Like I said...completely fake news. None of that is true - just because the Fake News repeats it as if it is gospel, does not make it so.


Try to think for yourself my friend, instead of believing the myriad of lies Fake News feeds you daily.

Buttigeig is about as exciting as drying paint. Zero charisma.

All the Democrats are running on:

Identity Politics.

Social Engineering, and wealth/income redistribution policies based on Identity Politics.

Globalism/Amnesty (Open Borders)

That's basically it.

Agree, this best describes him. You're either for him or you dont exist, there's no middle ground with him.

Sanders, Gabbard and maybe Warren.

EDIT: Also Gravel.

(so actually 3 or 4 candidates)

And yet his support among Hispanics and blacks is higher than any republican in long time.

Like I said, Fake News.

We are still 21 months out from the Iowa primary, so only a nitwit would expect this poll to have a high predictive reliability, but in the latest Iowa Starting Line/Change Research Poll, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are now tied at 24% each:

Biden, Sanders Locked In Iowa Tie

Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are locked in a tie in Iowa atop the large field of Democrats running for the presidential nomination. An Iowa Starting Line/Change Research Poll of 615 likely Democratic caucus-goers that was conducted this past week, May 15 to May 19, found both Biden and Sanders garnering 24% among the Democratic candidates. The poll’s margin of error is +/- 3.9%.

Three contenders trailed the leaders with healthy percentages of support: Pete Buttigieg at 14%, Elizabeth Warren at 12%, and Kamala Harris at 10%. Beto O’Rourke came in at 5%, while Amy Klobuchar and Andrew Yang both had 2%. Everyone else polled at 1% or less.

Get your seat-belts on ladies and gentlemen. It could be that we have a contest here after all. If Bernie Sanders somehow figures out a way to win in Iowa, the first primary, then that will change the voting patterns in the primaries after that. And then who knows how this might turn out.

How is the early state of the Democrat primary contest affecting public perception?

57% Believe Trump Likely to Win in 2020… Up From 54% a Month Ago, 46% in February

As discussed earlier in this thread, the numbers on these sorts of polls are fluid and are not determinative of what public perception will be a year or 18 months from now. But can we safely say that people are not exactly blown away by the impressiveness of the presidential primary field for the Democrats at this stage?

And is there anyone left for the Democrats still on the sidelines who could still ride in and save the day?
