The Des Moines Register, CNN and Selzer & Co. have made the decision to not release the final installment of the CNN/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll as planned Saturday evening.
Nothing is more important to the Register and its polling partners than the integrity of the Iowa Poll. Today, a respondent raised an issue with the way the survey was administered, which could have compromised the results of the poll. It appears a candidate’s name was omitted in at least one interview in which the respondent was asked to name their preferred candidate.
Conspiracy theories abound, with most of them suggesting that CNN didn't like the results and used this single survey complaint as an excuse to not publish it? Some sources are suggesting that this poll may have shown a substantial lead for Bernie Sanders, who is not exactly the candidate that most of the media and Democratic main-streamers would like.
Either way, the Iowa Caucus is here and whatever happens is going to happen. The reality for the Democrats is that the winner of Iowa "HAS" turned out to be the nominee pretty much every time in recent history. If it is Bernie, that bodes well for him as he is expected to win New Hampshire, was only one point behind Biden in the latest Nevada poll, and has been closing the gap in South Carolina. Winning Iowa would be a momentum boost heading into New Hampshire, and if would stay close in Nevada and South Carolina, he goes into Super Tuesday with a big practical advantage (especially considering he holds an overwhelming lead in the past two polls in the delegate rich California).

Den media dumping on Bernie as well. Tom Brokaw the latest. They're very worried.
And it's coming out that Warren's insulting question helped Murkowski and Lamar vote against witnesses. Everything she touches turns to shit.

Two Super Bowls ago I was sitting in a prison cell.
Today I am a free woman and my story was featured in a Super Bowl Ad.
I will spend the rest of my life fighting for the wrongly and unjustly convicted!

John Kerry — one of Biden's highest-profile endorsers — overheard Sunday on phone at Des Moines hotel explaining what he would have to do to enter the presidential race amid "the possibility of Bernie Sanders taking down the Democratic Party— down whole."

Majority of Iowa Democrats Seek Fundamental Change
February 3, 2020 at 5:31 pm EST
A new AP Votecast survey finds roughly two-thirds of Iowa caucus-goers said supporting a candidate who would fundamentally change how the system in Washington works was important to their vote.
That compares to about a third of caucus-goers who said it was more important to support a candidate who would restore the political system to how it was before President Trump’s election in 2016.

