Trump campaign jubilant as Democrats' big night implodes
By David Smith in The Guardian:
A mocking tweet from the president cannot be far behind the vote-counting chaos has been a PR disaster for Democrat
They couldnt organise a caucus in a brewery. Or a church, or a library, or a school gymnasium. Democrats heroic charge to end Donald Trump in the final battle for decency and democracy has spiralled into vote-counting carnage and chaos.
Imagine if the shoe has been on the other foot. Imagine if Trumps White House had spent four years preparing for an election only to mess it up. It would have been seen, quite rightly, as yet another example of his incompetence, ineptitude and inability to focus on detail or retain experienced staff.
Instead, as we let a thousand conspiracy theories bloom, it is the Democratic party that has some explaining to do. The Iowa campaign began two and half years ago only to end with the biggest televised blunder since the best picture Oscar was presented to La La Land instead of the real winner, Moonlight.
With no results, political number crunchers on cable news stared in horror at blank maps and columns of 0%. Candidates who had been expecting to make victory speeches, or consoling speeches, were left in limbo.

(456 posts)The Guardian is a left-leaning newspaper. If you're not going to listen to constructive criticism, then mistakes are doomed to be repeated.
Read the article - there's nothing there that isn't true.
