Democrat Nomination for President

Another satire, I know, but from a different site this time.

DNC Mulls Asking Donald Trump To Run As Democrat In Effort To Stop Sanders

That website reports also that Elizabeth Warren Was Disappointed After DNA Test Shows Zero Trace Of Presidential Material.

OMG, that is great!

1) says who?  (besides you)
2) why not?

A majority, Peter. And are you telling me that in western Canada they don't understand why?

The left calling everyone a bigot and racist all the time if you have a belief that they don't approve, have many people afraid to speak their minds. That's why everyone was surprised when Trump won.  The secrecy of the ballot box allows people to speak up.

Iowa election fiasco.
The idea was actually quite simple: All results should be sent digitally to the party headquarters. Then chaos broke out.
A district chief who was struggling with the new technology was on hold for an hour before the hotline kicked him out. An election officer passed on the results in desperation via Twitter. Others were asked to photograph the handwritten ballot papers and email the photos to the party.

CNN judge Jeffrey Toobin joked: “Breaking news, Democrats announce that Volodymyr Selenskyj won the Iowa election.”

Pete Buttigieg did well, but he needs the Republican IT techs and organization. Biden said, “We have a good feeling”.

Iowa election fiasco...

Yet they want to run a country. Reminds me of the botched Obamacare website launch.

In Democrats defense, they are not quite at home in the American Heartland, among all those rubes.

Must be the Russian hackers playing with that Demo voting app.

If not that, the Dems running the Iowa show must be unbelievably incompetent.
I helped out in several Canadian elections, and we did all the counting manually. It took about about 2-3 hours for each voting station after the closing, and the main election office was adding the station votes continuously as they came in and releasing immediately the intermediate results to the news channels. Even if the Iowa country bumpkins were not the brightest bulbs in those voting rooms, they could have done the complete recount easily by midnight and released the numbers shortly after.

They had to get home to go to sleep because they get up early to milk the cows.  The presidency can wait.  I'm sure Trump will speak of the democrat incompetence to run the country and screw up a good economy at his State-of-the-Union speech to Congress tonight.  HIs point will be, do you want to bet on a horse that trips out-of-the-gate?

Wasn't Biden the one who said that every time he heard Obama speak, he would get a tingle up his leg?  Maybe it was Buttigieg.

That can't be it. Unlike the Iowa caucuses, their cow milking is fully automated, using the latest technology. It works every time, to the satisfaction of both, the farmers and the cows.

Well, milking cows are more important than electing a president.

The strange thing is that the increased dairy consumption is said to improve the brain's cognitive function, so the Iowans should be sharp as tacks.

Emerging evidence suggests that milk products may play a beneficial role in improving cognitive function and thus aid in thought processing and mental ability.

However, this report has been released by the dairy association, so it may be biased. I always suspected that the dairy industry spreads out fake news.

Well, the smart ones are Republicans.

[Alan Klein]

"The Democrat Caucus is an unmitigated disaster. Nothing works, just like they ran the Country," Trump tweeted.

He hasn't wasted any time getting his digs in.  Tonight's state of the union speech will give him an opportunity to stick it to them nationally.

They must have used a different app. Or did the counting manually.

[Alan Klein]

Everyone is knocking the caucus system in Iowa.  But Republicans caucused as well and it went without a hitch.  (Trump won as expected.)  Of course, the fake news media won't talk about how Republicans seem to know what they're doing.  Americans have usually felt that way over the decades, that they are better running the country than Democrats.   Maybe it has something to do with competency.
