Clinton & Buttigieg used same (CIA?) playbook in Iowa

The similarities between what happened in the Iowa Caucuses last night and what happened back in 2016 during that razor-thin contest are too strong to be coincidence.

They’re uncanny. Spooky, even. Consider:

Last night, based on no facts and zero precincts reporting, Pete Buttigieg, who hadn’t won anything, nonetheless gave a victory speech while people were still awake.

Four years ago Hillary Clinton’s campaign did the same thing. While every major network and news outlet was still reporting that the race was too close to call, her campaign declared victory by 9:30 p.m. Monday night.

Leaving no hint that Iowa was anything but a victory, the AP reported the former secretary of State told supporters she was “so proud I am coming to New Hampshire after winning Iowa!”

 

Is this why the Iowa Poll went missing?

Then, two nights ago the much-anticipated Iowa poll results were suppressed without reason or warning. That might have been to spare everyone further embarrassment.

Four years ago, the big Des Moines Register Iowa Poll did make it into print. Some may wish it didn’t. It was wildly, drunkenly, inaccurate.

It showed 56 percent of likely Democratic caucus participants favoring Clinton as their first choice for president. Just 5 percent favored Sanders.

Yet thirty-six hours later the race was still too close to call.

Was it just bad judgment? Or something worse?

It wasn’t until seventeen hours after Iowa’s Democratic caucuses began that The Associated Press officially called Hillary Clinton the winner by a razor-thin margin over challenger Bernie Sanders, 49.8 percent of state delegate equivalents to Sanders ‘49.6.

She had already taken a victory lap (or two) by then.

 

The secret Shadow app business

Then, of course, there is the whole business of Buttigrieg’s funding of the failed app. The whole business about why the Iowa Democratic party insisted the app be kept secret.

We refuse to demean ourselves by repeating the sordid details.

 

Hot rumor: During the caucus tally four years ago, the Iowa Democratic Party used an unnamed smartapp supposedly similar to the one which prevented tallying ballots Monday night.
