The Iowa Caucus Debacle

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 6, 2020

         HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE WHAT HAPPENED IN THE IOWA CAUCUSES MONDAY NIGHT? UNFORTUNATELY, WE BOTH HAVE. WHAT IS IT ABOUT ELECTIONS THAT THEY CAN’T SEEM TO GET IT RIGHT?

         TWENTY-FOUR HOURS LATER, DEMOCRATS STILL DID NOT HAVE ANY NUMBERS FOR WHO WON AND WHO DIDN’T. THERE WAS A NEW APP THEY USED WHICH, NOT INCIDENTALLY, WAS DESIGNED BY A FIRM AFFILIATED WITH HILLARY CLINTON’S 2016 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. DOES THAT RAISE SUSPICIONS? WAS SHE AND SOME LEADING PARTY FUNCTIONARIES TRYING TO DERAIL BERNIE SANDERS AS THEY DID IN 2016? THE FIX APPEARS TO ME TO HAVE BEEN IN. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO COUNTING HEADS AND REPORTING THE RESULTS BY PHONE?

         THE BIG MEDIA OF COURSE HAVE LITTLE INTEREST IN FINDING OUT WHAT HAPPENED. THEY ARE ABOUT BOOSTING ANY DEMOCRAT THEY THINK CAN BEAT PRESIDENT TRUMP. IF THEY CAN’T DO THAT THEY HOPE TO AT LEAST KEEP THE HOUSE IN DEMOCRAT HANDS SO THEY CAN KEEP HARASSING THE PRESIDENT.

         IT’S ALL A GAME, ISN’T IT? AND IT’S A BAD GAME AT THAT IN WHICH THE PUBLIC IS THE LOSER. I’M CAL THOMAS.
