Tired of all this WINNING yet? – All major stock indexes – the Dow, the NASDAQ and the S&P 500 – closed a record highs on Thursday yet again as the Trump economy keeps chugging along. Wednesday’s ADP private sector jobs report for January came in at a whopping 291,000 jobs added, almost doubling “expert” projections of 150,000. That news, of course, was ignored by our corrupt national news media. The Labor Department non-farm jobs report comes out this morning.
The Commie declares “victory” in Iowa. – Why? Because he won. At least, he won by any rational measure. That measure would be the actual number of people who came out and cast their first round and second round lots with the old Bolshevik.
The Commie won the first round of voting by more than 6,000 over second place Preacher Pete, and then, after the non-viable candidates were eliminated and their voters had to either re-pledge themselves to other candidates or go home, The Commie won the second round by a more narrow margin. It was then and only then that the “counters” from the DNC running the Iowa process were able to rig a miniscule “win” for Preacher Pete, somehow managing through an allocation process no one understands to award 26.2% of the state delegates to the failed Mayor of South Ben to 26.1% for the do-nothing Senator from Vermont.
Tom Perez, the utterly corrupt head of the DNC, was so upset by Sanders’ victory declaration that he immediately ordered his toadies out in Iowa to re-canvass the vote. He does that not on the belief that it would somehow change any of the confused outcome, but in order to throw even more confusion into the process in order to further obscure Sanders’ clear win.
Because, hey, if they can’t rig the outcome they prefer, the next best thing is to coordinate with their media toadies to confuse the public about who really won. This is your Democrat Party in action. It’s all very transparent if you just pay attention.
But all this confusion over who “won” in Iowa kind of misses the point, anyway. There were two big stories coming out of that fiasco, both of them terrible news for the Democrats and the DNC:
Total voter turnout was somewhere around 170,000, which puts it in line with the Democrat turnout in Iowa for 2012, when Barack Hussein Obama His Own Self was running unopposed. Party officials had speculated that turnout would compare to the 2008 turnout, when almost 240,000 Iowans showed up to pick between Obama and the Fainting Felon. This low turnout number indicates a party headed for a sea-change loss election in November. Thus, it has been largely ignored by the corrupt news media. Joe Biden is in free-fall now. He failed to win a single county or a single national delegate under the party’s Byzantine formula for allocation of delegates, even though he did receive slightly above 15% of the vote, at least if you believe the DNC “counters,” which you should not. This is terrible news for the DNC and the party’s major donor base, who had held out hope that Biden would be able to stave off The Commie. Biden’s numbers are also now collapsing in other early primary states. In the two most recent polls out of New Hampshire, he comes in at just 11%, not even half of The Commie’s level of support. In South Carolina, where Biden has consistently held a 25-30% margin thanks to heavy support in that state’s Black community, a new Zogby Analytics poll shows his lead sitting at just 8% over The Commie. A recent Post and Courier poll pegs his lead at just 5%. Polls show Quid Pro Joe and The Commie running neck and neck in Nevada, the only other contest before Super Tuesday.
Right now it appears likely that Biden will run no better than a poor 4th place in New Hampshire, and probably will not win any delegates there, either. That from the guy that the DNC has promoted for 10 solid months as its most “electable” candidate. If the bottom falls out up there, then it seems possible now that the Unfrozen Caveman Senator could even lose in South Carolina and go into Super Tuesday without having won a single contest. If that happens, he is well and truly done.
Biden’s problem is simple: He is clearly too old and infirm for the job. That is obvious to anyone who actually pays attention to him. While Sanders is a little bit older than Quid Pro Joe, he at least is holding things together, despite his heart incident last October. But Biden often doesn’t know where he is on any given day, and increasingly looks lost while speaking to his paltry audiences.
He was able to get away with all of that up until voters actually began paying attention to the race, which has really just begun to happen over the last few weeks, as the caucus and primary contests approach. Voters are now tuning in, and what they see in Biden obviously disturbs them.
The reality of Biden – as opposed to the myth of “electability” that he and the DNC have promoted since last April – combined with the months-long headlines about his and Hunter Biden’s looting of the Ukraine while he served as Vice President, is why his numbers are in free-fall.
A reader asked yesterday if Biden would turn out to be this election cycle’s Jeb! Bush. I replied that he already is, but he just hasn’t quite figured it out yet. Jeb! himself didn’t figure it out until it was already over for him. Biden will, however, figure it out soon, perhaps after a loss in South Carolina, or no later than what will almost certainly become a disastrous showing on Super Tuesday.
My new odds for the Eventual Winner of the Democrat Party’s Nomination:
The Commie 7 to 4
Mini-Mike 4 to 1
Fauxcahontas 10 to 1
Preacher Pete 10 to 1
Quid Pro Joe 30 to 1
Tom Steyer 30 to 1
Someone Else 2 to 1
Who, you ask, is that Someone Else? Well, who do you think?
That is all.
“Someone Else 2 to 1”
Moochie or Cankels.
Well I just hope Joe stays healthy and doesn’t die. No doubt that Trump would be impeached for murder.
Moochie for sure.
Do you understand the 100% over the top positive coverage she would get from the MSM, hollywood etc.
the amount of suburban middle class women that would volunteer would be astounding
Little Mike v Big Mike at the brokered convention?
Great one!
The Dems won’t gamble with Michelle. She hasn’t shown anything on her own. If I had to guess, maybe John Kerry, as he’s talking about his heroism again...but who knows, Skunk Cabbage will DEFINITELY make a move, but I suspect she’ll be rejected.
Little Mike v Big Mike at the brokered convention?
...
Wouldn’t that be something to see them on the stage together without a box to stand on for Mini Mike?
Bob, you nailed it.

Kerry has been making noise about “rescuing” the Democrap Party
LOL!
I still think Plugs will be led off stage mumbling and stuttering about turning your record player on.
By Super Tuesday, the credible candidates will be Sanders, Bloomberg and Buttigieg. The core nominating nucleus in the Democratic Party are the left/progressives. Probably about 50% are non socialist liberals or “moderates”. In the heat of battle Bernie will probably win a plurality of most of the primaries. Buttigieg and Bloomberg will finish second and third in total delegates. While Bernie will go into Milwaukee having won most of the primaries and with the most delegates. However he probably will not have enough votes to win on the first ballot. Try to imagine the scene if the socialist and Bernie are denied. Doubt in the end they will be denied. Now try to vision the campaign in the Fall and the actual election in November. There might not be much left of the Democratic Party standing.
Or maybe even Mitt. ;o)
Someone else: Former Co-President HRC.
Looks good except for one quibble:
Fauxcahontas 10 to 1
Preacher Pete 10 to 1
I think Preacher has to get better odds now than Liar. I think Liar is in a tailspin. Not on a steep Biden tailspin, more like a wide, shallow tailspin... but a tailspin nonetheless.
Little Mike v Big Mike at the brokered convention?

Ok, I’m drawing a blank...
Big Mike...
Here we are in February of an election year and they're still hoping for a different alternative? This is not promising.
Of course! BIG Mike!
How could I forget?
