Biggest story out of the Iowa caucuses wasn't Democrats screwing up, it was their dismal turnout. Democrats had hoped to break their record turnout ever which was in 2008. Back then, 240,000 people caucused in the Democratic primary in Iowa. Early predictions for this year are at most, 170,000. That is more like 2016, and it may even be less. It spells very very bad news for the DNC. The turnout is the result of a lackluster field of candidates that no one wants.
