Mayor Pete Buttigieg is winning the botched Iowa caucuses as of this writing. He has yet to say how he will redistribute those points to his fellow candidates equitably and not based on merit. It was a come from behind win.
My guess is that if Bernie ultimately wins, he will not give many to Elizabeth Warren, with whom he is at war. She refused to shake his hand at the last debate, calling him a misogynist and a liar. CNN tapes of their exchange show Warren refusing to shake Sanders’ hand after the debate, or perhaps refusing to pull his finger; it’s hard to say. But either way, the two are not talking and hate each other. They are trying so hard to act like they are not enemies that their Secret Service names were changed to “Bill” and “Hillary.”
Fauxcahontas told him she “takes back all the good things she said about him.” Bernie should have called her an “Indian giver,” but there is no humor on the left. For Dems these days, being offended is a full-time job.
Finishing in a solid second place appears to be Bernie Sanders. At his age, Bernie is happy with a solid #2.
Joe Biden campaigned saying he has the answers on how to fix America. Odd that he never enlightened Obama with the super-secret ideas he hatched. “Fix America”? How about you fix the Iowa Democrat Party caucus vote-counting machine, sold to them by Hillary Clinton’s folks? This from the party that spent $5 billion on an Obamacare website that didn’t work. And they want us to give them more and more control over us?
Joe even has a plan on the Corona-virus. When asked what he’d do, Joe said he’d suggest Americans only drink domestic beer until this thing blows over, and certainly not to use limes. He fears lime disease too.
Joe Biden had the campaigning edge for the last few weeks as Senators Warren, Sanders and Klobuchar were held captive in the Schiff-Show impeachment trial. Now they know how our Iranian hostages felt.
Alas, all the “overwhelming evidence” Adam Schiff says he has on Trump never materialized. But Sanders and Warren assure us that there is more proof and that Schiff is hard at work making it up right now.
Using corn (Elizabeth Warren calls it maize), Iowa Republicans brewed up a batch of commemorative corn liquor in honor of the impeachment hearings. It is zero proof.
It was astounding to watch Democrats like Schiff misuse Founding Fathers’ quotes to justify their partisan charade. I guess since Dems watched “Hamilton” on Broadway with $1500 lobbyist-paid tickets, they are all about the Federalist Papers now.
Little Schiff-head quoted Hamilton (the Founder, not the actor) to justify impeachment: “When a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents, having the advantage of military habits—despotic in his ordinary demeanour—known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty—when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity…to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion—to flatter and fall in with all the nonsense of the zealots of the day—It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.”
Yep, this is an odd and sudden love affair with our Founders. Dems actually think Hamilton rapped that quote; they quote the Founders when they need ‘em. No mention of the fact that these same Founders would have bought Corey Booker and sold him to another plantation if the money was right.
The Democrat Party (you know, the one of “diversity”) has no black candidates left. The field is now so white it looks like a Jimmy Buffett concert. This allows Elizabeth Warren to claim, without any fear of questions from the leftist mainstream media, that she is the only African-American running for President left.
The field is so weak that John Kerry and Hillary Clinton continue to make noise like they might get in the race. Trump would love a rematch with Hillary. She has all the unlikability of Warren, the ideas of Bernie Sanders and the honesty of Adam Schiff. If she gets in the race, just to make it fun Trump should have a side bet with her. Whoever loses has to admit ordering the “suicide” of Jeffrey Epstein.
