Hmm.

I'm going to need to start thinking about these guys. Super Tuesday is in about two weeks.

Biden tanking in Iowa really messed things up for the DNC.. no wonder they tried to sit on those results. After the first two primaries, polling shows Bernie went up by double digits at the same time Biden dropped by that amount--they literally swapped places. Total nightmare scenario for the establishment.

And now the mass foot-shooting begins. The guy who is their front runner, who has massive popularity and unlimited fundraising, is actually winning, but they can't stop trying to smear him. "He will be horrible and ruin America and he's a Communist and there will be public executions and brownshirts!" they cry, in a total palms-sweating panic.

About the guy who is winning.

Here's the problem, though. He is projected to win EVERY STATE except two on Super Tuesday. Including Texas and California. He WILL be the candidate. They might not "like it" but short of having him ASSASSINATED, he WILL be the candidate.

So, how long do they go on, rat-ƒucking their own guy??

Saying, "He'll lose, like McGovern" is saying that DEMOCRATS will lose.

I would ask the same thing of the Bernie or Bust crowd from 2016.
