Iowa primaries

Today, I had planned to comment on the Iowa primaries and see how our Democratic candidates had done, but unfortunately, the results weren’t know this morning, because of a major software snafu with an app used to tabulate caucus results.

It seems that the app was not even seriously tested and created a major embarrassment for the Iowa Democratic Party in charge of the event. These guys had four years to prepare for this, test the app and train their people, but they managed to mess it all up.

While the format of the Iowa caucuses, the racial make up of the state left a lot to be desired, this deals a blow to relying too much on meaningless data.

The preliminary results are a mixed bag that looks disastrous for Biden and promising for Bloomberg who is now convinced that none of the candidate have the mettle to beat Trump...
