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
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
But she's a radical, a revolutionary, an enemy of America. Should we expect less?
The country hangs by a thread.
[S]he should resign as the speaker of the House of Representatives.
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.
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%.
