Getting real in Iowa

"Iowa Democrats are displaying far less passion for Hillary Clinton than for Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont three weeks before the presidential caucuses, creating anxiety inside the Clinton campaign as she scrambles to energize supporters and to court wavering voters.

The enthusiasm gap spilled abundantly into view in recent days, from the cheering crowds and emotional outpourings that greeted Mr. Sanders, and in interviews with more than 50 Iowans at campaign stops for both candidates. …"

It’s extremely telling how consistently different the results of votes are from the polls out there. The antiquated, hobbled mainstream polls the establishment media continues to trumpet (that pundits and naysayers parrot) are showing their skewed flaws for all who bother to just look.

Bernie Sanders can win against Hillary and he’ll certainly take the White House afterwards.

The naysayers don’t understand just how flawed these polls are for 2015 and 2016.

When the actual votes are counted, there’s going to be a lot of confused people who should have taken a closer look at the flawed, mainstream polling methodologies they previously took as gospel.

While some don’t believe that Bernie is socialist enough to free america from corporate rule, I still believe that he’s only a small part of the socialist movement; hell, I believe with the Republicans being brought out, the 2020 election will pit the Democrats against the Socialist Party.

Nationally, it’s getting progressively worse for Clinton over time as well. That downfall will go into overdrive after she loses both Iowa and New Hampshire.

Fortitude and tenacity will win this. Fortunately, a huge amount of the grassroots supporters and activists that support Bernie Sanders are in this for the long haul and won’t be dissuaded by corporate media narratives and temporary setbacks.

That’s why it’s getting even worse for Clinton as we speak:

Wow, how unbearably lame of him. As a doctor the lobbting for a health care firm is one thing, trying to burst Bernie’s bubble is another thing entirely.

Jesus. I kind of liked Dean in 2004. Now he, apparently wants to back us into a “Is he stupid or evil?” corner.
