(40% of the precincts)
- Sanders 29.7%
- Buttigieg 24.6%
- Warren 21.2%
- Biden 12.4%
- Klobuchar 11%
Now it looks as though it's possible that the DNC didn't "want" these numbers being released last night. If Bernie did this well, and Biden did this poorly, it would have made for a pretty more news cycle last night and today. As it stands, whatever is reported today will be overshadowed by the State of the Union Address followed by National Acquittal Day on Wednesday.
So Bernie wins, but still loses... Biden loses, but probably wins.
Another Update: Biden camp sends letter to Iowa asking results to be withheld!
No Lie... the Biden camp is demanding that the results not be released due to possible quality control issues. How about competency control issues? Not sure if the end result of all of this will be to actually take the wind out of the sails of a possible Sanders win, or if it just further motivates the Bernie crowd to work even harder (given the fact that the DNC seems to screw them every which way but loose every chance they get).
Either way, this is not the move that you would expect from a frontrunner. There is only one way to take this move, and that's to conclude that he is embarrassed by the results and wants the DNC to sweep it under the rug for him!

Still no results...
So rather than risk the one in 25 million chance that the Russians really want to hack the Iowa caucus, they didn't beta test, stress test, or do any testing of any sort of the new software. They apparently just "assumed" it would work.
Now it's not just that nobody tested it. Nobody was allowed to even download it prior to caucus night. So the fact that the download wouldn't install properly comes as literally no shock to anyone in the software business. If it can't download, it cannot work.
Meanwhile (because of hacking paranoia) they only had one "back up phone line" to call in results, but apparently that line was not working either. So they only felt safe with people taking pictures of the results, and then having someone physically deliver those results to the Headquarters...
Who promptly determined that apparently everyone was turning in "inconsistent" results. Because they never reported the first vote in the past (only the final alignment) nobody ever would have known if the final alignment was consistent with the first vote. My guess is that some people who were backing nonviable candidates likely went home, rather than do what they were supposed to do (either join another candidate or remain to vote uncommitted).
All we know is that there are no numbers this morning... and nobody knows when they will be reported.

Roger is a broke and broken dolt.
And the goat fucker keeps digging like the worthless piece of shits most trumpists are!!!!!!!
We have results!!! Donald Trump won the Iowa caucus!!
By all means, let's put these people in charge of our national health care.
Hillary can't believe the dem party still can't rig an election right.
The Biggest Democratic Winning.
President Trump.
Hillary , omg, she screwed Bernie like it was her job.
Iowa democrats did one impressive thing today. They managed to outdo Adam Schiff in the horse's ass contest. That's not an easy feat.
All of the Dwarfs are Claiming Victory.
Socialist Democrats failed to do their jobs on the Democrat vote.
Things went great on the Republican side.
Trump 97% of the vote.
100 % reported.

The most hilarious irony of all the ironies coming out of the #IowaCaucus dumpster fire is that Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager was involved in the app’s development.

Next we will find out the raw data was actually deleted, files scrubbed and disks have been hammered.
Transparency Democrat style.
And someone will come out of teleconference and implicate Trump based on what he inferred from something ha assumed someone meant.
Impeachable !!!
CNN is having a Real meltdown.
The party that wants to control your life, can't manage an app

I just wanna say I’m truly shocked the folks who gave us Russian Collusion hoaxes, Kavanaugh rape hoaxes, Net Neutrality death hoaxes, Tax Cut death hoaxes, Cancel Culture, Iran is the Lost City of Gold, and border enforcement is terrorism also ruined an election
The most effective weapon against democrats is sunlight.

After the debacle in Iowa, WHERE NOT A SINGLE VOTE HAS BEEN REPORTED, it’s abundantly clear that Democrats are the single greatest threat to election security and integrity in this country. Not Trump, not Russia, not Ukraine. Democrats.
no wonder California voting is so fucked up
Before this Iowa disaster, a looming acquittal and the State of the Union and with all the heavy democrat weighed polls recently Gallup has come out with a stunner:
As Trump's job approval rating has improved, so has the image of the Republican Party. Now, 51% of Americans view the Republican Party favorably, up from 43% in September. It is the first time GOP favorability has exceeded 50% since 2005.
Meanwhile, 45% of Americans have a positive opinion of the Democratic Party, a slight dip from 48% in September.
Additionally, the poll finds 48% of Americans identifying as Republicans or leaning toward that party, compared with 44% Democratic identification or leaning. Recent Gallup polls had shown a fairly even partisan distribution, after the Democratic Party held advantages for much of 2019.

