Well the Iowa Democratic Caucus was a cluster...3 hrs and still no results; a contentious conf. call with campaigns, letters from lawyers already being drafted. Not the best way to start on the road to defeat Trump. #IowaCaucuses
On the Iowa Democratic Party’s results issues, Chris says: “Get it right. This is our specialty, democracy … I got a problem with Iowa on this. If you want it first, do it right.” https://t.co/OjnsRcWenr
If you think the #IACaucus delays are bad, wait until you hear about what happens in black or brown precincts across the country. We're used to waiting.
the campaign staffers are in the boiler room shoveling coal into a giant furnace like it's the titantic, it's the only way to keep the app running, very few know this
After hours of no data, insufficient data and silence from campaigns, the logjam broke loose in the last 45 mins after a call between campaigns and the state party. Now, candidates rush out to declare victory and race out. This is not the ending Iowa Democrats wanted or expected.
1. AG Barr used to work at Kirkland Ellis
2. Kirkland Ellis represents Goldman Sachs in one of the biggest scams ever
3. AG Barr got a waiver and "immersed himself" in the case
4. Now Goldman is poised to get off with a fine BILLIONS less than predicted

I love #Iowa, but the caucus is an anti-democratic disgrace - no secret ballot, no absentee voting, no actual vote totals, absurd 15% rule, and nutty multiple rounds. What an absurd way to pick a nominee.
#Iowa Democratic Party says they found inconsistencies in reporting 3 sets of results but have photos and paper trail to v as lidate that all results match. App didn’t go down and it wasn’t a hack or intrusion. Will take time to report the results. #IowaCaucuses#Decision2020
Iowa caucus incredibly undemocratic:
-No absentee voting or secret ballot
-1000s with disabilities can’t participate
-40,000 with past felony convictions barred from voting
-Rural counties get more delegates than urban ones
This is not good way to choose party nominee
The IDP results app for Iowa was not working and the backup phone line is likewise "a disaster," a source familiar with the process said, adding that the campaigns were all participating in a briefing about the situation tonight. https://t.co/TxoPMlt4J4
With the reports of the Iowa caucus results delayed, there's some question about whether a new smartphone app meant to speed up reporting has been more trouble than it's worth. #IowaCaucuses https://t.co/6Xigctcx2l
NEW: As others stood at attention for the national anthem, President Donald Trump was fidgeting, pointing, and pretending to conduct a band https://t.co/1HWmFow1jX
