It's almost ironic because they basically represent the alpha and the omega of the political spectrum within the modern Democratic Party, but there's no question that the Iowa Democrats massive fuck-up during the caucus hurt Bernie Sanders more than any other candidate, and helped Michael Bloomberg (and Biden, and Buttigieg) more than any other candidate.

That's because Bloomberg wasn't even on the ballot in Iowa, and has bet the farm on an unusual campaign strategy focused on winning a string of primaries in March. No candidate has ever clinched the nomination without bagging either Iowa or New Hampshire, but then again, no candidate has ever had an 11-figure fortune to throw around, either.

Aside from spending $10 million for an almost unbelievably brief Superbowl spot, what has Bloomberg's coterie of overpaid advisors recommended? How about 'embracing a strategy that's worked for hundreds of shady 'fit tea' hawkers', Bloomberg is giving money to social media influencers in the hopes that they'll make him look 'cool'.
