Хорошее начало – дела середина

Загадочные демократические обосратушки в Айове выглядят особенно конспирологично на фоне неопубликованного последнего полла СNN.

Politico: ‘It’s a total meltdown’: Confusion seizes Iowa as officials struggle to report results

Guardian: Joe Biden flopped in Iowa. And so did the Democratic party’s reputation

The Week: Trump just won the Iowa Democratic caucuses

CNN: The Iowa caucuses just died forever

На RCP до сих пор висит табличка с двумя посчитанными процентами. Первая тройка – Сандерс, Уоррен и Буттиджич, потом Клобушар и Байден (11% против 28% у Сандерса), а у остальных сплошные нули.

Про русских хакеров пока сообщений не видел.

 
Цитата из Politico, к вопросу о конспирологии:
 

The biggest "winner" might have been Joe Biden. According to the Iowa entrance poll, he was hovering close to the viability threshold of 15 percent statewide. But the questions surrounding the vote-counting served to obscure a potentially poor performance. The former vice president, facing potentially ugly headlines going into New Hampshire and beyond, couldn’t get out of Iowa fast enough.

“We’re going to walk out of here with our share of delegates,” Biden declared to a packed room on the Drake University campus. “It’s on to New Hampshire!”

Conversely, it might have delivered a blow to Sanders and Buttigieg, who appeared on track to do well in the state. Whether the victor turns out to be Sanders or Buttigieg or someone else, that candidate was denied the chance to give an election night victory speech to a nationwide audience — a springboard heading into New Hampshire.

 Буттиджича, что характерно, отсутствие результатов не смутило, и он эту самую election night victory speech все равно произнес.