Democrats at work for you, did they think this was like an impeachment and go on vacation ???
We need someone in the democrat party to define "urgent"
Obviously it is not what most of us think it means.
Hourly blue collar wages rose nearly 5% in 2019, the largest gain of any labor sector. These are the Trump crossovers.

Alky, screws up, again.
Roger unaware what Qoutation marks mean.
He can't debate, his low IQ and gin soaked brain functions at a level of a emotional 13 year old girl.
Tell us Alky , when do you move to your dream home, in your dream car and have a huge bank Account?
The Facts on the Economy escape you, again.
"Hourly blue collar wages rose nearly 5% in 2019" MB
Surely, During the Lost Years wages grew at a faster rate, right?
On the Heals of the Lost Years President who ripped off Warren's "you didn't build that". Comes this gibberish from the true Speaker of the House.
"On Monday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.) spoke to author Ta-Nehisi Coates about billionaires and wealth inequality at a Martin Luther King, Jr. Day event at Riverside Church in Harlem, New York.
When Coates pressed Ocasio-Cortez on whether billionaire entrepreneurs deserve to keep their money, she responded, "Well you didn't make those widgets, did you?…You sat on a couch while thousands of people were paid modern-day slave wages—and in some cases, real modern-day slavery, depending on where you are in terms of food production."
"You made that money off of the backs of undocumented people, you made that money off of the backs of black and brown people being paid under a living wage, you made that money off of the backs of single mothers," Ocasio-Cortez continued. "No one ever makes a billion dollars. You take a billion dollars."
Roger...
Are you saying that wages are not up?
Or what exactly is your pathetic argument?
Tweety's not happy
The guy in the White House is chuckling all night here, showing the Democrats can't even get a three car funeral organized or whatever you want to call it. I would say to the people of Iowa, ‘Will the last person leaving Des Moines, please turn out the lights?’ This has not been a success.
All night long we've used the word viability and I think we have to ask ourselves about the viability of the Iowa caucuses as an institution to start off this decision this country has to make to find someone to challenge Trump. But also the viability of the Democratic Party. I really think it's got a problem. Going forward — I saw the Bernie surge there. That's about a third of the party, but it's not the party. And if the party gets into a civil war situation sometime this spring going into the summer, we've got a real disaster because if Trump isn't challenged, that's an historic loss for the country, if he's not facing a serious challenger, and I wonder about that happening.
“These are probably the most prepared we’ve ever been as a party for these caucuses. We’ve run through a few different scenarios, but I can tell you, we’re ready.”

At the center of the confusion is an app reportedly built by a for-profit company called “Shadow Inc.” According to reporting by The New York Times, the app used by the Iowa Democratic Party was “quickly put together in just the past two months” and not subjected to the kind of scrutiny one might traditionally reserve for software used in such an important statewide contest. The app is said to be a replacement for a system wherein caucus participants called in their election. The party reportedly paid Shadow around $63,000 in two installments to build one of its “affordable and easy-to-use tools.”
Shadow, Inc lol. I guess SPECTRE is busy with a Bond film
The Three Socialist Stooges of CHT have abandoned any debate.

"0% REPORTING

Still waiting.
There are some days when it's just too fun.
Yep.
The Three Socialist Stooges of CHT have abandoned any debate.
Reverend Hypocrite has decided to take his flat ball that doesn't bounce and go home! Roger just drops by to remind us that he is still a "halfwit" (or what is halfbaked - I forget)... and Denny, well Denny is Denny.
But that's what happens when your side starts losing all the time! I guess even politicalwire doesn't have much for good news.
Someone, not me, made the great point that Iowa is another reason why we don't federalize our presidential election.
I heard they are using the Lost Years Common Core Math.
Did they Release the "50%" results on time.
"When have past Iowa caucus results come out?
Partial caucus results to be released at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Democratic officials say
