Feb 2020

I supported him in 2016, but lost some respect for him because of how he behaved at the end. I think the fame and the crowds got to his head and he is not the same person he was at the beginning of 2016. So I'm not "feeling the Bern" this time, and I also have concerns that he has burned too many bridges with the establishment whose help he will need to get elected if he is the nominee. But I think a lot of the attacks on him are unfair, so I continue to defend him when appropriate. But I have also defended Biden against some ridiculous attacks here.

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

Everyone is a millionaire, or better, except for Pete. bluewater Feb 2020 #22

Absolutely true, but to be fair, I think only one of them make it a cornerstone issue. OnDoutside Feb 2020 #50

Wasn't that cornerstone issue about TAXING the millionaires? bluewater Feb 2020 #53

Because it provides him the "cover" of "impartiality". awesomerwb1 Feb 2020 #16

Bingo. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #61

How many "non-white" voters are in Iowa? George II Feb 2020 #4

Why did you put that in quotes? Are non-white voters in Iowa not really non-white? DanTex Feb 2020 #6

So why didn't Joe win those non-white voters? bluewater Feb 2020 #8

Not sure what you're trying to imply, but... HerbChestnut Feb 2020 #18

Nice Pictures! That's a very diverse crowd of Bernie Supporters! bluewater Feb 2020 #19

Not nearly as many as there are nationally. Desert grandma Feb 2020 #43

I think there are still concerns for Bernie. pfeiffer Feb 2020 #7

One big concern for Bernie and his supporters would be over confidence. bluewater Feb 2020 #9

The concern is that he will not get the independent voters. oldsoftie Feb 2020 #14

The sample size wasn't big enough. Sorry ecstatic Feb 2020 #10

Bernie has been campaigning for nearly five straight years and can't win decisively in Iowa Happyhippychick Feb 2020 #11

Biden was a 2 term VP and can't finish better than 4th place in Iowa bluewater Feb 2020 #21

I agree with you Happyhippychick Feb 2020 #26

hi and thanks! bluewater Feb 2020 #28

I haven't picked men candidate yet so I'll support whomever it is! Happyhippychick Feb 2020 #30

With the cluster f.ck in Iowa going on and how this cound is being handled ? CentralMass Feb 2020 #25

The clusterfuck doesn't account for why Bernie didn't win by a landslide after building this Happyhippychick Feb 2020 #27

The field had 20 + candidate + 2 late entries from billonares. CentralMass Feb 2020 #31

BERNIE NUMBER TWO!!! BERNIE NUMBER TWO!!! ahoysrcsm Feb 2020 #66

Why does everyone go apeshit over IOWA?? Worry about the states with delegates. oldsoftie Feb 2020 #13

Bernie got an unimpressive amount of support compared to what he had four years ago. No other highplainsdem Feb 2020 #20

Biden got an unimpressive amount of support compared to everyone else. bluewater Feb 2020 #24

Yes, this. Happyhippychick Feb 2020 #29

But in the end, isn't it the delegates who decide the winner? Like you said about Hillary re: 2016. ehrnst Feb 2020 #32

IA was Bernie's to walk away with a commanding victory. He dropped the ball. LanternWaste Feb 2020 #33

And Joe was just coveting fourth place ChubbyStar Feb 2020 #46

Its obvious to me we are getting shafted again mgcgulfcoast Feb 2020 #36

Oh brother! GMAFB! NurseJackie Feb 2020 #40

" He got 45% of nonwhite women." So in Iowa, that like what? 10 people? phleshdef Feb 2020 #45

What percentage did Joe get ? I'm told he has the demographic locked down. CentralMass Feb 2020 #48

According to polling, he is still favored by African American voters. phleshdef Feb 2020 #49

I wasking about Iowa CentralMass Feb 2020 #55

And I was joking about Iowa. Whats your point? phleshdef Feb 2020 #56
