RNC Statement On Iowa Caucus Results
WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement on the Iowa caucus results:
“Tonight was nothing short of an unmitigated disaster for Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party. The Democrat establishment wanted a coronation for Clinton but is now facing the very real prospect that a self-proclaimed socialist could be their party’s nominee. Tonight was a clear statement that Democrat primary voters find Clinton’s hypocrisy and scandals so unpalatable that they are willing to vote for an unelectable 74 year-old socialist from Vermont. With damaging new developments breaking in her email scandal and an all-but-certain loss next week in New Hampshire, the Clinton campaign drastically underperformed when they desperately needed to over deliver.”
Of course while Sanders is certainly unelectable,* he’s probably less unelectable than Cruz. If they each win their respective party’s nomination, we’ll have a sort of Zen koan of an election.
*Apparently the intended sarcasm of this phrase is too obscure. The claim in the RNC press release that Sanders is unelectable is obviously ridiculous — under current political conditions, any candidate who wins a major party nomination in the US is electable, in the sense that any such candidate isn’t going to be a genuine long-shot, simply because of structural factors. That applies to both Sanders and Cruz (and Trump as well).