Manchin Calls for Censuring Trump
February 3, 2020 at 5:01 pm EST
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), a moderate who is friendly with the White House, asked his colleagues to consider censuring President Trump as it concludes the Senate impeachment trial, the Washington Post reports.
“Manchin has prepared a censure resolution for fellow senators to consider in the coming days, which would be a less severe rebuke than removal from office for Trump’s efforts in pressuring Ukraine to investigate his domestic political rival.”
LOL@Jane
James, that's bad news for Biden whose whole campaign theme is Obama 3.0.
As for Manchin? He's looking for a way out of his dilemma.
James, you can't be as stupid as you act.
It is an act?, Right?
It's possible that
Biden may fade
Bernie may fade
Bloomberg may rise.
great, "Kerry in a Landslide"
Jane you effeminate , sitting on three fence posts at once.
What a milk toast faggot.
Capitalism Trounces Socialism, Sanders Still Beats Trump
The Week:
“In an NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey released Sunday, 53% of voters said they have a negative view of socialism, compared to 19% who have a positive view. The poll found the opposite result for capitalism, which 52% of voters said they have a positive view of, compared to 18% who said they have a negative view of it. This finding came ahead of the caucuses in Iowa, where Sanders has been surging.
“But the poll still found Sanders, who describes himself as a democratic socialist, with a lead over Trump, earning 49% support in a head-to-head matchup compared to Trump’s 45%. Former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and Pete Buttigieg also led Trump.”
So Jane goes "Bernie in a Landslide".
As Sanders ties to the Soviet Union pierces the curtain of media apathy he will pretty much fade.
He's more than a socialist. He has real connections to Russia and the old communist regime.
Kinda of ironic for the party who scream Russia, Russia, Russia that there front runner is a full fledged Russian puppet.
“It’s a dispiriting moment for an American system that in many ways was founded on the insight that, because humankind is frail and fallen and fallible, no one branch of government can have too much power,” said Jon Meacham, an American historian and author. “The president’s party, instead of being a check on an individual’s impulses and ambitions, has become an instrument of them.”
Since the moment House Democrats opened their impeachment inquiry in September, Trump has projected a sense of persecution and self-pity. He called the effort a coup to overthrow him and defraud the results of the 2016 election.
Again and again, Trump proclaimed on Twitter, “READ THE TRANSCRIPT!” — though the notes from his July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky did not seem to exonerate him. Rather, the notes made plain Trump’s scheme to get Ukraine to open an investigation into former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.
With Trump commanding such exceptionally high approval ratings among Republican voters, however, even senators who acknowledged his actions were wrong voted Friday to block new evidence in the trial and pave the way for acquittal.
One of Democrats’ great hopes to permit fresh testimony from firsthand witnesses, including former national security adviser John Bolton, had been Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), a self-described institutionalist who is retiring and would not have to face the wrath of the GOP’s pro-Trump base.
But Alexander demurred. Although he said Trump’s actions were “inappropriate” and had “already been proven” by House impeachment managers, the senator from Tennessee said there was “no need for more evidence” and that he believed Trump’s conduct did not meet the Constitution’s standard of “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors” for an impeachable offense.
“Let the people decide,” Alexander said in a lengthy statement Thursday explaining his position.
Another Republican seen as a possible supporter for permitting witness testimony, Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, also came down against doing so. Although she did not comment specifically on Trump’s actions with Ukraine, she faulted the overall impeachment process as too partisan and unfair.
“I don’t believe the continuation of this process will change anything,” Murkowski said in a statement. “It is sad for me to admit that, as an institution, the Congress has failed.”
Only two Republicans — Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah and Susan Collins of Maine — voted to allow additional testimony, two votes shy of the threshold required for the measure to pass. And with the final impeachment vote requiring a two-thirds majority to convict the president, the outcome seems preordained.
“This impeachment was a fait accompli at all times,” said Bill Whalen, a fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution at Stanford University. “You talk to congressional Republicans and there’s a feeling that the president is being persecuted, that impeachment was a conviction in search of a crime.”
William A. Galston, chair of the Brookings Institution’s Governance Studies Program, said acquittal “was not only perfectly predictable, but in my judgment, completely inevitable.”
“The United States political scene is as deeply polarized along partisan lines as it has been for at least a century,” Galston added. Noting Trump’s high ratings among Republican voters, he said, “It would take a very brave Republican indeed to break ranks with the president under these circumstances.”
This is not the first instance in which Trump has skirted penalties for wielding the powers of his office for personal or political gain. Former special counsel Robert S. Mueller III found that the president repeatedly worked to block or thwart the Russia investigation, acts that could potentially have prompted obstruction of justice charges were he not a sitting president.
But Trump sidestepped any punishment then, just as he appears to now with Ukraine.
One of the president’s lawyers, Alan Dershowitz, proffered a sweeping argument on the floor of the Senate last week that Trump using the powers of his office to pressure Ukraine to open a corruption investigation into the Bidens was not impeachable or illegal because it was done in pursuit of his reelection.
“If a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment,” Dershowitz said during the trial.
In the face of stinging criticism from constitutional scholars and legal experts, Dershowitz said later on Twitter that his comments were being mischaracterized. “A president seeking re-election cannot do anything he wants,” Dershowitz wrote. “He is not above the law.”
Still, Dershowitz’s argument was persuasive for some Republican senators looking for arguments with which to defend Trump irrespective of what the evidence showed.
“Let’s say it’s true, okay? Dershowitz last night explained that if you’re looking at it from a constitutional point of view, that that is not something that is impeachable,” Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) told reporters.
Timothy Naftali, a historian at New York University and former director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum, said the arguments advanced on Trump’s behalf in the Senate trial could have lasting consequences for the future of presidential power.
“The Republicans have embraced a theory that permits future abuses of power,” Naftali said. “The outcome of acquittal was predictable . . . but I’m afraid that this process in the Senate is more enabling of an abusive president than expected.”
The nation’s founders gave Congress oversight responsibilities and powers of impeachment as a check on the executive. Yet, with this week’s likely acquittal of Trump, Meacham argues, the Senate instead has become a tool in the president’s perpetuation of his own power.
“It is not hyperbolic to say that the Republican Party treats Donald Trump more like a king than a president,” Meacham said. “That was a central and consuming anxiety of the framers. It is a remarkable thing to watch the party of Lincoln and Eisenhower and Reagan and the Bushes become an instrument of Donald Trump’s. That’s a massive historical story.”

