No dog in this fight and I don't get to vote in the Iowa Caucus.  Just curious how you see it.
Who might come out of this on top.
(Notice, I didn't ask who you wanted President Trump to face.)

On the one hand I agree.....

...on the other hand, keep in mind many of those on the other side were pulling for Trump because there was no way in hell he'd win the general election.....

...so be careful what you wish for.

Agreed, I believe Trump would chew up and spit out both Warren and Sanders.   But, I said I thought Sanders Biden will win the caucus but, I may be looking more from a nation wide view point verses a Iowan's perspective.   This caucus will be the beginning of the end for some of the candidates.

It doesn’t matter which one wins. Trump wins in a landslide in November. But,  the ones that are going to run next time need to cement their following. That’s the only value in any of them continuing. Sanders will be too old and feeble by 2024 and Biden won’t know his own name if his dementia continues at its current rate.

Sanders is a self loathing Jew.

he is Not a friend of Israel or the Jewish people


Check his voting record  He is a communist disguised as a socialist

He is a mean spirited man who speaks about income equality while he has at least three very large homes  I do not trust him because of his birth religion just as I do not trust Bloomberg.

Look at all the well meaning black folks who got f'd over by Obama because he was "half black"
Our cities were all worse off under him

Vote based on what the man has done not some pie in the sky promise that will never happen

Trump, like him or not has put more people to work than anyone, is America first, is a friend of Israel, supoorts the 2nd amendment of our constitution, the military and our law enforcement.
That works for me

Was told today that HRC's friend own's the company that did the software reporting.   My guess is, HRC got the early returns first and somehow screwed up the reporting.   

No, I don't trust her any farther than I could spit.

Now I heard that the 3rd cousin of someone that use to work in the justice department said that President Trump asked Putin to interfere with the app development. I think there's a book in the works and that Pelosi is trying to get the manuscript into the hands of the mainstream media before the SOTU.

Actually, this is what I heard being reported: 
Her 2016 campaign manager, Robby Mook was a "consultant" to the people in Iowa that created the "app" that failed spectacularly.

Regardless of where the Chiefs are located, the Iowa Caucus Debacle has definitely lost some of it's luster and maybe it's supposed importance in the national limelight.   Not all Iowa's fault, it also appears the DNC has no idea how to handle the multitude of candidates and appears to be changing the rules to allow a late entry who just happens to be a billionaire.   If I was one of the Dem candidates or one of their supporters, I'd be pissed.

Who says money doesn't speak volumes...……..   The DNC puts on a better show than the Ringling Brothers ever thought about.   Of course, they also failed.

It all makes perfect sense—once you realized that the software was only a secondary concern for the people involved. Max Blumenthal reports that Shadow Inc, the software company that produced the app, had ties to the Buttigieg campaign both as a contractor and (through its top funder) as a donor. ( “Shadow Inc”? Really? Were all the best evil names taken, like “Spectre” and “Hydra?”)
Shadow Inc’s website says that its employees are veterans of the Clinton and Obama campaigns, as well as the DNC—although, like the Men in Black, it refuses to identify its operatives by name. This reinforces the sense of an insider clique with an interest in the caucus results, rather than a team of the most qualified tech experts.
Quote
I keep hearing that many of the people involved in these deals are good folks: nice, decent, friendly, likable. I don’t doubt it. You can be all those things and still be part of a culture with misguided priorities and broken values. But the longer you’re part of that culture, the more likely you are to lose sight of your own basic values—or, worse, to delude yourself into thinking you’re still living by them.
Nice or not, they take care of their own. What else explains Iowa’s hiring of Robby Mook, the manager of Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 campaign, as a cyber security consultant? Mook is widely considered one of the nice guys (I’ve never met him). But his flawed data analysis is seen as playing a major role in her loss. Later, he even misattributed the actions of Macedonian teenagers to Russian government operatives. That doesn’t suggest an excess of cybersecurity talent.
That, too, is secondary. The party establishment runs itself as a private fiefdom, one whose primary purpose is to take care of its centrist allies.  Think of it as a Jobs Guarantee for people who are against a Jobs Guarantee for anyone else.
