I hear the Trump rally there was a pretty big, joyous affair.

Not holding my breath for the DNC results.  I think all candidates will be declared winners and all will be given participation trophies.

They started releasing them about 30 minutes ago on the WSJ, there were about 30 precincts reporting in their numbers. Now it is back to zero again so who knows what is going on.

And the Dems want full socialism with them in charge.

Maybe Joe’s coal miners wrote the script for the app.

Watching MSNBC right now and still nothing. I really hope Nevada has their caucus figured out. I don't like the caucus system anyway. I think it disenfranchises people who can't find a huge chunk of time on one specific night. So if you have to work or can't find childcare or you can't get a ride if you need one, you can't take part.

caucus system is horrible and dnc is corrupt. There's news going around that Pete's team paid 50k to the app called "shadow" that is not working properly. Sounds like conflict of interest, especially after pete declared himself victorious on yesterday's stage with no results 

 

I guess the only thing we know for sure is Biden performed really badly.

Yeah, Biden really didn't do well. Buttigieg looks stronger than I expected. Even though this is messy and disappointing, I'm pleased that the IDC is taking their time to get the numbers right. I'd rather that happen than rushing to get a result out.

I heard they found some votes from 2004 for Howard Dean which drove him to victory this year in Iowa.

That's the thing MSNBC was saying this morning is that the numbers from the different campaigns can't be trusted because they are all saying that they had huge numbers last night....

I'm guessing its:

Sanders

Buttigieg

Warren

Biden

 

That's what the released data (that they did revoke, but as it was coming out yesterday through the des moines register) was saying, along with whatever information each campaign released.
