CNNSOTU: Bernie Sanders: Iowa was an embarrassment

Feb 9, 2020

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders called the Iowa Democratic caucus an "embarrassment" and a "disgrace" after party officials were unable to release any votes at all, due to technical issues.

Iowa WAS an embarrassment and gives nothing but fodder to Rethuglicans who excel at whipping Americans into a "voter fraud" frenzy.

It worked fine since 1972. He's just a sore loser.

about the entire caucus process. I just hope going forward we don't have any more Iowa's because it really was embarrassing. We've been waiting MONTHS for this and blew it in the first round.

But there was no reason to screw with Iowa's reporting process, or their method of choosing delegates.

He won more delegates.

He won more precincts.

He won more individuals.

The problem is that multiple precincts did the math incorrectly.

Perez asked for a recanvass- why isn’t that happening?
