[UPDATE: 3 days later it looks like I was correct with this post]
I realize there are dozens of conspiracy theories "out there" as to what happened in Iowa, and why. And I realize that the following will be just one more. But what if THIS one, which makes sense, is actually true?
It's no secret the DNC does not want Bernie Sanders as the nominee. It is also no secret that they realize the devastating rift in the Democrat party, between socialists and establishment. So I began to wonder, "What would I do if I were in charge of the Iowa Caucus?"
I'll make it short and sweet - I would discredit the results, even if I publish the true results. If it began to appear that Sanders was way ahead of all the others, I would simply make the caucus results appear questionable in the minds of the people. I would hold off on providing the results, and then claim there are issues and the results would be delayed. Then I would wait at least one, maybe two days for the pot to boil and conspiracy theories to foment, then publish the results and swear they are true and accurate.
And no one - no one - would believe that for a New York minute. The conspiracy theories would take over.
And while the DNC would be publishing true results - let's say Sanders won in a landslide - only Sanders' supporters will believe that, and it would seriously cramp the Sanders campaign going forward.
Not only would that taint the Sanders campaign, it would give a boost to Bloomberg - the so-called "establishment" candidate, as he was not even in the caucus. He is the only one left unscathed.
Which just may be the objective.
