    1. @Liza Tanzawa let me ask you something. If the DNC hacked the voting machines, then why is Trump president?

    2. Eric Fical Obama was under 50% when he got re-elected as were many other presidents. It helps to know your history.

    3. @Farel Bernie just had a mild stroke or heart attack a few weeks ago. He’s 78 years old, being realistic, he may not be able to make it through the first term.

      It’s not really about Iowa, it’s about the DNC. They’re talking crap like no presidential candidate has won without winning Iowa. I looked it up. In the last 40 years, just one person has gone on to win the presidency after losing both Iowa and New Hampshire — Bill Clinton. So if this is how the Dems go about picking their candidates, I’ll vote for Trump just to jam-up the DNC.

    2. @Alexander Canella
      Bullshit. The world doesn’t stand still. Times change. No one or two states should be in the position of predicting future elections. And I’m tired of hearing about the Biden electability argument. I’d rather lose than vote for another Wall Street corporate shill like Biden.

    1. @J Busa you think so? That their motto? Lol. We can help…. Or is it do no harm? Or is it called the practice of medicine? Like I said do you boo boo.

      If someone tells a type 2 diabetic to ever eat bread they should be fired lol. But believe what you want Boomer.

      Your dumb generation made drs rich off of prescribing statins to lower ppls cholesterol. So go somewhere and eat a fist full of lipitor

    2. @Derek Smidl who do you think did the hanging you idiot? The Democrats. I’m wrong to say black? Wtf are you stoned? Id actually love for you to tell me how democrats have cared for black people, ever. Educate me lol

      A word is a word. In America words are protected. I can say whatever I want.

    3. @J Busa foods high in cholesterol lol. You mean like chicken eggs? If any nutritionist tells you to not eat chicken eggs, leave ….. If they tell you to only eat the egg whites run lmao.

    4. @J Busa you do know liver is the original and undefeated super food right?

      Again. Join the 21st century. Cholesterol isn’t bad for you. It is actually what makes your body release testosterone and or estrogen.

      Again. Name me something else bad for you that your body produces…

    1. @Paul Kern , Proof a DEM can not dispute a fact ,, they scream Russia , because Biden Inc , did receive Millions $$$$ in Bribes via Hunter Biden , China, Ukraine , Romania to name just a few of the countries

    2. Alex Gee

      Oh yeah. Is that why they just talked about him failing? They comment on the horse race aspect of polling. If Bernie was failing they would have talked about him. If Bernie was pulling ahead they would have talked about him. They talked about the Biden and Buttigieg because one is falling behind and one is pulling ahead.

    3. Jeff B When asked why he won’t pay higher taxes now he says why won’t you. He can pay as much as he wants but refused to pay more than he has to. He’ll raise them on the middle class who barely make it now so that a bunch of foreigners can get free healthcare along with lazy Americans. We have Medicaid for the poor and Medicare for the disabled. We don’t need trillions of more debt.

    1. BurnEdOutOne

      Because he doesn’t. He’s remained the same in a statistical tie with Warren while Biden drops and Buttigieg gains. He didn’t *take* anything in terms of the race here, he just didn’t lose. That should make you happy.

    1. @Jeiku Anime Review  Jeiku Anime Review  I don’t need to be lectured by some sanctimonious, self righteous, pseudo intellect like you. Furthermore, where did I dispute that Trump didn’t win? Clinton did not campaign in key swing states and lost them. She ultimately won the popular vote which the polls accurately predicted. But I don’t expect you to understand that since you clearly don’t understand how polling works or how the electoral system in this country works. There was no bias in the polls. That’s a fact. Deal with it, or keep deluded yourself. Whichever one helps you live in your bizarre safe space.

    2. @Brandon Smith
      For the record I’d 100% agree with you if the polls said “96% chance of winning the votes”

      or something along those lines

      But it said “Presidency” and she certainly didn’t win that.

    3. Polls polls polls!!! Forget the polls. Just wait for election day!!! And then see what excuse the dems make for loosing!!!!

    1. @dothedeed ABSOLUTELY NOT! He is 78 and just had a heart attack. SO WHAT! the presidents job is not to dig ditches, his job is to lead a nation. He doesn’t need a healthy body he just needs a healthy mind and he has that. A person could be a fantastic president from a hospital bed or even completely paralyzed. FDR lead us thru WW2 from a wheelchair. It’s an advantage to be an old president. Older people have more wisdom, more life experiences etc. They tend to make better decisions and don’t let their emotions get the best of them. He has 40 YEARS experience in government and still hasn’t sold out to the big donors. This is our VERY LAST CHANCE to have him as our president. Can you name me a more honest politician than Bernie?

