Democrats have had years to prepare for their first caucus of 2020 in Iowa and they still couldn’t pull it off.
As of 11:45 PM eastern time on Monday night, they still have no idea who won.
No none seems to know anything.
And these are the people who think the government is capable of running health care?
The Associated Press reports:
Poor start: Leadoff Iowa Democratic caucus results delayed
The Iowa Democratic Party said Monday night that results from the state’s first-in-the-nation caucus were delayed due to “quality checks” and new reporting rules, an embarrassing complication that added a new layer of doubt to an already uncertain presidential primary season.
The statement came as Iowa voters packed caucus sites across the state with at least four leading candidates battling to win the opening contest of the 2020 campaign, and ultimately, the opportunity to take on President Donald Trump this fall.
Democrats hoped that Iowa’s caucuses would provide some clarity for what has been a muddled nomination fight for much of the last year. But apparent technology issues delayed the results as the state party suggested turnout was on track to match 2016 numbers.

Bernie supporters are already crying foul…
So Sanders had more than twice as much support as any other candidate at this precinct, but due to some savvy dealmaking and complicated delegate math, they ended up in a 5-way tie for delegates, one apiece. And they were not happy. https://t.co/dBNmilhFTY

Once the results were announced, anger erupted, with one man in a beard standing up and declaring: "This is a joke. Basically, a waste of time. This makes no sense. Absolutely no sense." https://t.co/dBNmilhFTY

This is a disaster for Democrats. It certainly doesn’t inspire confidence.
This is going to take forever. The Iowa caucus "results" are a disaster and nobody will believe them. #IowaCaucuses

If the Democrats can’t run a #caucus that they had four years to prepare for, how the hell can anyone think they could actually run the country? #IowaCaucuses #iowa

The Democrats can’t count votes but they want to run the health care system and manage the climate #2020 #IowaCaucuses
