Uncertain grounds
Everyone tuned out after the No vote on witnesses. But the coverage took the wind out of Iowa's sails.

Then after the No vote impeachment was considered over by the masses because the media said that was it. Today is a formality.

Now all they're talking about is Trump's speech.

Lol. They're really giving him a media bump after Iowa

Dems lost.

Theyre talking about pelosis reactions more than the speech

I listen to the Daily Zeitgeist, and they made a great point that this debacle is really a media created story. The media needed information the night off and needed to see that triumphant speech and create narratives. Since it was denied, they are spazzing out.
It's definitely amplified by the media but there's no denying that it's a debacle.

DNC and Iowa Democrats are still handling it terribly with these partial releases. I'm following it very closely and even I don't know what percentage we're on anymore :hubie:

If people in leadership came out on the night of the caucus and said "The app is not working, we'll do a full paper count by hand. It will take 2 days, go home and have a good night". Everything would've been fine.

For sure

None of this absolves the DNC and Iowa Democratic Party’s incompetence.

Yeah he has no chance.

He only ran in order to elevate his profile because he can't win any other election besides mayoral. Concerning part is that he actually got that many votes anywhere, I think his goal was to be around 8%. But if he tanks Biden I'm happy with it :lolbron:
well he's fukking up Liz's bag too and

How do you explain the partial release then? Why would you not just wait until we had the full results? Makes no sense

It doesn’t absolve the Iowa Dems, the app, or the DNC. My point is if the expectation was that this paper ballot was going to spit out the results 72 hours later, people would have been fine with that but the media would have a conniption.

Partial releases keep coming because they keep promising artificial deadlines:

"We will have the results at 5 pm"

...

"We will have more results at 10 pm"

...

"We will have more results in the morning"
