      I honestly think the Warren has a much better right to complain about the screw-ups and the rat-fucking in Iowa. But Warren's positioning herself as party unifier is preventing campaign from making that case.https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1225418205516136448 …

      For the all the suspicion of the Iowa debacle as part of an anti-Bernie plot, I think the outcome is basically the best possible one for him.

      Remember how Buttigieg (on dubious grounds) got the DMR to spike the last poll? That hurt Warren more than anyone -- poll showed her doing well and would've given her a boost.

      Also Warren's strong third place showing (well above poll predictions) would be getting a lot more attention if it weren't for the vote tabulation screw up.

      It means something because main role Iowa plays is in setting media narratives based on expectations.

          I guess I’d argue that without media narrratives like ‘outdoing expectations’ and other crap like this, Iowa would be meaningless even to the winner. It’s like 40 delegates. It’s always 100% been what media narrative can a candidate make from it.

          Bern losing to Mayor Pete cannot be good then.

          This media narrative is pretty sweet: The DNC is out to screw Bernie and they can't even do that right, even after trying so hard. Millionaires pumped 100 million into Pete's campaign and he still lost. Biden collapsed. Bernie is going to be the nominee.
