    I'm not surprised to see Robo fanning the flames of dissension in the Dem ranks. This is exactly following the 2016 playbook: Claim that the whole process is rigged to screw Bernie, thereby pushing the candidate that Trump and Putin want to see win the nomination, and when he doesn't win, depress turnout in the process. The whole thing is discord amplified by Russian bots.

    In Iowa, there are paper ballots, and they'll get things sorted out and declare a winner today. In 2012, it took more than two weeks to declare the Iowa Republican winner (Santorum).

    • it IS rigged to screw Bernie, He's going to change the status quo, the Dem establishment would rather have Trump then Bernie.GuyFawkes
    • You know what the problem is all, Dems need a "normal" candidate against PT. a curmudgeon, a gay collegiate, another lying woman, and a perv polito=no bueno,robotron3k
    • This is getting way too complicated trying to figure out what Putin theoretically wants and trying to do the opposite. Just vote for who you want to win.yuekit
    • They’d love to see Bernie be the front-runner, Pretty much guarantees another trump winGnash
    • the establishment will shit if it's Bernie vs Trump, they will do whatever it takes to to not have Bernie as pres, including keeping Trump in.GuyFawkes
    • I dunno about that, all of the Dems are actually pretty competitive against Trump. Pete Buttigieg is the weakest candidate according to polling.yuekit

    • The Dems are crooked as all hell, a few of them can beat Trump, but if the establishment still wins nothing changes in the grand scheme of thingsGuyFawkes
    • getting money out of politics should be a priority, the media will not have it though since all of that $$ is for ads that ends up in their pockets.GuyFawkes
    • Yeah I was responding to Gnash thinking Sanders can't possibly win. I agree with you though, if Sanders is the nominee you'll see a bunch of establishmentyuekit
    • hack pundits suddenly start rooting for Trump lol. But they have less and less influence these days.yuekit
    • yup, times are changing w/ the internetz killing mainstream media & boomer generation dropping off.GuyFawkes
    • the polls must be right, thenGnash
    • What do you think the real numbers are? You think Trump is ahead by 10 points or something?yuekit
    • The way I see it all of the candidates have strengths and weaknesses. It's true that Sanders' policies could scare some people off. But he also has the mostyuekit
    • enthusiastic supporters, probably the best run campaign and can raise huge amounts of money. Not sure Biden or any of the other candidates can say the same.yuekit
    • I was responding to the assertion that the Russians and trump are colluding to get Bernie off the ticket.Gnash
    • And as sad as it may be, I don’t see any of the front runners beating trump.Gnash
    • Maybe none of them could, maybe any of them could. It would be foolish IMO to predict the outcome in a country where elections are routinely decided by a fewyuekit
    • hundred thousand votes in some random state.yuekit
    • Bernie is one of the only ones that could win. I was wrong last time thinking he couldn't win. Biden would lose badly, imho.formed
