Bernie has decided to flip-flop on immigration, jettison the proletariat he's got and import a new one

Find 'em, feel 'em, eff 'em, forget 'em, just like Trump.

Kinda pathetic he comes back after being gone since April and heads straight for the bartender

I don't mind if you steal my Trump/Limbaugh BFI Unemployment Rate chart, just don't call it the Big Fat Idiot Unemployment Rate, PLEASE

Just think of all those girls 40 years ago: They were at home, eating but not working, and they just threw it all away (what WERE they thinking? and what on earth are they thinking NOW?)

Introducing the Trump/Limbaugh Big Fat Idiot Unemployment Rate, and the good news is in January 2020 we're back on track to more people not working but still eating, just like under the Carter Administration 40 years ago

Trump 2020 Iowa Republican Caucus beats Obama 2012 Dem Caucus 31,000 to 25,000

Iowa may have fewer commit[t]ed Democrats than it once did.

Story.

Bernie was the overwhelming first choice in the Iowa Democrat Caucus, and that's all that matters

In the second round, Biden bled out 2,693 votes, Klobuchar 1,288 votes, Yang a whopping 7,041 votes, and Steyer 2,670 votes. All of that is simply rearranging the deck chairs on their Titanic candidacies.

Bernie picked up just 2,155 of these 13,692 "anybody but Bernie" votes, but still he came out on top.

Case closed.

Bernie was right in 2015 and it's even worse now: Real wages of men are lower than they were 45 years ago, a fiasco

Wolf Richter:

The median earnings of men working full time year-round in 2018 ticked up to $55,291. Adjusted for inflation, this was below the amount they earned in 1973, according to the annual data trove released by the Census Bureau today. In other words, there has been a “real” income decline for men over the past four-plus decades! ... [M]en’s real earnings are a fiasco.

LOL: Donald Trump's crackpot 35% unemployment in February 2016 is 37% today

Jeffrey Snider:

In February of 2016, then-candidate Trump deployed his typical grandiose, exaggerated style after his win in the New Hampshire primary.

“Don't believe those phony numbers when you hear 4.9 and 5 percent unemployment. The number's probably 28, 29, as high as 35. In fact, I even heard recently 42 percent.

[T]he once fake unemployment rate has become his primary campaign symbol.

Big Fat Idiot Rush Limbaugh 2/5/2016:

We have an audio sound bite here from Obama ... He was heralding first-time unemployment rate as being under 5% for the first time in seven years ... Well, there’s a reason he said it. It’s because it’s the only way you can ignore the 94 million Americans not working, not in the labor force ... This is an abject joke. It’s a total joke.

Jonathan Turley is rightly upset by Nancy Pelosi's demolishing of decades of tradition

Iowa Democrats' "candidate viability" is undemocratic

Every vote in Iowa should count, but doesn't.

Clinton-Lewinsky brand cigars will get you every time

In a Linn County Iowa precinct only three candidates were viable for round two, but Warren (and "uncommitted"!) made it there but not Biden who received more votes: The delegate awarded to Warren should have gone to BootyJudge

In a Marshall County Iowa precinct there weren't enough delegates to go around using rounding, so the winner Bernie didn't get a bonus for winning and Warren actually forfeited a delegate, apparently in a coin toss with Klobuchar

In this precinct in Fayette County Iowa 69 appeared to vote in round one, 70 in round two

And then for viability to get to round two 69 is crossed out and 70 penciled in, but for assigning delegates after round two it's back to 69 again even though 70 voted in round two!

The extra vote appears to come from the final "t" in "Bennet", which is scratched out in round one, where the "t" appears to have been misread as "1".

Two conflicting methods of rounding are also used. Any decimal is rounded up to the next whole number for viability purposes, but for apportioning delegates the traditional .5 or above rule is used. BootyJudge got only 3 delegates this way, leaving one delegate of the 8 unassigned, but he was given the extra delegate, correctly, because he was the overall winner.

Democrat math, where every vote counts until it doesn't.

Good enough for government work.

Bernie and Yang judged "non-viable" in Dubuque precinct 1 because neither received 15% of the votes in round one

Nancy Pelosi: We'll decide what's despicable and shameful around here, buster

You mean like with a pen or something?

Treasury Secretary Mnuchin is muting expectations for 2020 GDP growth as Wall Street predicts a pathetic 1.8%

“I think our projections have been reduced because of Boeing and other impacts,” he told the Fox Business Network from the White House. “I think we would have hit 3%, but again, Boeing has had a big impact on our exports, being the largest exporter.”

“I think that could be 50 basis points or not more,” he added. ...

Wall Street consensus forecast for 2020 GDP is around 1.8% and the Federal Reserve’s forecast is 2%.

So much for Democrat energy: Iowa Caucus first-timer share drops to 35%, down from 44% in 2016 and 57% in 2008

The entrance poll showed just about a third of voters — 35 percent — caucusing this year are first-timers, a lower level than in 2016, when first-timers made up 44 percent of the Hawkeye State's Democratic caucusgoers. And this year's level of new participants is well shy of that in 2008, when a whopping 57 percent of Democrats said they had never caucused before.

Iowa Democrats bungle caucuses, infuriate candidates, as reporting app developed by Democrat Party of Tech fails

Hello? Sum ting wong wit da app.

“We have no sense when results might come in," said [Mao fangirl] Anita Dunn, a senior adviser to Biden. "We are, as other campaigns are, very concerned with what they might release: the alignment numbers are not adding up." “It’s a total meltdown,” she added. ...

Sanders' supporters were already crying foul. [WaPo slogan stealer] Rep. Ilhan Omar, who campaigned for Sanders in Iowa this weekend, tweeted, "Democracy dies in the darkness!”

Elizabeth Warren's campaign and its allies barely contained their fury at the state party’s bungling of the caucuses. “It’s a mess,” [a trail of tears] campaign manager Roger Lau told reporters. "I think that every single second that passes where we don't get a final result is concerning." ...

The candidates addressed supporters late Monday, not waiting for results. Despite the delay in reporting, Sen. Amy Klobuchar [noted for throwing binders at people] said her campaign knew it was “punching above our weight.” ...

The results delay came after anecdotal reports from precinct caucus chairs early Monday, who said they were having issues with their caucus night reporting apps. The app, developed by the Democratic Party, helps the chairs do the math to help figure out which candidates will meet the viability thresholds Monday night. And it’s a tool to feed the ultimate results to the party in real-time. ...

In Polk County, county Democratic Party chair Sean Bagniewski said only about 20 percent of the chairs would actually be able to use it. “We’re telling everyone to phone it in at this point," Bagniewski said earlier in the day. But that may have set off the next snafu: the phone lines then jammed up.
