42. Kornacki dissecting a flea to try to make himself "important"

Feb 2020

Iowa results are always going to be suspect. They will help Buttigieg and Bernie somewhat since it is hard to argue their overall wins (albeit I'd never bet on which one actually won), but beyond that, the focus needs to be on changing their entire system from top to bottom and moving forward.


Iowa is in the rearview mirror and given the debacle and justified "forever" questions of its validity, should have no emphasis moving forward. What DNC and state Dems need to learn is to anticipate Trump and his ilk attempts to F..k with the primaries moving forward. It pains the hell out of me that we have open primaries in several states moving forward.

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