Any thinking person can see Alfred E. Newman is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

If they can’t reproduce they must recruit.

So Buttigieg doesn't have any better sense than Sanders does???

Just what the Democrat Party needs! The sooner that organization is dumped into the garbage-pile of history, the better!

So Alfred thinks Sanders is about to get an insurmountable lead?

The grammar/structure of his tweet made it unclear to me.

Amy will probably suspend her campaign soon, I suspect Pete will be close to last in S.C so he might make it to Super Tuesday but for all intent and purposes he’s through.

If he shares the same ideals, why should anybody vote for the fake Socialist when they have the Real Deal?

“I have a different approach” is pretty weak sauce.

Plus, nobody believes anything Pete Buttigieg says.

Everybody pretty much figures he will say whatever he needs to say in any given situation. There is not underlying principle that he is willing to share, if there is one at all.

At least Sanders doesn’t go around telling Christians they are bad Christians if they don’t think that homosexuality is great like St. Pete does.

Poor Mayor Pete. He thought he could win by saying that he was the “real” Democrat - that Democrats weren’t billionaires (Bloomberg) or Socialists (Sanders). He learned real quick that Dems ARE Socialists. Now he’s tap dancing around how to attach Sanders - now he SHARES Sanders’ values but its just a question of message. LOL. That’s the message of a candidate who is floundering around, going down for the last time.

Mayor Pete is their Marco Rubio.

He's young! He's articulate! He's good looking!

He will hang on far past his Sell By Date, because he will figure that his advantage of youth, slickness, and looks will be just on the cusp of turning the tide. This will go on for a long, long time.

It’s like he’s pandering to the Sanders base, saying, “I’m Berrnie except I’m not a sickly old codger.”

Admits he shares the same ideals. Another socialist communist. Give him credit for the admission. Are they all going to try and align themselves with Bernie to legitimize them to Bernie’s supporters when they knock Bernie off—literally or figuratively.

I live near Reno, Nevada.

Media has stated that nearly 75,000 ‘voted early’ and another 25,000 voted on Saturday, in a poor turnout.

Today, at 5:30 AM, the local ABC affiliate gave these numbers out with ‘95%’ reporting.:

Bernie 6589
Biden 2872
Pete B 1960
Warren 1381
Steyer 652
Klobachar 595 I may have these 2 reversed-fast writing
Others 10\

These numbers add up to 14,059 votes

OUT OF 100,000 ?????? “95%” reporting????

It is over 36 hours since the ‘caucuses’ closed!!!

I have spent my adult life in accounting -— and I don’t understand this at all.

Can anyone explain???

Sanders just might push solid blue Miami-Dade into Trump’s column in 2020. Ha ha.

Hurry up, if you don’t vote for me the guy with the same end goal as me will win. He must be stopped! Completely incoherent like the rest of his ramblings.
