.@Maddow: "They didn't come out in droves in Iowa"
Tom Perez: "When you look at all of the turnout, the successes, we've had over 3 years, I'm certainly not going to sit here after one caucus and say, 'There's a problem, Houston'" pic.twitter.com/2TYl7aR3oD

It wasn’t only that Democrats can’t count, it’s that they didn’t turn out either, when they’re supposed to be so powered with hate for Trump. That does not bode well for them, if that continues.
Via Fox News:
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow grilled Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tom Perez over the low turnout at Monday’s Iowa caucuses, pointing out how Democrats “didn’t turn out in droves” like in previous election cycles.
Whiles technical errors with the voting system have plagued the Democrat Party over the past several days, some on the left are sounding the alarms after early results from the Iowa caucuses draw a parallel to the 2016 turnout, which was roughly 170,000 voters.
In 2008, there were nearly 240,000 voters.
During a sit-down on Thursday night, Maddow asked about the low turnout and whether it’s a sign about the eventual general election outcome in November.
