No one predicted the final outcome would be a total shock. And Donald Trump just shocked everyone by scoring two major wins in one day. The Iowa caucuses have been in the planning stages since the last ones were held in 2016. Democrats were expecting a tough race as it really tightened up between socialist icon Bernie Sanders and “moderate” socialist Pete Buttigieg, while “Creepy” Uncle Joe Biden and Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren faded. Meanwhile, Donald Trump was expected to win the Republican caucuses with at least 80%-85%. Instead what happened was a Trump sweep. First, Trump won with an astounding 92.5% of the vote leaving “Never-Trumpers” Bill Weld and Joe Walsh in the dust. In fact in some precincts write-in votes for people like Vice President Mike Pence and Nikki Haley beat out the liberal Weld and Walsh campaigns. On the Democrat side, everyone was ready for a long night of counting to see if Bernie Sanders could squeak out a victory over the insurgent campaign of Pete Buttigieg and the establishment campaign of Joe Biden. Among Trump supporters the feeling was a win by either Sanders or Warren was a big win for Trump as it would further show the radicalization of the new Socialist Democrat Party. The worst case scenario for Trump would have been either a Joe Biden or Pete Buttigieg victory, which could have meant the start of a united Democrat party going forward, behind the new standard bearer, who seemed “acceptable” and not so radical to many voters. Instead what we got was a massive Trump victory, since as of 5 pm the day AFTER the caucuses, Democrats still had not released any information on the results. The official Democrat reason for this delay is “coding issues” with the app developed for the caucuses. But those attending the caucuses say it was far worse than an app. In one precinct Pete Buttigieg received 3 delegates after a questionable coin toss. The problem was the caucus leader didn’t know how to flip a coin! So, he just kind of made it up and magically his candidate (Buttigieg) won. As POLITICO put it in their article about the caucuses: “’It’s a total meltdown’: Confusion grips Iowa with no official results in sight.” Most observers believe it will end up with Sanders winning by just a bit, followed by Buttigieg, Warren, Biden, and Klobuchar. So what does that mean for Donald Trump and the Republicans? It’s a huge Trump victory in the Democrat Iowa caucuses. No matter who is announced as the eventual victor, Democrats showed they are incapable of even running a simple caucus, let alone creating an app that works. So, the Democrats really can’t complain any more about rigged elections or shoddy election security without everyone pointing at the Iowa fiasco. And the American people watched as the party that wants us to trust them to run health care, the economy, and the executive branch of government couldn’t even run their own caucus. And, because of this fiasco the entire Democrat field has been left weakened and comes out of Iowa with no momentum heading into New Hampshire. Meanwhile, the “Trump Train” keeps chugging along, fueled by a booming economy and growing poll numbers. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
