Trump Wins Iowa Caucus

There are some people that weren't even aware that Republicans had a caucus in Iowa yesterday too. It's not well reported for some reason - 🤣

But Trump ran away with about 98% of the votes.

The democrats - the ones that want to run YOUR healthcare - Medicare for all - haven't completed the process. There's all kinds of excuses, lot's of meltdowns and plenty of embarrassment. Maybe they are pausing for dramatic effect - you know make an announcement right before Trump's State of the Union Address tonight. Cuz, let's be honest, Trump will have so many good things to report about the state of the union - things have never been better! [Well, except if you're a democrat - in that case the view may look kind of sucky.]

So, what do you think went wrong for the dems in Iowa?

No one's running against Trump, fool. The two most serious contenders are an unknown government official and a local businessman. Trump very vocally ensured things would be this way.

As for the IA caucuses, that's a function of Iowa and a new system. It's got nothing to do with the Democrats. The Republicans are subject to the process, too. Nice try making a state's voting process and partisan issue.

@Graylight Trump had two opponents - even you recognized that.
So, saying no one ran against Trump is a lie.

The democrat Iowa caucus had nothing to do with democrats?
That's what you're go with?

Okie-dokie!
@Graylight the dems had years to prepare for this and experienced a colossal failure due to poorly deployed software on a mobile app. There is someone from the DNC ultimately responsible for ensuring the software is properly tested (obviously it wasn't), and that they have not only a deployment plan and migration strategy, but also contingency plans in the event of a failure. I suppose paper backup in this case. This was the amateur hour run by software hacks.

@BizSuitStacy None of which has anything to do with the issue at hand which are the candidates for the next presidency of the United States. I mean, look at the Republicans - they managed to elect an idiot like Donald Trump.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@Graylight But look at democrats- that can't seem to elect anybody!
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Budwick Yes, we have no Democrats through history or currently.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@Graylight Does anyone know the results of the caucus, smartass?
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Budwick Omg, how will the Republic stand?

It was a bad app roll out. It was a storm between poorly trained workers, people's personal phones and platforms and the app itself. Hardly an uncommon or detrimental anomaly. If the filtration system on Air Force One fails, it doesn't make Trump a bad president. Everything else does, but not that. But you keep concentrating on minutiae that means nothing. That works to our advantage.

@Graylight Every word you said is correct and of course Trump supporters are being @$$e$ about it.But in a perception game like politics a whole gang of people need to make sure everything done in the public eye is seamless this time. Someone should have run this a dozen times before the event.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@Graylight Well, then suck it up!
NO need to argue and lie.
Your team fucked up.
It happens.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@whowasthatmaskedman [quote]Someone should have run this a dozen times before the event.[/quote]

BUT - they didn't.
Are you getting the point there Sparky?
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Budwick Absolutely. Which is why I raised it. It would be UNFORGIVABLE, with a Fubar like Trump in the Shyte House, if the Democrats couldnt walk away with this one. If Bernie gets the brass ring, and croaks, pull a "weekend at Bernies" with him. It has to be better than what you have. and the country is screwed either way. It really isnt a question of someone doing good. Its about stopping Trump doing more harm.
@Graylight no surprise you are trying to pass off as if it's no big deal. The magnitude of this event went right over your head. This was an absolute cluster***k and it has EVERYTHING to do with the democrats. You dipsticks can't even roll out a simple mobile app, but think you can run the country, take over healthcare implementing Medicare for all, believe you can actually alter the world's climate getting country off petroleum and stopping cow farts, get tax payers to pay off the student debt of others, allow the gov't to takeover the tech sector (ironic, ain't it?) and control the populace by infringing upon their rights.

This shit-show of a mobile app deployment is yet another example of leftwing incompetence, and gives us yet another glimmer into the world of liberal utopianism. One that over promises, under delivers and leaves people in ruins.

This was like a mini version of the Obamacare website deployment. Didn't learn the damn lesson previously and made the same mistakes all over again. Remember what Einstein said about insanity, but the same applies to stupidity. No problem though. Run over to CNN and MSNBC for your talking points to spin this one - they'll save you. However,no one will ever know for sure who actually won Iowa - no matter what the media says. LOL.

BTW...Get ready to be butthurt for another 4 years come November.

@BizSuitStacy The people in charge of the mobile app are not running for the office of president of the United State and are different people. They run in different spheres. They are not the same. To think any differently is to lose the thread of the story.

@Graylight [quote] The people in charge of the mobile app are not running for the office of president of the United State[/quote]

I honestly don't think that Biden, Warren or Bernie could have found time to code the app on their own.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Budwick Exactly, which is why using the app failure as some kind of gauge to measure presidential candidates is asinine.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@Graylight Is that what you think is going on?
No, no, no - no one expected the candidates to have anything to do the operational stuff in the election. They have all they can do to stay relevant day to day.
@Graylight just like the people in charge of the Boeing 737 MAX software aren't running the company.
But when it's an issue that catches the public's eye, guess where the buck stops? Executive leadership, because ultimately THEY ARE responsible.

Of course, I never actually blamed the candidates for the failed app deployment, but instead drew the parallels of the deployment's team to the incompetency of the candidate's policies.

Andrew Yang, on the other hand, blamed Trump. LOL
Graylight · 51-55, F
False equivalency.
@Graylight double standard
Graylight · 51-55, F
@BizSuitStacy No, false equivalency. Not comparable. Apples and oranges.
@Graylight You're pushing a double standard. Itçs only a false equivalency when it suits your agenda.

Are you not also in support of gun control laws that would hold gun owners accountable for criminal prosecution should their legally owned firearms be stolen and then are used in a violent crime?

If you didn't have double standards, you'd have no standards at all.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@BizSuitStacy As long as you keep combining outlandishly different conversations into one incoherent string of words, no one's going to be able to give you and answer you want.
@Graylight as long as you continue denying accountability, everyone will see the left's hypocrisy.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@BizSuitStacy Accountability? No Trump worshiper should be legally allowed to use the word.
@Graylight no liberal understands the word. Just point the finger somewhere else as long as it suits the narrative.