      Maybe it wasn’t bigger news because they didn’t want to hurt him or be accused of hurting him by talking about a 78 year old man having a heart attack. How would Bernie supporters feel if the news talked and speculated 24/7 about Bernie having a cardiovascular disease? They could talk about his medication that has to be discontinued when he has dental work or that having stents plus the cardiovascular disease increase risk of stroke. Would you like that? How can anyone think NOT TALKING about their candidates heart attack is a bad thing?

      And they ignored Hillary to point a camera of an empty podium of Trump’s too. They were all about the crazy orange man, it wasn’t an effort to erase Bernie.

      Dear god are you people really that invested in making Bernie the victim that you can’t think straight?

    1. I can’t make this point enough. If we continue to disrespect Cory Booker he is going to signal to the Mothership early to begin alien invasion

  1. I love it. The side of the poll said “Margin of Error: +/-”
    Plus or minus what? the entire poll. LOL

    1. @Joseph “OMG Hillary is proof all polls are wrong!” That argument makes my brain hurt. It shows a complete lack of understanding of how statistics work. If I poll 1000 people on which color is better, blue or red, and i get 95% blue… it means nothing when the total population is a million. Polling works by doing this several times in several places, and then creating an average from those polls.

      By the by, Hillary won the popular vote. So the polls were indeed accurate in that regard, since THAT’S WHAT THE POLLS WERE LOOKING AT. How many people overall were voting. Trump won by taking key votes, in key places, that would nab him the spot through the use of the electoral college.

    2. @Joseph hey sup joey macaroni over here. i think if you look at derek’s comment more closely hes not saying a blanket statement that polls are accurate. hes trying to say that you need to look deeper into the polls analytics and people didnt do that in 2016 with hillary and trump. so you are kind of making a sarcastic statement to a person who has a similar opinion to yours.

    1. @Matt Gaetz Don’t tire yourself out replying each and every troll and whatnot. Engaging and educating you are arguing is the right way but don’t forget here isn’t a good place for it. Believing if you say ‘Socialism has never worked and never will.’ Enough times it will become real is a idiocy on par with people lining behind fascist ideas. Especially for Americans, whose country rose to prominence by socialist FDR era policies.
      One of the great mass illusiona cast upon humanity was putting socialism in the same basket with oppressive dictatorship that is Soviet communism.

    2. ​@Raren77 Raren77 I just don’t understand how people can be so idiotic and work against their own self interests. Its as if I spit in their face and sleep with their wife and they thank me for it. Honestly that is the sole mentality of the right wing middle class and below.

    3. @Matt Gaetz you are just a leftist who wants socialism which means, your lazy, self entitled and probably live in your parents home..once your done sucking off of them, you will use the governement whom you think are like mommy and daddy..grow up and realize that you work, save and prepare…you aren’t owed anything in this life..

      They talk about polls like a horse race. So they talk about who’s falling behind or gaining. Biden is falling behind, Buttigieg is gaining. Sanders and Warren are staying the same so they don’t talk about them *when talking about changes in the polls*. Bernie is not being singled out here. This isn’t a conspiracy.

    1. @Ken Jackson trump hoodwinked all of you. He wants to built a wall around Colorado to keep the warm smell of colitas in Colorado, also around Mexico Indiana because his cabinet told him, there is a Mexico in Indiana and pence el pendejo agreed

    2. @Hector Rivera: _”He wants to built a wall around Colorado …”_
      I read someone else making fun of him for that. I didn’t hear him say it. If he really said that, it’s the _only_ gaff I know of that he’s said. Compare that with Biden that makes gaffs routinely. The rarity highlights how skillful of a speaker he is.

    1. LOKI SAMA

      Ha ha! Victimhood about Bernie is getting old. They talk about the polls in terms of the horse race. If Bernie was pulling ahead or dropping behind they would talk about him when discussing a poll. Since Biden is falling behind they talked about him more. Since Pete is gaining they talked about him. Warren and Sanders are in a statistical tie but they aren’t moving either way so when talking about POLLS they don’t mention them.

      This isn’t about anyone not liking Bernie it’s about how the media always covers polls like a horse race.

      What would the Bernie campaign be without its Victimhood though?

    2. @Wendy Pastore he has the most donors. Progressives support Bernie as he is the only anti establishment candidate
