Since you have already annointed Trump as POTUS until 2025, your comments are rather meaningless.

Well, it apparently is not meaningless to the Dems. Thay spent a ton of money and time in that meanless state.
Personally, I think they need to get rid of that system.

On that I would agree. Get rid of the caucus system.

Money was spent in Iowa because the state is first in line and, unfortunately, can destroy the hopes of some candidates but rarely hurt the chances of the leaders.

Super Tuesday in March will be the first decisive voting:

I've never understood cacaus (sp), straw poll, super delegates.
But whatever they like to do.

I feel we may be looking at the Iowa caucus debacle incorrectly. Instead of highlighting the multiple abject failures, we should appreciate the challenges they faced with the resources they had.



This may well have been the first time they attempted an honest caucus, without predetermined results utilizing a lot of people unaccustomed to having to do math and stuff. The skill gap alone is noteworthy. In previous years they were likely told what the results were beforehand and simply had to back-port the numbers to support it. Maybe they should at least get a participation trophy for trying something different.

That's the problem with right-wingers. They won't learn the English language, and the don't assimilate into American society. They should all go back where they came from. Maybe we should build a wall.

In these times, people want an answer immediately when they close the doors. If they would have gotten a good talley in 24 hours, I wouldn't see a problem. I haven't checked the news today, so I don't know if they have a winner.

But i'd rather have a solid answer in a day or two than an immediate guess response.
