The gloves are off in the Democratic race, and it’s now abundantly clear that Bernie Sanders can throw a punch.

he gloves are off in the Democratic race, and it’s now abundantly clear that Bernie Sanders can throw a punch.

On Sunday night the Democratic presidential candidates met for their final debate before the Iowa caucuses. Hillary Clinton entered the debate with a 25-point lead in the national polls, a big fundraising advantage and a virtual monopoly on major endorsements.

But Clinton knows from personal experience that no lead is safe until the voting starts. In the 2008 presidential race she squandered an even bigger lead over Barack Obama.

Could history repeat itself in 2016? That question haunts the Clinton campaign team, particularly now that Sanders leads Clinton in New Hampshire and trails her by just two points in the latest Iowa poll.

Sunday night’s debate will only add to Clinton’s worries. Sanders skillfully fended off Clinton’s attacks and emerged from the debate stronger than ever.

Clinton attacks backfired

1. The Des Moines Register says Clinton had him on the defensive

but soon we will see. I just wonder what Bernie supporters do when reallity sinks in?

[Ferd Berfel]

3. WHo owns the D REg?

and who wrote that story?

[Tommy2Tone]

9. Yea I forgot only Twitter and Facebook are sources to Bernie fans.

[PatrynXX]

12. Yeah I know.. most long time Dems

know them for being rather Conservative. Most papers in the midwest are conservative. the Two I've worked for were both conservative.

4. celebrate

5. Probably try to get tickets to the inauguration.

6. That will be interesting. Inaugurations are frequently

pay offs to the biggest donors. complete with Gala balls corporate spreads. Bernie's will be a people's party. We should all plan on bring our pitchforks and visiting the congress critters while we are there.

17. Shades of Andrew Jackson and the washtubs full of cider on the White House

lawn.

11. Throw a party

When reality settles in for Clinton, hopefully she just goes away.

18. Des Moines Register, 2012: Endorsed Romney

From Wikipedia:



In December 2007, two weeks before the 2008 Iowa caucuses, the Register endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton (in the Democratic caucuses) and John McCain (in the Republican caucuses).[12] In October 2008, the Register endorsed Barack Obama for president in the general election.[13]

In 2011, 24 days before the 2012 Iowa caucuses, the newspaper endorsed former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney in the 2012 Republican Iowa Caucuses. The Register endorsed Romney over Obama 10 days before the general election on October 27, 2012—the first time it had supported a Republican for president since 1972.[14]

On July 24, 2015, the newspaper announced that it had been denied press credentials to cover a Donald Trump presidential campaign family picnic in Oskaloosa, Iowa, due to an editorial the previous week which called on Trump to drop out of the race.[15][1

21. You'd better hope we bother to show up at the GE

In the event that your preferred reality comes to fruition.

22. Feh

The register has a history of supporting or fronting for the most conservative Democratic candidate running.

2. I guess I wasn't watching the same debate as this writer.

[Tommy2Tone]

10. Maybe they were too busy voting on Twitter to watch?

[PatrynXX]

13. wouldn't know haven't been on twitter much lately

too many enemies making up lies about me there. Facebook at least one can block them easier. but generally sources are DU and Huffpo then on the Conservative side of things Politico (Faux is fantasy land)

7. I still cannot get over how she keeps pushing that Guns on Amtrack crap.

He voted to allow guns on Amtrack! Crazy nutters, walking through the cabins with loaded guns!

Not!!!

Firearms became reallowed in CHECKED luggage, unloaded and with advance paperwork...no passengers have access to that area.

And it's just like airlines!

But Hill keeps spewing the bullshit, trying to "suggest" something else. More of her deceptive BOO campaign tactics. What will be her next 3AM Phonecall style ad?

Disgraceful.

8. I've always thought Bernie was hands down the best candidate with my head and my heart.

Thanks for the thread, Ferd Berfel.
