Democratic Primaries: Joe Biden Says He Isn't Backing Down After Poor Iowa Performance ,,Go Joe...😎

Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he isn’t giving up after partial results from the Iowa caucus show him in fourth place.

“I am not going to sugarcoat it: We took a gut punch in Iowa. The whole process was a gut punch,” Biden said at a rally in New Hampshire. “This isn’t the first time in my life that I’ve been knocked down



There are an awful lot of folks out there who wrote off this campaign...They’ve been trying to do that from the moment I entered the race. Well, I’ve got news for them. I’m not going anywhere,” he continued.

And Here We Are Not backing Down Either..

I do remember Bill Clinton got about 3% in the Iowa caucus he did fairly poorly in New Hampshire as I recall
He still went on to win the nomination. The media has painted Joe as lost cause ..I believe what my heart says. Go Joe









If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

Your a great supporter of Joe's and not afraid to speak up. When the other side is wrong...
And that app was a little fishy to me...Joe was in second place in Iowa then drops down to fourth...❓❓

have been waxing Clarence Darrow, leveling arguments for Joe’s premature death that might be iron-clad if based on reality, not Silver, or any common sense and knowledge about those ten states after NH.

“Biden supporters” are busy all over the net throwing in the towel, backed by Nate Silver’s strange numbers, explaining at length why it is now utterly impossible for Biden to prevail, ironically, despite Silver’s own polls predicting he leads in them. Of course Silver has now come up with new projections, willy-nilly taking away and re-assigning numbers like the hand of God himself.

Based on one little white state’s results and projections for the other, media, Sanders and Buttigieg supporters—along with Biden’s fair weather friends—seem eager to stop him from getting to the states he would win, getting to them without both hands tied behind his back, getting to them at all.

Some give him a stay until N.H. Some can’t wait that long. They set the bar at a mind-blowing debate performance, because Iowa results trigger the need of a miracle, or he’s deader than they have already pronounced him to be.

Some of us are genuine Biden supporters and we know bs when we see it. We will step up our contributions, try to stop the unreasonable spread of panic with actual facts, not fudged figures, and although we know NH, especially in light of the post-Iowa propaganda ,won’t play to Biden’s strengths, we also know its results should not stand in for our entire nation, across which Biden is still the candidate with the most wide appeal, the one who can gather votes for the largest tent, not the smaller size AOC finds more comfortable, but a big old one—roomy enough for the political spectrum and the racial diversity that represents, not just a wing, not only a set of policies, not even registered Democrats alone, but the whole of America.

You go, Joe! America and the world need you.

I cant believe some of Joe supporters are giving up by this. Almost sounds like Conspiracy of a sort. like 2016 again...

The app was not working. I question what really happen. Just as you said, poll numbers all over up and down. Who is playing with poll numbers .mmm

for a Biden for months, would just as vigorously mount fully polished arguments for abandoning
support after one tiny white state’s results, now trying to persuade that a fraction of delegates awarded demands a new candidacy date and solidifies all detractors’ past present objections to Joe.

Not to many here, just enough, fully familiar with opposing arguments, using them and Iowa results to frame their overnight reversal. Joe, according to these stalwarts, is not only fatally wounded, but has already died.

Former friends and constant foes alike are now performing an autopsy on the candidate and his campaign.

I doubt DU is the only platform in use. Not enough numbers here, but well we and they know where MSM get its ideas and the exponential power of multiple sites.

Trump was never going to stop at Burisma or confine his psych ops to Ukraine.
