Poll: Elizabeth Warren Sinks to Fourth Place Behind Amy Klobuchar in Iowa
2020-01-29
[LI] With the Iowa Democratic caucuses now less than a week away, candidates for president and their campaign staffers are scrambling to win over undecideds and others who are not fully committed to their first candidate of choice.

For Sen. Elizabeth Warren, however, the race to finish first in Iowa keeps getting more complicated, and seeming more out of reach. Over the last month, she’s struggled to stay in the top three, but has more often than not polled in fourth place behind Pete Buttigieg.

On Monday, a new poll released by Emerson College showed Warren firmly settled into the fourth place position, but now trailing Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who has vaulted into third place going into the home stretch. Mayor Pete has also taken a tumble:

#13  ... and Shitshow Clowns' + Global Grifters' heads would explode everywhere

#12  ^ it would be an interesting race. Suburban moms would come back to Trump. Some Trumpy Dems would go over to Bernie.

#11  So, yeah. It looks like Bernie.

That's probably where we're going... unless Romney changes sides.

Side note: Bernie was wildly popular in Michigan last go-round. Disturbingly so.

#10  I think that splitting that party into old fashioned globalist grifters on one hand and Bolsheviks on the other is the best thing that could possibly happen. Don't tell 'em I said so.

#9  I think it's safe to say that Fauxchahontas is not charismatic. She has the ego, she has the fire in the belly, but she does not have the personality.

And then there's Joe.

So, yeah. It looks like Bernie.

#8  meh on Warren, Klobuchar, Bernie and others.

See figures on NJ Trump rally requests for seats--something like 175K is being reported. People were lined up for 48 hours.

#5  Actually, Trump v Sanders would be quite interesting, a foretaste of the inevitable realignment that this country so desperately needs.

Neither of these candidates supports democracy promotion.

Neither is a Global Grifter keen on shipping US jobs and industry and wealth to China.

Neither supports mass immigration by illiterate, shit-wage campesinos.

Neither one is a fan of our Shithow media clowns, who lie endlessly about these two outsiders in a desperate effort to prop up their preferred candidates-- Hillary in '16, Plugz now.

Outside these points of similarity, of course, there are huge differences, but the really important point is that this matchup could signal the beginning of the end of our Global Grifter Uniparty.

Bring it on.

#4  I do enjoy the "sinks" part, but not in a scullery maid sort of way.

#3  Bernie Squeaky-Fromme is now the clear leader in California, and appears to be starting to pull away from the pack.

Looks like we may have our own version of BoJo vs Corbyn. Fun times!

#2  Bummer. I thought it was going to be Liz. Not because she is in any way qualified to be Prez, but because she wasn't an old white guy.

This sets a dangerous precedent because if we start rejecting candidates simply because they are utterly unqualified, pretty soon the Democrats won't have any candidates at all.

#1  Looks like a pattern. The first lightning bolt was the Fake Mexican: he flamed out. Then the Pacific Heights Ho was the intersectional savior: she crashed and burned. Now Fauxcahontas is collapsing, and Buttfug is on his knees.

Here comes Bernie!
