    The other six percent are undecided, declined to specify, and non RFK third party voters.

    The article lays out the responses in detail.

    First of all, Harris isn’t winning Iowa. So let’s calm our tits here.

    That said, I got to thinking about the 2016 Iowa caucus this week. Not only did Trump not win, he came within a couple thousand votes of falling to third behind Marco Rubio. Third! In his speech that night sarcastically praised Iowa and then spat out “Maybe I’ll buy a farm,” before exiting.

    If those couple thousand votes had gone the other way, would any of the bullshit of the last eight years have happened? We probably get President Cruz out of it and he would have sucked. But the Ted Cruz of winter 2016 wasn’t all in on killing representative democracy.

    So to review, she ain’t winning Iowa. But boy isn’t it fun to dream about Iowa circling back to finally drive a stake in the monster’s heart after all?

    While Greedo is accurate, looks more like Jabba.

    We should throw Nancy a national parade after Kamala beats Trump, easily.

    Or at least give her a #30for30.



    Thank you, Nancy. We ... half of us, anyway ... owe you an eternal debt of gratitude.

    The fuck we do. She wanted an open primary to try and wedge Gavin Newsome in.

    Gav would’ve been awesome on the trail.

    This is my dad's younger brother, a millionaire in Texas. A guy who got a special state loan to have college paid for when he was a kid.

    My dad and his brother haven't spoken for at least five years. They're in their 70s. He was once my favorite uncle. It's not ending soon.

    That's what Trump has wrought.

    For every vote Gav would've gained, another voter would've stayed home who thought Harris was getting dicked over.

    Harris was the only choice, although Newsom would've been a solid veep pick if it had been in consideration (and if he'd put himself up for it). Still might be a shelf in her cabinet - who knows.
