Iowa Democrats hung up on campaigns after call gets heated

"The Iowa Democrats hosted a conference call with the campaigns within the last hour.

Sources confirm the Iowa Dems hung up on the campaigns as campaigns pressed for more information about the issues with reporting and when they would receive more data/results. Sources say the call got very heated."

But I did not think Biden would not be viable.

In a way, I feel sorry for him.

And this dog and pony show was to throw cold water on that outcome and the optics. Robbing whomever the winner was, Sanders or not, of celebrating the victory and gaining the publicity and momentum of the election night victory.

Let’s just throw that out there based on nothing.

This conflagration damages the whole Democratic Party. It can be used as fodder to say we can’t even run a primary election, let alone a nation.

We don’t need “Oh poor Bernie” conspiracy theories.
