I’ll just go to bed tonight, I thought, then bang out a blog past tomorrow when it’s clear who won Iowa.
Ha!
You know who won Iowa last night? President Donald Trump, both literally, with 97% of the vote, as well as figuratively and symbolically, as Democrats still don’t know who won, reportedly due to additional time necessary to rig the results “technology problems and reporting ‘inconsistencies.'”
Which didn’t keep Pete Buttigieg from declaring victory. Sort of.

The Twitterverse is not sanguine about the results, as indicated by this snapshot of trends this morning:
For the #Shadow and #PetetheCheat and #MayorCheat trends, here are two tweets explicating the theory:
So, at this point it appears that:
1. Shadow is led by ex Hillary staffers and people with personal relationships with Pete's campaign.
2. Pete's campaign gave money to Shadow, the only campaign to do so.
3. Pete put out a tweet storm about how he won, with 0 results in.

Hot on the heels of that mysteriously cancelled poll, lots of Sanders supporters see a conspiracy afoot between the DNC and members of the media to screw Sanders and boost Buttigieg, a theory that has at least the veneer of plausibility.
More tweets:
The Democrat Caucus is an unmitigated disaster. Nothing works, just like they ran the Country. Remember the 5 Billion Dollar Obamacare Website, that should have cost 2% of that. The only person that can claim a very big victory in Iowa last night is “Trump”.

Even if the @DNC were completely innocent of intentional wrongdoing, they’d still be grossly and inexcusably incompetent.
Either way, the #DNCisCorrupt and needs to be gutted, dismantled, and entirely replaced.

A theory: Tom Perez is a plant by party loyalist and after he "does what he was there to do all along" & tampers w the primary..he will..wait? Get a handsome parachute when he leaves the DNC!? Well the last part isn't conspiracy it's facts #TomPerezResign https://t.co/DrdXVrbZZn

DEBATE MODERATOR: Mister Sanders, is it true that Pete Buttigieg won the Iowa primary?
SANDERS: No. Absolutely not. Reports clearly show-
DEBATE MODERATOR: Mister Buttigieg, how did you feel when you won the Iowa primary?

They still don’t have #IowaCaucus results? 😂
Why would we let this party run our country when they can’t even run their own caucus? It’s seriously like they can’t get out of their own way.

By the time this count is over, there will be fewer people who believe that the DNC DIDN'T screw Bernie than believe that Epstein killed himself. #IowaCaucuses #BernieScrewed#IowaCaucus#IACaucus

As they say: Developing.
“You lying beetroot” is my new favorite insult.
LOL at Bernie’s data leaving out Bloomberg.
The Iowa Caucus didn’t kill itself.
And neither did Epstein.
