Anyone trying to track the Iowa caucuses? What a disaster. This may be the death knell for Iowa's primaries going forward.

There will be far less of an Iowa bounce the later these come.

They missed their news cycle.

Today’s story is ‘Iowa DNC sucks ass’
Tonight and tomorrow’s story is SOTU
Tomorrow night and Thursday it’s the senate vote.

Unintended positive side-effect ... perhaps the Democratic party will tell Iowa to take its caucus and stick it where the sun don't shine.

And the I-1 campaign is tweeting disinformation about the Iowa caucuses and twitter says such posts do not violate their rules.

Do you want to live in a world where people have to submit proof before declaring something rigged on twitter?

Especially since the concept is so malleable.

Is it so unbelievable that it is rigged? See 2016. I don't think the DNC is any more enamored of Bernie than they were then.

Well, by the I-1 standard, the Iowa Democratic Caucus is rigged because he didn't win.

He clearly said that the only way he could lose the general in 2016 was if the election was rigged. Which it was. In his favor. And he's spent the last three years covering up the evidence.

I do want to live in a world where people are held accountable for publicly broadcasting misinformation, like the bit about there being more registered voters than eligible citizens. The Republicans have become masters of this crap: constantly keep the other side wasting their time refuting the bvllsh!t you are spewing so they never have time to present their own messages. Obama was born in Kenya and all that. Swiftboat and all that. Kiddy sex ring in the basement of a pizza place (that doesn't even have a basement) and all that.

The new procedures they were using were at Bernie's request.

Honestly, I don't understand this need to throw these accusations into the mix. Good old incompetence usually explains most problems accurately.

I think you have it nailed this time. But let's be honest - if this was a Republican caucus the accusations of rigging would be the same. At some point you just need to tune out the shriekers.

God, I wish he'd quit tweeting.