Democrats' Total Failure and Utter Humiliation Delights All Real Americans
Now that the Democrats’ dream of stealing the 2016 election through the power of MSNBCNN-fueled outrage, and through plots by fussy lib bureaucrats, lies in ruins, some people might argue that we should be gracious in our total victory and not mock the stinging pain that accompanied this latest agonizing failure. Some people are sissies. Hoist a stein overflowing with the tears of these losers and chug chug chug away.
Then tap another keg. This party is finally getting started, and it’s going to rage on until January 2025.
Maybe even longer, if you listen to the Bozos, Pennywises, and Krustys they find for those CNN panels. Their genius takeaway from their soul-crushing defeat in trying to impeach Donald Trump for the crime of revealing the massive corruption of Senile Joe and his son Snorty Strippertap is that Trump might decide to never leave office. That’s a good point. What would they do if he didn’t? Take up arms like real men would? Yeah, right.
They will take what they are given and like it.
Perhaps the best thing about this ridiculous kabuki act was how it forced the unwoke Republicans to stop pretending that these antics are legitimate, that we need to treat this crap seriously, and that we need to act like these games are not just another bogus ploy designed to disenfranchise us and re-empower the sorry pack of weirdos, losers, and mutations that make up the Democratic Party. Even Senator Igloo (R?-Frigidaire) got tired of it. Of course, not all Republicans got it. We can forgive Susan Collins because she’s from Maine and maple syrup and moose make you weird.
But Mitt Romney, aka Thin Jeb!, that simpering goof…who else is about done with that carpetbagging preppie tool? What is Utah thinking? Give us back our 2012 votes. How can someone with so many kids – I believe the nicknames of these Stepford sons are Skippy, Muffy, Bilbo, Tugg, Torpp, Ting, Jipper and Sneep – be so incredibly impotent?
And no, what Candy Crowely publicly did to him in front of all America on that debate stage does not go to demonstrating his potency. It goes to hers.
Where do the Democrats go from here? Well, if they were not a hopeless pack of unmitigated failures masquerading as a political party, they might take stock in their situation and figure out a way to win by appealing to voters with policies the voters desire. But the Democrats are a hopeless pack of unmitigated failures masquerading as a political party, and they have no desire to appeal to voters with policies the voters desire. Instead, the Democrats, in the death grip of the weirdo SJW identity freaks and socialist Castro-wannabes, know that they can’t get what they want by winning elections based on their Marxy platform. They have to take out Trump via some extracurricular deus ex machina. Such is the dearth of options a party has when its own dummies totally alienate themselves from normal people by doing things like booing Deus on national TV.
Well, at least the Fredocons have got the Dems’ backs. So, they got that going for them.
Let’s face it – the Democrats in Congress have zilch to show their constituents next fall except videos of Adam the Anime-eyed Lollipop and Oompa Nadler losing in the Senate. And their primary is a disaster of epic proportions and it’s hilariously funny. Here’s how bad it is: Beto the Furry fell out and the stupidity/insanity axis actually rose.

Just last week, Chief Sitting Bolshevik assured her baffled audience that she would allow a trans nine-year-old to pick her Secretary of Education. Leaving aside that there are no “trans” nine-year-olds, only disturbed children egged on by terrible liberal parents who delight at how converting Kaden into Ashleigh will make themselves interesting, you at least gotta hand it to Pocahontas. That’s some incredible sucking up to the weirdo fringie set by the only person of color remaining in the race.
Also, Panders to Lunatics suggested making saying things the government dislikes into a crime. In unrelated news, go buy guns and ammunition to help ensure that we never fall under a government that makes saying things the government dislikes into a crime. By the way, and making it perfect, this innovative initiative came almost simultaneously with the chorus of Democrat fake expressions of devotion to the Constitution. Perhaps in the liberal version, the First and Second Amendments both come with asterisks
The rest of the Dems are failing too, each in their own way. Gropey J is staggering about, the unwatched impeachment clusterfark having done only one thing – made people wonder why that loser dope-huffing, sister-in-law-tagging son of his got millions from Ukrainian crooks. Bernie Sanders might well be the nominee, setting off a Democratic panic and ham-handed attempts to create a lane for Midget Mike. Wait, I thought billionaires were bad? Anyway, ripping off Bernie again will spark a sissy civil war with lots of whining and pinching and it will be hilarious and terrific.
And overall this smoking Democratic wreckage looms Donald Trump, bellowing in laughter as his poll numbers rise. The economy is booming. He has signed great new trade deals. We are ending the elite’s idiotic wars. And it is looking like Nancy Pelosi will have even more reason to drink herself into sputtering incoherence over next November when we take back the House.
It’s a painful time to be a Democrat. Good. Because Democrats chose to be terrible, and their agony should refresh and inspire us. Graciousness in victory? Pass. They tried to take us out by taking out the guy we elected. They tried to make sure we could never have a say in our own country ever again. They tried, and because they suck, they failed.
Rub it in their smug, tear-streaked faces.
You losers have only just started losing, and we have only just started winning.
