Their fiasco cost him a legitimate and important bragging opportunity

It now seems to me Bernie is the best of an unimpressive lot.

Can he win?

Sure.

Will he win?

I fear not.

And I fear what will happen in Bozo's second term much, much more.

Bernie Sanders declares 'decisive victory' in Iowa caucuses, rips results reporting 'screw-up'

Three days after the Iowa Democratic caucuses, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders claimed a "decisive victory" Thursday, pointing to his 6,000-vote lead in raw popular votes in the first alignment and downplaying partial results that show a tiny lead for former Mayor Pete Buttigieg in state equivalent delegates.

"We are holding a press conference that should have occurred three nights ago in Des Moines, but for the inability of the Iowa Democratic Party to count votes in a timely fashion," Sanders told reporters packed inside his New Hampshire campaign headquarters.

"That screw-up has been extremely unfair to the people of Iowa, it has been unfair to all of the candidates and all of their supporters. So what I want to do, three days late, is thank the people of Iowa for the very strong victory they gave us Monday night."

Sanders' pronouncement comes as Iowa results are still not fully counted following the malfunction of a cell phone app used to report results.
