I can’t think of a bigger endorsement of “political revolution” than last night’s clusterfuck in Iowa.
It’s hard to tell where incompetence ends and corruption begins. Or if there’s really any difference. Incompetence, in this instance, is functioning like a fifty-foot shit-heap upon which Mayor Pete is more than happy to scale and plant his flag.

According to their count, Sanders is in first place, five points ahead of Buttigieg. This seems to be the growing consensus. According to Dave Wasserman of the Cook Political Report, “there’s virtually no question Sanders won the most caucus support” in the first round and that the final tally “leans Sanders,” an assessment echoed by Nate Cohn of the New York Times.
