    (CNN)The Democratic 2020 crusade to oust President Donald Trump could not have got off to a more disastrous and embarrassing start. The party couldn't even deliver a first-in-the-nation election night winner after a vote-reporting debacle in Iowa — where candidates spent months and millions of dollars vying for a glittering opening prize in their nominating duel.

    "Iowa, you have shocked the nation," said former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg. It was a bold attempt to declare victory in the absence of a result, but the 38-year-old inadvertently cast an ironic judgment on a political train wreck.The big Hawkeye State miss will be agonizing for whoever comes out on top but for any candidates who under performed -- perhaps former Vice President Joe Biden -- it might turn into a priceless lifeline. The caucus nightmare also played right into the hands of a President spoiling for months to brand his rivals as weak, disorganized and even worse — plotting to rig the results to hand its crown to an establishment favorite. There's little doubt that Trump, who consistently erodes distrust in institutions and governing systems, will weaponize such a narrative if it looks like he will lose in November.

    Democrats still can learn. Socialists like most of those running will assume the government will give them the knowledge.

    It’s clear you can’t trust dems to run a fair and transparent election

    Sounds like someone shot themselves in their foot. Their diverse IT team deserves an applause!
    I bet the Dems will never learn!

    Good news for Trump - Democrat’s IT team sucks.

    Really bad news for Trump - Dems had a record turn-out of voters. Much like the Obama turn out.

    The results are on Hillary's private server.

    Get real here. When the dems have "problems with voting" they are trying to fix the results.

    Could it be any more obvious than this that the democrats are changing the votes for the beta male that they want to represent them? I'm not even surprised about this, they've been lying and showing their corrupt true colors for 3 years now. Not even an attempt to hide it.

    Andrew Wang was on twitter saying if we had a president and government capable of understanding technology then this kind of stuff wouldn't happen. He actually blamed this on Trump, LOL!

    Love the CNN hit piece, too... Those idiots.

    Oh, did you see the results or something? Though I can easily see them adding thousands of votes to make it appear like it was a record turnout. The skewed polls didn't work last time, so this time it'll be screwed up machines (yay for automation and robots) and then suddenly record turnouts. Who are you really trying to fool here, us or yourself?

    All you can do is laugh. It's one of those things where it's so stupid it's funny. Here's the tweet.

    "It might be helpful to have a President and government that understand technology so this sort of thing doesn’t happen."

    There's not a damn thing complicated about adding columns of whole numbers. No technology was ever needed, and as it is plain to see, technology is a curse in elections.

    Honestly, I'm surprised that Iowans are willing to go through the process which seems quite time consuming and tedious, sitting around for hours is NOT my cup of tea. When I vote in the primary It take me 10 minutes in and out, all done.

    Also I was a bit shocked for one of the cnn pundits who said specifically that he has been to these and that there is a lot of horse trading that goes on, examples used were people promising to mow lawns for a period of time or bake cookies for a year, etc, which sure as hell looks like some dirty tactics. In Florida we don't allow any of that crap, no soliciting on the premises, period.

    Democrats are tribal. The supporters of the losers will stay home in November. Very few Bernie voters will show up and vote for Biden (or anyone else).

    In 2012, the Republicans in Iowa declared Mitt Romney the winner. Two weeks later they announced Rick Santorum had actually won. Appears both parties suck at math in Iowa.

    During Obama's 8 years any bad news was the fault of "W". Now for the past 3 years everything going wrong is Trump's fault. Makes me want to vote for the Dems, since they are perfect.
