Kinda par for the course when it comes to that crowd, really.

It helped Sanders because he proclaimed victory via a popular vote that has no bearing in a caucus and it muddled up Buttigieg's genuine win in Iowa for weeks.

It hurt Democrats for obvious reasons.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
