It is a Sunday and the FYI portion of IST today will be the vote in Nevada……
Saturday the campaign for the Dem candidates came to a head in Nevada….and the results are mostly in and the results are….
In Nevada, it was no contest. Bernie Sanders cruised to an easy win, with the AP and the major networks calling the race as soon as the very first precincts reported. Those early results, here via Politico, showed why:
- Sanders, 54%
- Joe Biden, 18%
- Elizabeth Warren, 10%
- Pete Buttigieg, 8%
- Tom Steyer, 6%
- Amy Klobuchar, 2%
The win for Sanders follows his victory in New Hampshire and his virtual tie in Iowa, thus giving him clear front-runner bragging rights. Biden, meanwhile, declared himself back in the 2020 race after disappointing results in the earlier states. “We’re alive and we’re coming back and we’re gonna win,” he told supporters. Michael Bloomberg was not on the ballot.
This should be a beacon for the media…..those people that do not do well in a diverse electorate will soon be history….
If they are not out now then South Carolina should be the end of a couple of campaigns…..
Questions! I have questions.
Will there be any surprises on Super Tuesday, 03 March?
Will Biden’s firewall hold?
Will Bernie breeze through to the nomination?
Where the Hell is Bloomberg?
Not to worry there is yet another debate soon and South Carolina looms…..25 February ahead of the vote……
Onward!

“lego ergo scribo”
This is why I refuse to advocate any one candidate. The best ones are usually forced out early and candidates tend to show their true nature later on in the race.
But one thing I’ve got to admit – as much as people hate Russia, Putin was right when he warned the U.S. about turning to Socialist candidates – saying you have already seen by our history, (Russia’s), that Socialism doesn’t work.
Oh golly I have commented so much on this that I a weary…..so have a great Sunday….chuq
I knew Bernie was going to win, but I have to admit by how much surprised me.
Bernie has momentum……let’s see if he can keep it….chuq
The BBC is saying that Sanders will get the nomination.If he wins the election, (unlikely) I hope he lives long enough for a full term.
Best wishes, Pete.
I wish I had their confidence…..March will be the tell chuq
