I was working on a new conspiracy last night......Bloomburg is spending billions and didnt jump into the waters of the Iowa caucus........the Iowa caucus ends up being  a total cluster (that will surely sink the dems).  THe Clintons former campaign people have their fingers all over it with the company that built the app.  Bloomburg and Clinton are buds.  

So Bloomburh knew the Clintons were rigging the Iowa caucus to blow up and Bloomburg knew to stay out.

LOL.

Right bro....

Or....maybe, just maybe...Bloomberg knew he wouldn't be competitive in Iowa as he entered the race too late to be able to organize a ground game, so he skipped it...

Biden shows that name alone without a strong ground game leads to a 4th place. 

It is looking like Iowa is a virtual tie between Pete and Bernie with 97% of the vote in. Pete leads by .1% and in state delegates 550.34 to 546.87. 

So, its a wash pretty much like 2016 where Clinton won the delegate county but Bernie won the overall total. 

On to New Hamphsire...

I'm still sticking with my old theory that you're a total idiot who auto-believes any random line spewed by any right-wing blog, regardless of how stupid it sounds to anyone capable of rational thought.

And out drops yang. Buttigieg and Klobuchar doing better than expected. S.C. will be interesting as it will be the first place that isn’t super white (both) or super Bernie (NH). 

Warren all but dead. 

Buttegig and Klobachar ticket

Biden is circling the drain.

Maybe, still way to go.

Not yet. I wouldn't be shocked if he dropped out though after Nevada and especially if he doesn't win South Carolina. 

Even if he wins SC, but doesn't do well on Super Tuesday, he is toast. 

I think this is still wide open. I could still see any of the top 5 along with Bloomberg taking the nomination, or even a contested convention.

I think Bloomberg has the best shot after Sanders, Klobachar, and Buttigieg. I think Biden will do better in SC than he has been, but how can you possibly see Warren taking the nomination? She is toast.

She is the one most likely to drop out. But, shit, what if she pulls off a miracle in Nevada or voters dump Bernie for her? It is unlikely, but possible. A lot can happen between now and Nevada. 

Bernie-Klobuchar......ugggghhhhh

I do think Biden will drop out soon.  I also think we're going to end-up with a contested convention (which is exactly how a Bernie-Klobuchar ticket could happen).

Don't see Buttigieg as anyone's VP - white male, and gay, is not going to help anyone's ticket.  I'd like to see Gabbard on the ticket.

This race could end-up playing out a lot like Repubs in 2016.  Bernie has his core of voters, even more if Warren drops out, and then you could have 3 or 4 "moderates" splitting the rest.

It seems like few Dems are confident any of these people can beat Trump.  I could see voters coalescing around Bloomberg, not to mention the trucks of money he has to spend.  He might be the only one that can win the general.

Totally, totally agree.

Yup. Agreed. 

The Ad he put out online a few days ago pitting words of US Presidents against that of Trump at rallies was great.

Warren spending her last few buck to run ads....begging people to send her more money!  Poor girl didn't even have enough money to pay William Devane to shill for her.

I saw a poll showing that Bernie polls well with college students.

Hard to believe a dude promising to wipe out their tuition bills is polling well with that demographic.

LOL, like that girl that had $6 to her name and gave half of it to Warren.  Not a bad ROI if it gets your student loans wiped out!  Except it's not happening, and instead it's just another in what will likely be a string of bad financial decisions for that young woman.   Would have been better off investing that $3 in a lottery ticket.

Biden trailing a communist, a gay, and a fake Indian.  Look for a medical issue to pop up very shortly taking him out of the race.

WTF does have to do with anything? 

The knock on Pete is his age and just expereience as a small town mayor. 

For many voters it has a lot do with it, and I am not speaking for myself.  Thus, for Biden to still be trailing, it proves he is toast.

Perhaps, but maybe not. It is yet to be seen in swing states. 

Also, Biden isn't toast yet. He is still leading in a lot of Super Tuesday states.

"A gay" reminds me of this bit by Zack Galafianakis (it's the last bit of the clip, but the whole thing is funny):

LOL.  Maybe I've heard that before and it just didn't register, I don't know.  But it does sound odd, like something someone who doesn't realize they're a bigot would say.  Or maybe it's something said by people who used to or would otherwise have said "he's a fairy" [though obviously not the word I'm referring to].

Yea the polls have been very accurate.  I would trust them
