Whether you want to believe it or not...from a pretty smart guy commenting on Sundance’s thread...:
===>
Clinton and Bloomberg are longtime friends. Steyer is a Podesta friend/Clinton ally. Clinton’s people are on the convention committee (including Podesta).
Bloomberg’s campaign, like Biden’s, is a proxy, just in a different way. He’s already pledged to spend the money, whomever the nominee will be, and I think it’s because he’s never planned to be the one. That Clinton getting in (or winning) seems so, utterly fantastical does not make it less true: the play here is Clinton.
In a planted Op-Ed in The Hill, she’s already been floated as VEEP to add “gravitas” to the ticket, and was quoted as being excited to jump on board with whomever gets the nomination (really? Clinton excited to run as #2? No one buys it … it’s seeding the concept.)
Chaos is also the best, if not the necessary state-of-play for Clinton to parachute in. First as VEEP — a stabilizing force. Then it’s just a re-shuffle to put her at the top of the ticket. VEEP probably then goes to Warren, thinking it placates the “progressive” wing (it won’t).
Bloomberg has no real pitch on the democrat side (neither did Biden) and he has the feel of a pop-up candidate. His “constituency” is pure donor class and astroturf. Hillary has a narrow band of dead-enders and a pitch: I beat Trump once in the popular vote, I can do it again, and I’m eager to settle the score.
What really matters is she still owns the party. That’s how she got her people on the convention committee, which only matters if there’s going to be a need to control it. She’ll take it in broad daylight, with Bernie people (and others) eyes wide open. Clintons and the DNC don’t care. That’s what narrative engineering is for.
I’ve been telling my family this for months. After tonight, I finally won a convert. And she’s PISSED. A long way to go yet, but this might turn out to be that moment that once you see, you can’t unsee.
Who let this 'journalist' actually write this driveling material?
Any opponent worth their salt will use this material to point out the utter incompetence of the Democrat party as a broken and flawed institution... Regardless of whether they are winning, losing or being anointed. And if this sort of foolishness keeps up... Trump will be anointed.
What if Trump won the DEMOCRATS IOWA CAUCUS?
Even worse. These are the people that want to run our voting system!
The Iowa Caucus didn’t kill itself.
Any Caucus is a socialist travesty. Everyone should know who they want. One man(woman) one vote. what drugs were they on when they came up with Caucuses.
As opposed to the governing institutions which will proclaim them lullabies and keep on keepin on with their kleptocracy.
What does it mean to “erode distrust”?
CNN cracks me up.
“they’re (republicans) are trying to create a narrative..).
THAT IS ALL CNN DOES 24/7/365. IT’S WHAT THEY DO!!!!
Has Clinton stink all over it.
The only winner in Iowa was Donald J Trump. Trump won the whole thing!!!!
And there are actually Americans who want this political train wreck to be running the USA.
I love the first sentence.
Hah ha!
CNN knows this HOW???
Show me these 'dirty tricks'; don't just allude to some.

These are the same developers that are going to write the Medicare For All' App.
lol
“and that’s CNN reporting”
my first thought as well ... i bet they agonized for hours over how to spin this for the Dems, but finally were forced to just give up and report the truth ... and surely, reporting the truth must have galled them to no end ...
