Iowa Dems Flub an App, Trump Reps Deny Climate Change, Election Cheating

Iowa Democrats Flub an App, Trump and Republicans Deny Climate Change and Trump Election Cheating

Compare the Iowa Democrats flubbing an app, to Trump and all Republicans lying about climate change and the science of climate change.  They do this for election support by the fossil fuel industries.  

Compare a few days delay in Iowa to Trump spending four months and engaging the leading cabinet members getting Ukraine’s President Zelensky to lie about investigating the Bidens.  This is to support Trump’s re-election.

Compare the array of Democratic candidates and policy varieties to the almost solid Republican Senate running a fraudulent impeachment trial in order to get Trump voters for their re-election.

Compare the Iowa delay for accuracy, to Trump’s 16,000 lies during his three years in office.

Remember, in Orange County, it took almost a month to count last minute, absentee and provisional ballots, all of which were legal, to upset Republican House seats.  Trump called all late counts as illegal, a preview of how he may cheat in the 2020 election.

The real mistake could start with the Democratic National Committee.  It converted many states from caucuses to primaries, but should have done that to Iowa, or removed it from first place.  Iowa has only 1% of the delegates, is 80% white, and not widely representative of the Democratic demographics.  Iowa is also a state with a Republican Governor, and two Republican Senators.  However, it does have three Democratic Representatives, and one Republican Representative.  It should not have been so heavily courted by Democratic candidates and the media, for an entire year, or a hundred candidate days.  The DNC should also have checked the counting procedures.  As all farmers know, you reap what you sow.

By the way, David Chalain of CNN said that 40% of delegates were at stake on Super Tuesday.  That was the original count, but states shifted, and now it is 34% of delegates at stake on Super Tuesday.  That was my latest number, and it is confirmed by the Register graphic last weekend.

What we learned from 62% of Iowa today, is that we still have four and maybe five viable Democratic candidates.

Not so Fun Facts about Trump and Election Computers:

In the recount of one of the Blue Belt states which were won by Trump, he had his lawyers block the checking of the election computer’s software.

“Russia, if you’re listening” request to hack Hillary Clinton’s computer, which they tried to do that night.  Hacking a computer is a crime.  Asking someone to hack a computer is a crime.  Asking a foreign enemy to hack the computer of your political opponent for President, is just plain Treason.

Trump has refused to acknowledge US Intelligence that Russia hacked the DNC, DCCC, and John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman.  He has therefore lacked in strengthening American election computers.  Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell finally agreed to only half of the desired funding for election computer upgrades, and only this year, two years too late.

Trump had a link to Wikileaks through Russia publication of hacked material, a crime.  Trump exploited hacked emails, instead of using fair play in the election.

Trump benefited from FBI Director Comey raking Hillary over the coals for having her own personal server, although members of Congress are allowed to, and Clinton’s was never hacked.  Comey did not recommend charges to DOJ, and his report was supposed to be private in any case.  Trump used this over and over (“Lock Her Up”).

Comey II, just 11 days before the election, appeared and publicly declared that he was reopening the investigation, since Clinton was having her non-classified emails printed through her aid’s husband Anthony Weiner’s computer.

Trump had sent Rudy, the Raider of the Lost Server, to trace the examined DNC computer to Ukraine, and prove that Ukrainians did the 2016 election hacking, as Putin was pushing.

Trump used a foreign firm, Cambridge Analytica, with stolen Facebook data, to do targeting during the 2016 election.  Using a foreign firm was considered foreign influence. This election, SLOTUS, Son in Law of the United States Jared Kushner, is in charge of computer micro targeting.

Trump hid a Quid pro Quo with getting permission for a Trump Moscow, and removing sanctions on Russia, up until Election Day.  Campaign Director Paul Manafort got the sanctions removed from the Republican platform.

Trump is still using a regular cell phone to talk to friends.  EU Ambassador Sondland called Trump on an ordinary cell phone in a restaurant in Kyiv, about the Quid pro Quo.  Trump was so loud, he was even overheard by an aide.

After a year of battling each other, Democratic candidates have to focus on battling Trump.
