Morning Greatness: Still No Answers About the Iowa Caucus

February 7, 2020

Good Friday morning.

Here is what’s on the president’s agenda today:

The president delivers remarks at the North Carolina Opportunity Now Summit in Charlotte, North Carolina
President Trump delivers remarks at the Republican Governors Association Finance Dinner in Washington D.C.

Iowa Caucus remains a dumpster fire

Who won the Iowa caucus? We may never know. The AP has announced it cannot determine a winner. “The Associated Press calls a race when there is a clear indication of a winner. Because of a tight margin between former Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Bernie Sanders and the irregularities in this year’s caucus process, it is not possible to determine a winner at this point,” said Sally Buzbee, the AP’s senior vice president and executive editor.

And it gets worse. Tom Perez, chair of the DNC, has called for a complete recanvass of the results. “Enough is enough. In light of the problems that have emerged in the implementation of the delegate selection plan and in order to assure public confidence in the results, I am calling on the Iowa Democratic Party to immediately begin a recanvass,” Perez tweeted early Thursday afternoon.

The Hill explains a recanvas is “a hand audit of caucus math worksheets and reporting forms to ensure they were properly tallied and reported.”

Isn’t it a bit too late? Sure, Iowa needs to know for its state conventions but the opportunity for a campaign boost and bragging rights has passed, the New Hampshire primary is a few days away. What a disaster for the Democrats. If the purpose was to blunt Bernie Sanders’ momentum, well done.

Trump celebrates his acquittal

Yesterday, the president performed at the White House open mic night where he celebrated his acquittal and thanked those people who supported him during the impeachment charade. The media was horrified by Trump’s victory lap, but they always are. Did they think Trump would come out and apologize?

So what’s next? “We will continue to do our oversight to protect and defend the Constitution,” Ms. Pelosi said. “We really haven’t made any decisions yet,” Mr. Schiff said. Buckle up tight, I’m sure they are cooking something up.
