I do think Bernie WILL carry Iowa:

But therefore, I am afraid corpmedia and their TeamClinton/DNC allies won't let him claim his deserved victory.

Anyone sharing the same worries, here?

Note: I am currently listening to the news while working online, and even French media are gone under pro-Hillary propaganda. Their turn-around today's slogan is " Bernie can't gather people"!

"corpmedia and their TeamClinton/DNC allies won't let him claim his deserved victory"

Can you clarify?

Do you mean that Bernie will win, but there will be some election fraud?

Do you mean that Bernie will win, but the media will call it a minor victory?

Do you mean that Bernie will win, but the media won't cover it in any great length?

Do you mean that Bernie will win, but the media will say that it doesn't really matter?

I really don't understand which of these you mean. Could you clarify?

If Clinton wins we will know immediately. If Bernie is in the lead the Microsoft cloud system tallying the votes will have a malfunction and they will say we may not know for days or weeks who won. Can't provide negative media for Clinton.

As in, if Bernie loses it was Microsoft's pro Hillary shenanigans at work.

Have already seen a few of those trial balloon posts on DU in the last week regarding the app.

you see, it can't be because more people turned out to support Hillary and she won fair and square. That's not possible, so blame needs to be predetermined.

Make no mistake though - it will be huge when Bernie wins tonight. No amount of downplaying by Clinton or the media will matter as Bernie then moves on to win New Hampshire.

Fun fact: No candidate in history (Democratic or Republican) has won both Iowa and New Hampshire and lost their party's nomination.

MOMENTUM. Bernie has it, and it's going to grow exponentially after tonight!
