Its simple fuckup. They're flat out saying it.

The Democrats are hilariously incompetent and didn't have a scalable back up plan in place in case their dumb app, which has been kept secret so THE RUSSIANS can't hack it, failed miserably, which it did.

Russia brain, excessive faith in technology, and good old fashioned incompetence have combined to make for a great microcosm of the democrats in general

This kind of dumb thing is exactly what I think of when any dumb wonk says they have a plan for something

As far as I saw/could figure Buttigieg threw in hard in Iowa, it kinda seems to fit him and his white guy appeal, and he benefited from being able to campaign there while the Senators were in DC. Doing well with help legitimatize him as a candidate and he probably hopes that creates momentum for him into the next primaries.

It's basically his only shot. If he can't hack it in a state like Iowa where the gently caress else is he going to snag votes?

He's just the 2020 model of John Edwards. A reasonably charismatic local politician can put on a reasonable Iowa campaign just by being willing to live there for a year while bigger campaigns have to worry about other problems like organizing in other states.

Yeah but it's also a primary, so there's less chance of Pete ending up with as much support in the end as he's gotten tonight.
