Listened to Beck this morning (treadmill time) and he had Cruz on -- They were talking about the caucus.  It is an absolute complete disaster.  Cruz did say that he didn't think there was really anything going on by the DEMS -- it is nothing more than their sheer incompetency.  He went on to state that these are the same people that want you to entrust your lives to by voting for them.

“It is a pattern of fake it till you make it,” one top Democrative operative said of McGowan and her firm, ACRONYM. “You talk a big game and then sort of hope it becomes true.”

On Monday, all eyes turned to one company in McGowan’s portfolio, Shadow Inc., as Iowa precinct chairs reported serious flaws with the app it had developed tabulate the vote. ...
