Bernie Sanders (D-VT) to clinch second and third place, respectively, in the crucial state of Iowa, according to a new poll.

Good for her.

I have no idea if this new support is strong enough that she can build on it.

We shall see.

I expect the russkies will be along shortly to provide a boost, they can’t have him dropping this early in the season, before he could be a legitimate spoiler for the Dems.

What does “lapped” mean when describing a poll? Nothing, but I would think you’d have to at least double somebodies % if you “lapped” them.

Both candidates lapped Sanders,

It’s a circuit race?

her support nearly double from 7 percent to 16 percent

For all cases where “nearly” means “more than.”

Sanders, who finished fourth

Wow, the DNC is getting more and more blatant about stealing this primary.

Oh boy…what bullshit are we going to have to listen to from the mind of Sirota now? Bernie’s going to start yammering about the primary being rigged sooner rather than later I guess.

The survey polled 500 people who indicated they’d attend the Democratic caucus in Iowa

Wow, you have to hand it to the DNC, successfully getting 500 Iowan’s to conspire with them to bump Bernie down in the polls…

That is great news. Whatever Democrat wins the Dem primary I will support them 100%. All that matters is that they can beat Trump. That being said, I have always loved Harris. She is tough and smart. She will take it to the GOP.

“four out of 10 respondents indicated they thought he did worse during the debate than expected.”

I can see that. Joe does best when he’s speaking from the heart, not an overly careful and effete pandering script, but the latter seems to be what his campaign advisers are feeding him. He has to get that under control or there will be continued damage.

“It was the Russians, it was Comey!”

But you’ll swallow that whole, w/o a thought. I know, because it’s true.

Like Trump, Bernies whining is old. I say ignore him, let him collect more tribute from his cult and go build himself a new dacha.

Apparently, it’s actually Iowan’s for the moment…

Maybe of Russian extraction a few generations back? Would that make them Deep State?

Yea, part of the problem but he also has to be better prepared. If he was he would have better handled Harris when she was in attack mode.

Iowa?
Deep State?

I see a movie script. But you’d need aliens to keep it interesting.
