The Democrat Caucus is an unmitigated disaster. Nothing works, just like they ran the Country. Remember the 5 Billion Dollar Obamacare Website, that should have cost 2% of that. The only person that can claim a very big victory in Iowa last night is “Trump”.

Mandy McClure, the Iowa Democratic Party communications director, shared a statement in light of the mishap. In this statement, McClure assured Americans that the present errors are due to complications with reporting, not a data breach.
In McClure’s own words:
“This is simply a reporting issue. The app did not go down and this is not a hack or an intrusion. The underlying data and paper trail is sound and will simply take time to further report the results.”
How Are 2020 Democrats Taking This?
All things considered, 2020 Democrats are handling last night’s disaster pretty well; some might even say they’re handling it a little too well.
Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is under fire for remarks he made last night, despite the absence of caucus results. When speaking before supporters, Buttigieg professed that he will go on to New Hampshire “victorious.” This subsequently prompted questions about how the 2020 Democrat can declare himself the victor of a caucus with missing results.
