At least some folks are enjoying the chaos of Iowa's Democratic caucus.
As the Iowa Democratic Party struggles with apps, counting votes, and hotlines, President Trump's re-election team seems to be having a great time. They're already using the hours-long delay in results to attack their Democratic opponents. Trump's campaign manager Brad Parscale suggested the mix-up in Iowa — which he called the "sloppiest train wreck in history" — is a harbinger of the nation's health care under a Democratic president.
Parscale compared the Democratic process to the GOP caucus in Iowa on Monday night, during which Trump was projected to win handily within a matter of seconds. Of course, that's not a great comparison, considering Trump is the incumbent and had only two challengers, who failed to gain any traction.
