I 'Despise The Iowa Caucuses': Roland Rips Iowa, Calls Caucuses 'Inherently Screwed Up'

The Iowa Caucuses are now over, but we still don't know who won.

The system for reporting votes failed to function properly and back-up telephone hotlines jammed up, leading to no declaration of a winner.

With no results in real time, it was anybody's guess who will be declared the winner. At the present moment, Mayor Pete Buttigieg holds a slight lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Regardless of the outcome, this incident brings into question ... do we really need these caucuses?

During Tuesday's edition of #RolandMartinUnfiltered, Roland deconstructed and blistered the Iowa Caucuses calling the political contest "inherently screwed up."

Glad you are covering this and I’m going to do some research on my own but I wanted to know what are the caucuses and how we’re they set up .... sometimes most of my questions are answered when you cover topics like this ...

Thank you Roland for all you do.

[timinitiator]

This sounds like sabotage those numbers are ridiculous Pete getting those numbers definitely ain’t right!

[neobeetle]

Roland, look into Shadow INC. Pete cheated.

[rodneyblh]

Roland love you brother but you have to chill with cutting off your guests. Please

[seanm.]

See the chicanery that is happening in, Iowa It is a big part of the reason People end up turning into dumbasses and stay home during elections. Why participate in a endeavor you do not trust?

[wadap]

I will say it again, Malik is not useful to this program. You can scratch him.

[timinitiator]

November we better be ready to write in on the ballot. This just might be the things too come in November!

[peaceseeker]

Malik is off target in giving Iowa credit for Obama winning. Just as Obama charmed Iowa in his first campaign, he would have won other states as well even if Iowa would not have been first. Obama won on a strong message and presence, inspiring people across the states.

So the question is? How many African American are in Iowa...ANSWER: NOT MANY AT ALL.

*Iowa is less than 0.4% of the US population, yet about 15% of all campaign money goes to that state alone. Thats insane.*
I was reading an article in Jacobean Magazine... *since 1972 (the first Iowa Caucus), Republican and Democrat party have spent more then $11Billion in the Iowa economy during election cycles. Thats just $11Billion in free money, campaign donations, TV money, Sales money going into the pocket of White people sitting on their arses and letting Politicians tell them what they are going to promis them. Not only Iowa Caucus needs to go... the entire fucking state needs to go.*

If only Melik only fought for BLACK people right like he fights to protect white people maybe he wouldn't be so damn nauseating.

[reneeislight]

EVERYONE CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATORS. HAVE THEM ADD YOUR STATE TO THE NPV (National Popular Vote).

[LovenOther]

Malik is right about Iowa being the boost that made Obama the nominee.

[jasonstemley]

WTF! No wonder they can't get it right. That is the most idiodic, nonsense I've ever heard of and why they are still doing this type of buffoonery. Why are they still putting up with this BS is beyond me. They just want to stay in the limelight with being first and all eyes are on them. But they should really like this attention now. C'mon!

[blondebrittney]

I’m so happy!!! Not guilty! Trump 2020! Justice!

[Barbaric_Iron]

Yes they should have boxes so voters can vote and go home, expecally people with disabilities...Just saying!

[peaceseeker]

I agree 100% with Roland. Many voters are DUMB and simple minded in their views and decision making. Self defeating is a nicer way to say it. This is not a party specific phenomena. I like that Roland has his own platform where he does not have to be worried about always being politically correct.

[GatorGirl]

Roland, let Malik speak bruh. I know he’s wrong and i disagree with 99% of his talking points but you ain’t gotta cut him off like a child. He’s still a grown black man with unfortunately screwy beliefs.

Buttigieg was a volunteer for OBAMA & learned the game; How O beat Hillary.
