Dems Are Gonna Shoot Themselves In The Foot Again!

Pete Buttigieg feels like a winner.

The Iowa Caucus is in limbo. The Iowa Democratic Party has confirmed that there's a system-wide disaster. No one is a declared winner with the Iowa Caucus except Donald J. Trump.

The Republicans said that Joe Walsh and Bill Weld are irrelevant despite them actively running against him.

The Iowa Democratic Party said Tuesday that its new app, meant to speed up the reporting of caucus results, had a “coding issue” that instead led to a significant delay in counting and reporting results.

The error, which caused accurately collected data to be only partially reported, pushed the party to resort to manual backups.

"As part of our investigation, we determined with certainty that the underlying data collected via the app was sound," Iowa Democratic Party chairman Troy Price said in a statement. "While the app was recording data accurately, it was reporting out only partial data. We have determined that this was due to a coding issue in the reporting system. This issue was identified and fixed."

Price also said that the party has been able to verify the vote counts through "required paper documentation," but did not promise that results would be reported on Tuesday.

The party said later on Tuesday that the majority of the results from the Iowa caucus would be released at 5 p.m. ET.

Price said there was no indication of any outside effort to affect the app or the reporting of results. In remarks to reporters on the Hill today, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr and Vice Chairman Mark Warner said there is no evidence of foreign interference or hacking that played a role in the Iowa debacle.

"We have every indication that our systems were secure and there was not a cybersecurity intrusion," Price said. "In preparation for the caucuses, our systems were tested by independent cybersecurity consultants.”

But the app appeared to have problems even before the "coding issue."

Bernie Sanders' supporters are saying the process is rigged. They are calling for Tom Perez to step down.

Early Monday, Democratic county chairmen in Iowa said that some of their precinct leaders had trouble downloading and installing the app, and others received error messages. Two of those chairs said they were going to use manual methods and call the results in on a hotline.

Caucus managers reported extended wait times on the hotline, leading to frustration and confusion.

"I waited on hold for 20 minutes and gave up," said Jennifer Herrington, a caucus chair in Page County, Iowa. "They were asking for first alignment results and final results, plus delegates. In 2016, it was an automated call reporting system that just asked for delegates. Seems they tried to fix what wasn't broken."

Shawn Sebastian, the caucus secretary for a precinct in Story County, said he was on hold for 90 minutes waiting to report his results.

Some precinct captains and caucus organizers also expressed doubt about the app in the days leading up to the caucuses. An email chain provided to NBC News showed that precinct captains and caucus organizers in the Iowa City area knew of problems with the reporting app as early as Monday morning. The email was shared on the condition that identities would be redacted.

The Democratic Party had gotten fed up with the status quo. I am tired of the status quo as well.

I am tired of politics as usual. I am tired of the bandwagon trolls who follow candidates with little or no accomplishments. I am tired of the name calling and gutter sniping at one another.

The DNC is having 2016 repeat itself. Tom Perez was hoping to quash controversy. Nope.

I am certain that Donald J. Trump will win reelection. The candidates are weak.

No Kamala Harris or Beto O'Rourke.

Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren don't light a fire. Biden let Trump and Republicans roll over him. Amy Klobuchar supports the Israeli government and their brutal treatment of Palestine.

Pete Buttigieg is struggling to find support among Black voters, moderate and conservative Democrats.

Michael Bloomberg is swarming the states crucial to winning the election brushing off the Iowa Caucuses. Sanders and Warren are calling him an oligarchic. They believe he's buying his way to the White House. Hey, Trump did it (sort of).

Bloomberg is doing what presidential candidates are doing, going around the status quo and it seems to be working. That's why Sanders and Warren are complaining. And if they continue to do so, they'll lose.

Sanders is the Ron Paul of the Democratic Party. A lot of promises and inspiration but nothing more than bluster. I love Bernie Sanders but I hate his supporters and the way he operates a campaign.
