But also means he isn’t expecting to win.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

To be honest all of the candidates that spent millions of dollars and countless hours should be spitting nails over this snafu. Whatever gets announced in a day or three will always be overshadowed by the IDP incompetence.

Heads will roll.

There's absolutely no excuse for this. None. Trump and the rest of the rethuglicans are laughing their asses off right now, and you KNOW they're going to turn this into political capital.

I had a really bad feeling when reading that a few of the chairs couldn't download the app today. You have four years to plan for this. Why in the world are you waiting until the day of the Caucuses to download an app that is central to your reporting system? And how do you in turn fuck up the phone backup system?

It's a clown show over there. How hard can it be to count, and then report the numbers you counted?
