Bernie is in FOURTH PLACE! Jesus! Only 12 percent?? How humiliating! Not even viable.

Isn't there a MINIMUM of 15% needed to capture any delegates?

That's gonna leave a mark.

The obvious and open hostility and contempt toward the Democratic party isn't helping. Well, it may be something that's attractive to a handful of malcontents and "revolutionaries", but there just aren't enough of those voters to make a difference. Additionally, they tend to be young and among the least reliable voting bloc. Add to that, the fact that a large percentage of them take great personal pride in NOT being a declared member of the Democratic party, they have (in closed-primary states) chosen to be ineligible to participate in Democratic party business.

Oh well. Their choice. Not mine.

It establishes a voting and activist habit that will last a lifetime. Any candidate that excites them is fine by me.

It's better they back a candidate that doesn't win, even if they end up going 3rd party in the general, than never getting involved in all.

Because some day, they may be with us.

Were putting out videos of BERNIE'S MAJOR LEAD"

Guess they can blame this on Warren to?

when it became clear he wasn't going to get the nomination, instead of backing off to promote party unity, he intensified his attacks on Hillary and hardly lifted a finger to help us in the general election. Given how slim the margins were for trump's electoral victory was, I feel Bernie is in part responsible for trump's presidency. Many here will probably disagree with me, it's what I feel. This is why I can never support Bernie for the nomination. Should he somehow become our nominee, I'll of course vote for him,but that vote would be a vote against trump, not a vote for Bernie.

That why I would only support him if he wins the Democratic Party nomination.

A new Iowa poll has Joe Biden leading the Democratic presidential race in the first caucus state. The former vice president also placed as likely caucusgoers’ top second choice, putting him in a strong position with just two weeks to go until voters begin to choose their nominee.

Biden had the support of 24% of likely caucus-goers polled by Focus on Rural America, an Iowa group with Democratic ties that has been polling in the state since last year. Biden’s backing in the survey has been roughly stable since the group’s September poll, when he was at 25%. He is also the second choice of 24% of those surveyed, an important measure given that caucusgoers have the chance to choose a second candidate if their first choice gets below 15% at their caucus site on Feb. 3.


Elizabeth Warren was in second place at 19%, a 4-point drop from her showing in the previous poll. Pete Buttigieg was in third place at 16% and Bernie Sanders was in fourth at 12%. Amy Klobuchar, who’s staking her campaign on success in Iowa, was in fifth place at 11%. Buttigieg was the second most-popular second-choice candidate, with 21% of likely caucus-goers saying they’d support him if their first choice is not viable.

That’s quite a drop.
