The Iowa Debacle
Political Wireby Taegan Goddard

Axios: “The Iowa caucus machinery melted down last night, leaving nervous campaigns and exhausted voters with not a single result. The Iowa Democratic Party hopes to release numbers Tuesday.”

“The debacle overshadowed the winners-losers story of the night, opened Democrats to accusations of incompetence by the Trump campaign and reignited the debate about how long this small, predominately white state should keep its lock on first-in-the-nation status.”

David Yepsen quoted by Politico: “This fiasco means the end of the caucuses as a significant American political event. The rest of the country was already losing patience with Iowa anyway and this cooks Iowa’s goose. Frankly, it should, The real winner tonight was Donald Trump, who got to watch his opponents wallow in a mess. A lot of good Democratic candidates and people who fought their hearts out here for … nothing.”
