  1. Biden departed for his afternoon nap; he’ll be back in a few hours, or longer.  The guy is asleep at the switch.  I like older folks, maybe because I’m old but Biden does not seem to even know where he is or to whom he is talking.  Like Nancy, maybe his wife will run things.

  2. Pat looks like you were worried about the wrong state, From South Carolina

    A group of prominent Upstate Republicans are preparing to launch a wide-scale effort this week to encourage GOP voters across South Carolina to vote for U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Feb. 29 Democratic primary, The Post and Courier has learned.

    This is exactly the nonsense the Bernie cult pulled in Iowa. 

    Pilar, I agree that Joe is simply too old for the job 

    I loath Bernie only slightly less that I deplore Trump

     

     

  4. I truly like Joe Biden, ever since I covered his first presidential campaign, and I don’t fully understand his problem. But he needs to finally give up this quest. Couldn’t be sorrier to say that. 

  5. Iowa is as irrelevant as it was, last night, except for Pete, if results hold.
     
    Get ready for the craziest primary since 2016.  Chaos benefits Bloomberg and Sanders.

    Good riddance to an undemocratic process to start the election for an increasingly powerful executive branch, btw.

  6. Craig, I like Biden too. The problem is that every time I watch him give a speech or in a debate – he just looks a bit addled. If I see that, others have to be seeing it as well. 
    Dems are kinda screwed since Warren and Sanders are too far left for the voting public in general and Pete hasn’t the resume. 
    That leaves Bloomberg. A billionaire trying to buy an election. This one may truly rely on the VP pick. 

  9. Now I understand why Warren would’ve on a Bloomberg ticket, but would she accept?   Kamala Harris gets under Donald’s orange peel as much as Warren.

  10. Mike might just do it & everyone hates Trumpsky and Pooh-tin enough to not split  the vote this time.  

  11. Thanks Jamie!  Heard the talk host over at EIB announced he has advanced lung cancer. Can’t get that video of him making fun of the reporter with Parkinson’s out of my mind. 

  12. I’m glad Liz has some delegates on the board, at least.  The journey of 1000 miles…
     
    Poor Amy.  She put her heart and soul into Iowa.

  13. Back in 2015 when we thought Warren might run I interviewed Harry Reid, who actually recruited her (and Obama) to run for the Senate. Still have my notes. He said, “Make no mistake. She is a pragmatist.” Interestingly, in that same interview he refused any comment about Sanders. 

  14. Sanders is pulling his same crap of pulling Republicans in to an open primary.  Whoever is on top of the ticket, Harris needs to be there to attract that big block.  

    Even though commentators keep not showing Amy 

    With only 62% in it stands at

    Buttigieg 27%

    Sanders 25%

    Warren 18%

    Biden 16%

    Klobuchar  13%

    and all of the above is still “too close to call”

    Welcome, hope you are hanging in with all the fast paced posts today. Don’t be afraid,  just do like the rest of us wade in and give your opinion. We are mostly friendly.
    Also, good to see you again Pilar and divatale300
    Nothing like a good knockdown dragout brawl to get peoples attention

  17. I don’t count Amy out yet.  I am thinking that Iowa is one of those expensive road side attractions you are suckered into going to.  You pay your fifty dollars to see the three legged monkey and all there is sitting there is a sock monkey with an extra sock sewn on it.  Hopefully after this fiasco it will be moved to the former I-70 route and left to slumber in peace.
     
    It has to be emphasized that Iowa has an open caucus.  You do not enter it on party, you go without party.  There is so much stink about greedy old perverts going in to support the not Democratic Party member bernie, it has to be explored by the media.
     
    The shame is much of the Mid-West was Communist (that is the BIG C Communist) in the twenties and thirties.  The Dust Bowl times.  Farmers losing their farms.  They were not Socialists the way Sanders is.  They were Communist Party members.  Now they are looking at a person (no longer a man, little hands problem) who takes them for fools and is actively destroying their lives, and they cheer him on.  I have a hard time accepting they are supporting a Russian supporter who is not a Communist.

  21. If the early IA caucus goes own, there will be no possibility of an Amy, Kamala or Corey getting a party nomination ever again. The choices will then be between lepidus, crassus, and caesar. The victory of caesar leads to caligula, nero, and domitian.  Political parties are private non-profit corporations. If anyone, they belong to those who do the work. If the opinions of those workers are dissed, the parties will be replaced by wealthy conmen and their ad agencies or mega multinational corporations and their ad agencies. Remember, mega multinational corporations are persons, and their spending is free speech, even when it is anonymous for the sake of brand safety. The caucus is the last place where actuality (rather than tele-illusion, cyber-delusion and secret rulers) is still the rule. 

  22. Hi, Ms Cheryly. Good to meet you. I’m mostly harmless.  
     
    Hi, Mx S ! Good to read you, too.  
     
    It’s going to be a great, interesting, and mysterious year. We need all the brains we can collect here. Except gordo.

  23. A rotating series of caucuses in small but diverse places like MD, MI, NV and AL could be a great help to the parties : 1 Blue, 2 purples, and 1 red state. Unfortunately, there are no small W Coast states. 
    Geographically large states are too difficult and expensive for the candidates to  get around. 

  24. Harris was my first choice so if the nominee puts her on the ticket that’s fine.
    Same goes for Liz and Amy if they don’t win the nomination.
