what's going on in Iowa?

Iowa... what a shitshow...

- damn what happened to Gabbard? she seemed the most normal of the bunchinteliboy
- Not a huge surprise, she never polled beyond 1% or so and didn't seem to put any effort into getting people to go vote for her.yuekit
- The real story here (if these numbers hold up) is the collapse of Biden. He was supposed to be the frontrunner.yuekit
- Tulsi is too Republican to be a Democrat, but Butti clipped off Warren... and WTF, shitshow extraordinarie.robotron3k

I'm not surprised to see Robo fanning the flames of dissension in the Dem ranks. This is exactly following the 2016 playbook: Claim that the whole process is rigged to screw Bernie, thereby pushing the candidate that Trump and Putin want to see win the nomination, and when he doesn't win, depress turnout in the process. The whole thing is discord amplified by Russian bots.
In Iowa, there are paper ballots, and they'll get things sorted out and declare a winner today. In 2012, it took more than two weeks to declare the Iowa Republican winner (Santorum).
- it IS rigged to screw Bernie, He's going to change the status quo, the Dem establishment would rather have Trump then Bernie.GuyFawkes
- You know what the problem is all, Dems need a "normal" candidate against PT. a curmudgeon, a gay collegiate, another lying woman, and a perv polito=no bueno,robotron3k
- This is getting way too complicated trying to figure out what Putin theoretically wants and trying to do the opposite. Just vote for who you want to win.yuekit
- They’d love to see Bernie be the front-runner, Pretty much guarantees another trump winGnash
- the establishment will shit if it's Bernie vs Trump, they will do whatever it takes to to not have Bernie as pres, including keeping Trump in.GuyFawkes
- I dunno about that, all of the Dems are actually pretty competitive against Trump. Pete Buttigieg is the weakest candidate according to polling.yuekit
- https://www.realclea…yuekit
- The Dems are crooked as all hell, a few of them can beat Trump, but if the establishment still wins nothing changes in the grand scheme of thingsGuyFawkes
- getting money out of politics should be a priority, the media will not have it though since all of that $$ is for ads that ends up in their pockets.GuyFawkes
- Yeah I was responding to Gnash thinking Sanders can't possibly win. I agree with you though, if Sanders is the nominee you'll see a bunch of establishmentyuekit
- hack pundits suddenly start rooting for Trump lol. But they have less and less influence these days.yuekit
- yup, times are changing w/ the internetz killing mainstream media & boomer generation dropping off.GuyFawkes
- the polls must be right, thenGnash
- What do you think the real numbers are? You think Trump is ahead by 10 points or something?yuekit
- The way I see it all of the candidates have strengths and weaknesses. It's true that Sanders' policies could scare some people off. But he also has the mostyuekit
- enthusiastic supporters, probably the best run campaign and can raise huge amounts of money. Not sure Biden or any of the other candidates can say the same.yuekit
- I was responding to the assertion that the Russians and trump are colluding to get Bernie off the ticket.Gnash
- And as sad as it may be, I don’t see any of the front runners beating trump.Gnash
- Maybe none of them could, maybe any of them could. It would be foolish IMO to predict the outcome in a country where elections are routinely decided by a fewyuekit
- hundred thousand votes in some random state.yuekit
- Bernie is one of the only ones that could win. I was wrong last time thinking he couldn't win. Biden would lose badly, imho.formed

Senator Rand Paul outed the alleged Trump whistleblower on the floor of the Senate
On Tuesday, Senator Rand Paul read a question on the floor of the Senate that outed the alleged Ukraine whistleblower.
The move flies in the face of Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, who previously blocked Paul's question.
Though a bloc of GOP members has repeatedly tried to out the whistleblower, there is bipartisan consensus that the whistleblower's identity should be protected.

What a fucking helmet!

This is getting way too complicated trying to figure out what Putin theoretically wants and trying to do the opposite. Just vote for who you want to win. --yuekit
Yuekit...Putin wants to sow discord in the West. He wants to weaken democracies that stand in the way of Russia when it does stuff like invade Ukraine. He wants to destroy NATO.
Thus, Trump. Thus, Brexit.
He favors Sanders against Trump because Sanders will get destroyed by Trump in the general election, because of the USA's idiocy about the 'dangers of socialism'. He will push and push to help all his various useful tools, like Tulsi and Stein, until he turns on them to ensure a Trump win. At the end, he has his guy in the White House who is too stupid to realize what's going on, and Americans are at each other's throats.
This is what happened in 2016. Russian bots amplified all this Dem against Dem stuff so that tens of thousands of Americans voted for Stein and millions stayed home.
Right now, Trump Jr and Eric and various other outlets are pushing and pushing this narrative about how the Democratic party is against Bernie, and that the system is rigged. I actually think the US needs a complete overhaul...I favor Warren...and I think the Democratic party is clearly against Bernie, with the biggest reason being that Bernie will lose against Trump. Forget the polling. Just think about what the polling will look like after months and months of ads showing Bernie's old interviews and parties in Russia.
I will vote Blue in the general no matter what. Trump is Mussolini, and the lawless GOP is destroying this country. The lawless GOP has Putin on their side, helping us destroy ourselves.

- allthething, the world is a complicated place, there are lots of agendas on all sides.yuekit
- You're telling me you know for a fact that Sanders will lose even though he's currently leading him in 90% of the polls and Trump has never cracked 50%?yuekit
- American elections are always extremely close, if it's like last time it will come down to motivating a few hundred thousand people in a few Midwestern states.yuekit
- Yes Sanders saying nice things about socialist governments in the 80s could hurt him. But you have to balance that against the fact that people are extremelyyuekit
- fed up with mainstream politicians and willing to filter out a lot of noise (as they did with Trump). Many people are also struggling in spite of the "goodyuekit
- economy" and barely have a few hundred dollars in the bank, are drowning in debt and can't afford to see a doctor. Sanders has an answer to that in a way thatyuekit
- Trump and the other Dem candidates don't.yuekit
- As far as Russia goes, yes they will try to exploit divisions in American society and boost candidates on the fringes. Doesn't mean they are omniscient oryuekit
- behind every thing that happens in the world. Look at Russia itself, it's a mess. And even by helping elect Trump, it's unclear how well that really turned outyuekit
- for them. Certainly trying to topple the governments of Iran and Venezuela is not on the list of things Putin wants.yuekit
- I think a more realist way of looking at it is that Russia is one factor among many. It does have some influence, but its power has also been exaggerated byyuekit
- certain people within the U.S. who don't want any deviation from establishment foreign policy and economics.yuekit

I don't care much for the freak show of candidates the Dems are selling, but I don't think any of you anti-Trumpers have digested what just happened yesterday. This 103 year old process plus the rampant corruption inside the Democrat party, and I'm talking" rotten to the core, destroyed the party. the Dems the looser of losers. It even makes PT so normal, almost boring. Who is controlling the strings for the Dems???
- The caucus isn't over,there could be an even bigger cluster F. Butti is making a victory lap rn but if the other 39% is counted and Bernie wins. It's over.robotron3k
