Biden because he will come in 4th, at best, so he gets to avoid the immediate media fallout of severely underperforming in a state which he was one of the favorites to win. Considering he has based his entire campaign around electability, a 4th place finish in the first voting state (followed by a likely loss in NH) will put a serious dent in the argument he is most electable.

Trump because he feeds on chaos and making fun of the Democratic party.

The process just got one big black eye because of a Failure to fully test and secure a data system.

Proud to say,here in Nevada,we are now going back to square one and will so our Caucus the old fashion way.

The Idea of bringing in a more tech savvy voters is great,but,if you cannot protect the Technology,well,we just move on.

The results of his likely 4th place finish get buried, and the brakes were slammed on Bernie's momentum because he was deprived of any "BERNIE WINS IOWA" headlines.

I heard this mentioned last night on CNN.
The 'messier' the early primaries are, the better Bloomberg looks.

Plus (they said) Bloomberg's been attacking Trump
and staying out of the 'circular firing squad'.
