With 325 surveyed I don't think its time for all other candidates to pack up their bags and go home.
325 surveyed..this is the part that will not be mentioned by the News Media.
Now the report is that Joe could be on cruise control. WOW

are popular, especially with the young bar hoppers who like their green beer on St. Patty’s day. I bet the young’uns can handle a little word like Malarky.

Americans are sick of his constant lying and delusional tweets. No Malarkey is exactly Joes's opposite of that.

Because of the caucus. It isnt a democratic process. People get bullied by activists and either dont bother going or end up not supporting thrir chosen candidate.

So polls jave little use. Its who can yell the loudest and belittle others the longest.

If they love it, thats ok. Just put them last.

The free press he generated from using the word Malarkey made this much bigger than an Iowa tour. His opposition once again forgot to think their way through their hyperventilation and gave Biden a nice boost.
