CLEAR LAKE, Iowa — There was a moment of silence, friendly candidate-to-candidate photo bombs, even an extended exchange of hugs between candidates.

On Friday, the same crowd of 2020 Democrats that ripped each other apart on the national debate stage in Detroit transformed into a paragon of “Iowa nice” at the Wing Ding — making their best pitches to potential Iowa caucus-goers without eviscerating each other.

Instead, the 22 candidates unloaded on President Donald Trump in a parade of speeches that framed the fight for the White House as a battle against hate and bigotry. Invoking last weekend's mass shootings, they joined in calling for stronger gun laws. And they called for different approach to immigration.

The event came as the primary season in the first-in-the-nation voting state kicked into high gear with start of the annual state fair. The enthusiasm of voters was palpable: thousands packed into the historic venue, which at times grew so loud that speakers had to yell to be heard.

Nothing pro-American or policy based.

Bankrupt.

If the Dems have no agenda that will win over voters, then they will attack somebody, anybody, even fabricate lies.

[CLEAR LAKE, Iowa]

First thing I thought of was Buddy Holly.

Since I don’t read much about “Clear Lake, Iowa” that is.

2 take-ways from this article:
1. There were less than 2000 people there (proof: no pictures).
2. The crowd shouted out awful things (proof: no account given of what the crowd shouted.

See? Politico ieasy to read...

It was a huge deal at the time. I was a sophomore at the U of Iowa and there was a pall over the whole campus.

",,,fight for the White House as a battle against hate and bigotry"

Hating and bigoting on Trump is NOT a good look for those claiming to be against Hating and Bigoting.

The Democratic model for universal health care just came tumbling down. Have you seen this::

I’m sure there was a rowdy crowd there. Clear Lakes is a big party place in the summer.

Just read the attached article about who funded the rise of Kamala Harris. even talks about being Little Willie Brown’s paramour while he was still married but estranged from his wife for many years.

Harris is a political money whore, nothing less, nothing more, and despite what Herb Caen said, she is not “black” though she tries to portray herself as such.

My view of her is that she’d blow a goat if it got her a vote.

Dangerous woman, like Eva Peron or Chiang Ching (Mao’s murderous wife).
