Post caucus, Mayor Pete declared victory, team Sanders trashed Pete and the DNC, and Elizabeth Warren spent 20 minutes just bodying Trump and kicking him in the teeth repeatedly and then thanked her dog. Which is why I like Warren.
Pete’s (initially) long shot campaign put all its chips on Iowa, and he always needed an Iowa bounce to build momentum nationally, so when the local Democratic Party stuffed up the process he was in a tough spot. He knew he’d likely won from entrance polls. What would you do?
