Warren gains ground, challenging Biden in prized Iowa poll

DES MOINES — Sen. Elizabeth Warren surged in a respected poll of likely Iowa caucus-goers released on Saturday, testing former Vice President Joe Biden’s dominance in the state.

The poll is the first from the Des Moines Register, together with CNN and Mediacom, to put the two-term Massachusetts Democrat at the front of the pack, with 22 percent saying she was their first choice for president. Former vice president Joe Biden, who led the Register’s June poll, sits at 20 percent, putting the two in a statistical tie, far ahead of the rest of the field. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) slipped 5 percentage points to a distant third, at 11 percent.

The September survey is the first by the Register in the 2020 cycle not to put Biden in the lead in the first-in-the-nation contest, which will take place in February. The closely watched results arrive as Warren builds momentum with immense crowds, including 20,000 in Manhattan earlier this week.

Trump does not need votes which is the problem. With the EC and the Russians he is home and dry.

"This is the handiwork of a sophisticated (most likely State) actor. The precise nature of the intelligence used to conduct targeting, the mission planning that went into this to avoid radar detection, as well as the selection of the targets shows a robust capability that would most likely be the work of a government or government-sponsored group,"

these guys can't fucking help themselves. Wake up. Sophistication hasn't required state sponsorship for ages, and it ain't your kind of sophistication that's been kicking our asses either.

Anyway, clown shoes gets his war in time?

Indeed. Yemeni 'rebels' have claimed responsibility, but I guess the administration will just say that they're puppet master is Iran. However, they won't be saying that Iran's main military partner and arms supplier is Russia, and that it was probably Russian-made drones that hit the Saudi oil plant.

I don't know if Iran is their puppet master, but it's definitely their biggest backer, even if they actually did the deed, they used weapons that Iran had provided them with.

I say we take off and nuke all the camel fuckers from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Maybe, but if the Dems can split off the Chinese and Iranians, they might have a shot. Of course, the North Koreans are sticking with Trump, and Ukraine is up for grabs.
Geez! This is starting to sound like Polish royal elections back in the 17th and 18th centuries.
