The Des Moines Register and CNN announced Saturday night that they would not release their crucial Iowa poll, citing an error in which one candidate’s name was left out of polling questions.

Jonathan Martin of the New York Times tweeted that the candidate who was left out was former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg:

I went to Mediaite, but that dump has now started deleting posts and/or putting them at the bottom of the thread.

My wife says it’d delicious if Democrats wrote in “We want Trump”.

I doubt Hillary could stand Warren being the first genetic woman President. She also probably ain’t too thrilled with the prospects of Plugs doing what she couldn’t. Twice.

What’s an evil mastermind to do?

Either way, the Democrats are toast. Bernie wins the grass roots, super delegates say no, open revolt. Anyone else, open revolt. Either way, civil war.

Bullcrap. Bernie is going to win going away. Watch fat boy Michael Moore’s speech there. The guy knows the democrat pulse. And the middle of the country in general. Remember his speech before trumps election

My guess is Bernie crushed their poll.

Or it could be they’re trying to hide how poorly Sleepy J is doing. Perhaps he has slipped to 3rd or even 4th place.

That’s what Labour did in Britain with Corbyn, and we saw the results. Labour has lost the working class, which was their core constituency for decades.

Just as with the Democrats here.

Here's how I read it:
  1. It's clear that Bernie was well ahead in the poll and the DNC needed/wanted to hide it. So the DNC said 'spike the poll.'
  2. Doesn't matter whether it works or not because there are two outcomes: The dems screw Bernie which cause a 3rd party in the near future, or Bernie wins the primary, gets decimated in the general, and THAT causes a 3rd party. (I suppose a so called 'sane dem' like Biden or Mini Mike could win and the dems could make it look legit, or it could be mostly legit, which only delays what's below.
  3. Of COURSE the Bernie-Cortez wing doesn't think they can win the presidency in America, but America right now is about carving out a political niche and cashing in. Do you REALLY think Bernie cares about his voters? Do you REALLY think AOC cares about her voters? The answer is no. They are grifter fraudsters who will either have nothing by being 'the left wing of the dem party' or they can cut a piece of the pie for themselves and rule it. But they have to cut the pie. That is, they can't be part of the establishment dem pie to profit and take as much power as possible. These days, you get money and power by defining yourself as in all publicity is good publicity (See Rashida's Boo rant. Think that was an emotional mis-step/outburst? Nope. Planned.) So they are currently in the process of taking off the old team colors and putting on the colors of their new team. They will exit the dem tent sooner or later.

We'll see how this goes. But it looks to me like the loony leftiest left isn't that loony - they are just con artists. And these con artists need their own circus, so they are going to take 1/3 of the dem party and rule it. And get very rich and very powerful. It ain't the presidency, but they can either rule 1/6th of America, or rule 1/30th if they stay in the party. If I'm a con artist, and they are, and I'm sitting where they are, having conned 15% or 20% of the country ... I'm getting my own TV show, writing the script, collecting all the money, no longer just playing the token socialist segment on the long running series. And I am going to get very very rich and powerful. Who wants the responsibility of seeing your policies fail? (This is how the Palestinian leadership plays it by the way - no peace ever, no matter what, that would ruin the con game.) Why not just get rich and powerful advocating for and agitating the chronically irritable and never getting proven wrong, always and forever the victim? It's a great schtick, if you don't care about people. Bernie and AOC are sociopath con artists though and through. Not a second goes by where they feel shame. Snakes bite without a second thought or even a first one. It's what they are. Scorpions sting - no thought nor consideration. No malice even - that's the key. Cons Con. They don't think 'should I con? Is this morally right?'... and then lose the ethical war inside them because of the temptation of money and power. There is no ethical war. When I want a glass of water I get up, get a glass, fill it, drink it. That is the level at which these people operate, and why they can seem so convincing to those who've never seen a con from beginning to end.

They don't think like you or I do! That is their magic trick, that's why it works. That's why it's always worked ... for thousands of years.

If Bernie and AOC were to saddle up at the political bar at the Overlook, the bartender would say 'you've always been here.'

That's how I read it baby!
