee have turned it into something of a crutch. For one thing, his margins have never been as impressive as Obama's or Clinton's. And writing off Iowa in advance because "oh well we'd never win there anyway" was foolish. Margins matter. They mattered in 2016 when Sanders let himself get blown out in South Carolina by fifty points and then gave up on the rest of the South, which made any road to victory impossible. They also mattered when Clinton lost rural counties by 50 when Obama lost them by 20. It adds up. You still have to give a shit.

Bernie earned a decent chunk of delegates and he will continue to do better than Butti. Butti has no path
