CBS Declares Trump Winner of Dem Iowa Caucus Chaos

On Tuesday, anchors, correspondents, and pundits on CBS This Morning all agreed that the real winner of the Democratic Iowa caucus was actually President Trump, given all the chaos that plagued the contest. The network broadcast labeled Monday’s inauspicious start to the 2020 Democratic primary season an “embarrassment” that only “helps the President.”  


During a panel discussion at the top of the 8:00 a.m. ET hour, CBS News political analyst and Republican strategist Terry Sullivan announced: “Look, at the end of the day, the real winner here, the results are in, is Donald Trump.”

Both King and co-host Anthony Mason immediately agreed with his assessment. Sullivan continued: “I mean, how is he not the winner from this? Every front page of every newspaper no longer has a candidate’s picture on it and their name, it has ‘Indecision in Iowa’….‘Chaos.’” King declared: “Can’t you see at the White House today, Terry, they’re saying to the Democrats, ‘Keep doing what you’re doing.’”
