The Iowa presidential and precinct caucuses are rapidly approaching — set for Monday February 3. It is time we rigorously dealt with the Democrat event by offering helpful takes about their presidential candidates as that party is the only one seriously contested as to presidential preference. We will do so for the top contenders in that party knowing our influence is far and wide with Democrats. We regret that we may not get to all of them, or maybe bother anymore after the next post, but that’s just us. If we can help a candidate in the process, well our name will be legion in political circles.
Readers know of our long stated preference for Joe Biden and we have provided a number of erudite posts extolling his many virtues. Nevertheless you can depend on us to be entirely objective.
We see that at this writing there is a three-way tie for lead going into the caucuses with Joe, Bernie and Pete all at 23%. Liz is still a contender at 15%. Hailing from Minnesota, a virtual “favorite them” (son is not gender neutral), Amy is registering at 7%. The rest including Tom who has and is spending more money on ads than Democrats can conceive of, outside of taxing the middle class, are registering in statistical error range — meaning I could have thrown my name in and registered as much.
It should be noted that in 2016, Hillary Clinton got 49.8% of the vote in Iowa, and Bernie Sanders got 49.6%. That says something of the flavor of the Iowa Democrats four years ago — Marxist — Bordeaux or Burgundy — reds with neither any better tasting. They will likely live with any cheating as they did before (see here and here and lots of other Democrat sites posting back then). Democrats will live with cheating because that is what they all do and they are content to choose between Marxists of various cask or region.
Our first in the series is up next. Pete “John Boy” Buttigieg (referring to John Kerry of course)
