REALLY….
The Iowa Caucus realtime debacle is playing out….
Software problems?
Social media SCREAMING about a ‘fix’ for Sanders….
Reports that Biden might go to court to stop a partial rollout of numbers?
Reports of Russian hacking efforts to help Bernie who we ALL think Donald Trump would like to run against as the easiest mark…

Trump & Co ARE saving ALL off this for November 3rd….
It WILL be their case if their guy comes out a loser ….
