Meghan McCain is 'done' with Iowa after caucus confusion: 'This is a disaster'
When it comes to the Iowa caucus, Meghan McCain isn’t pulling any punches.
McCain slammed the Hawkeye State’s handling of the 2020 Democratic caucus on Tuesday’s episode of The View after the process was marred by delayed results due to an issue with an app used to tabulate votes.
“This is a disaster,” said McCain. “Iowa should completely remove themselves from the caucus in general and turn into a primary next election cycle because they clearly can’t handle the responsibility and gravity of this.”
The View co-host also said that the debacle ultimately hurt all those who invested time and money into the candidates involved.
“All the staffers and politicians who have gone to Iowa and spent millions of dollars, left their families, campaigned, and gone to this state because they believe in the ‘first-in-the-nation caucus’ status and to have this happen? It’s a load of garbage, and I’m done with it. I’m completely done with it,” said McCain.
Viewers on Twitter were split, but many said they agreed with McCain and shared her frustrations:
Wow! I agree with @MeghanMcCain. The Iowa caucus is way too overrated.

The idea of a Caucus is outdated, and I seriously question their results, even when they come in.
Why does 1State, get to be the launching point of our elections?
They can make or break candidates, and they KNOW IT!
THIS MESS WAS THEIR BOARD LAST NIGHT!

Others said Iowa’s place in the process is still important, and some noted that mistakes sometimes happen but it’s not a big deal:
@Theview Quit dissing the Iowa caucus! We had a glitch! So get over it!

Put Iowa in the rear view mirror. Focus on New Hampshire.
