Biden goes after Mayor Pete and Senator Sanders - NH Trail - 2020 Presidential Election

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 6.18pm post  that former VP, Joe Biden has gone on the attack after his 4th place in Iowa, " At a campaign event in Somersworth, New Hampshire, Joe Biden went after both Buttigieg and Sanders. He said it would be “a risk” to nominate Buttigieg, considering his most recent job was as mayor of South Bend, Indiana, an argument the former vice president echoed over Twitter....On Sanders, Biden warned the Vermont senator was too far left for the party and said down-ballot Democratic candidates would “have to carry the label he chose for himself,” referring to Sanders’ self-description as a Democratic socialist.  "

Lets Get Real:

The former VP will have to really FIGHT for the nomination, if Mayor Pete is seen as a better moderate to beat POTUS then Biden might be finished.  The main point of the Biden campaign is that the can beat Trump like a drum, if the voters think Mayor Pete or Senators Sanders can do the same then the point of Biden goes away.   It might be time for the former President, Barack Obama to help his former VP, to have Trump as his successor was bad enough, to have Biden beaten like a drum by other candidates would be to much for the Obama legacy, he might need to get his campaign shoes on and start helping Biden.  The very thought that Sanders could be the nominee scares the hell out of the Democratic Establishment. 

The ugly 2020 Election fight starts - State of the Union - Election 2020

Sky News: Reports " Pelosi rips speech after Trump handshake snub "

Lets Get Real:

The 2020 US Presidential election will be dirty, one can expect POTUS to get in to trenches, he wants a 2nd term otherwise he will look like a big loser.  The Democrats HATE Trump with an unhinged quality, thus they will go for the personal attacks, they can hardly go on about the economy, it is a good and in a recent Gallup poll TRUMP had a 49% approval rating, the best of his first term.   If the economy keeps getting better then the Democratic  nominee will have a hard time, the voters will not want to the pre Trump economy, no matter how much liberals hate Trump.  The Democratic nominee will also face the charges the he or she has taken the Democratic to the LEFT.  If the nominee is Senator Sanders then Trump will walk to victory, there is no way in hell the US will elected a socialist to the Presidency. 

The Iowa Fiasco - The Results at the moment - US Election 2020

BBC News: Reports " There are clear winners, as Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg can both claim some kind of victory, depending on how the final tabulations come in...There's also a clear loser - Joe Biden.  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog started to watch the Iowa results from 8pm on Tuesday, it is NOW Wednesday and only 71% of the results have come through, at the top at present is Mayor Pete with Sanders breathing down his neck, while former VP Biden is fourth, and lucky at that, the question is can Biden recover, or will he lose New Hampshire also, if that happens the money givers to Biden will start to question if he is up to the job.  The Biden Campaign was smart to lower expectations for the early States, the campaign states it has a firewall in S. C, that the African American vote will save Biden and make ready for Super Tuesday.  The African - American voters do watch the news, will they think Biden is a LOSER against Trump in November and move to either Mayor Pete who has dealt with the negativity because he is gay or will they go for the arch liberal socialist Sanders.   New Hampshire could either make Biden the new comeback kid or he could be the sinking Titanic. 

Kerry NOT RUNNING in 2020 - Iowa Part 4 - US Election 2020

CNN - Politics: Reports " Former Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday denied a report that he was considering a bid for the 2020 presidential election, saying it is "categorically false."  "

Lets Get Real:

The thought that Kerry would run shows how nervous the Democratic Establishment is about a Sanders nomination.  Let's speculate that HRC decides to run again, she won the popular vote in 2016 and has been stuck with nothing to do since 2016, as in elected office, she and Bill must be going mad, politics and Clintons go together like tea and milk.  It can be argued that HRC has the right to run again, she actually BEAT Trump in votes, and thus it would be only fair to give her chance to beat him in 2020.   The chances of that happening are ZERO, the Democratic candidates would not take kindly to a Clinton run again, it is seen that she blew her chances in 2008 and 2016, there are no third acts in American politics. 

Kerry of 2004 looking for another run as POTUS - Iowa 2020 - Part3 - US Election 2020

Guardian - Live Blog ( Iowa ): Reports the following in its 12.20pm post, " The controversy this weekend which saw former secretary of state John Kerry overheard seemingly suggesting he might jump into the presidential race illustrates the nervousness within the Democratic establishment about how well Bernie Sanders is doing.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus former Senator, former Secretary of State John F. Kerry is thinking of another run for the Oval Office, he tried that in 2004 against Bush 43 and failed, the Democratic Establishment is better at looking for Mayor Bloomberg to run for the Oval as  their nominee, he has the money, he is a billionaire, and might have a fighting chance against POTUS.  If the Democratic Party goes left wards it might make the base happy but it could cost the Party the Oval, the House and the Senate.   There is no way in hell that a majority of Americans will vote for the socialist Sanders, he is not even a registered Democrat.   One can only hope that Biden pulls off a shock victory in Iowa and New Hampshire. 

Iowa Part 2 - US Election 2020

Sky News: Reports " if 2016 has taught us anything, it's about the power of the silent voters. Bernie's guys might shout loudest. But those quiet Biden loyalists may end up being louder than they look at the ballot box in November.  "

Lets Get Real:

It has been reported that former President Barack Obama will come out in opposition to Sanders if it looks like he will be the nominee, the Democratic Establishment know that a Socialist Democratic Nominee would be a disaster for the Democratic Party from the Presidential level down the ticket.   One does not see Sanders making a good impression in the fly over States, the States that voted for Trump in 2016.  Also Obama would feel that if the Democratic voters reject Biden they are rejecting his type of Democratic Party.   At least CNN can stop covering the impeachment after Wednesday and go back to its pro Democratic move, they bet so much on the Mueller Report and the US Senate trial, and in the end got nothing but a basting in the ratings. 

It's Iowa Caucuses TIME - US Election 2020

Let's give BREXIT a brake for a bit, let's have some fun with US politics:

BBC News: Reports " Iowa caucuses: Race to decide election candidates begins "

Lets Get Real:

The latest polls this blog saw had Senator Sanders winning Iowa and New Hampshire, we shall see if the polls get this race right, or are they a bit iffy like in 2016.  It can be postulated that Biden needs a win in Iowa and NH, if he loses both and comes in third or fourth then the election might be over for the former Vice - President.  On the other hand if he bucks the trend and wins Iowa and NH then the nomination could be his for the asking.  While a Sanders win would confirm the left ward move of the Democratic Party.  If Mayor Pete can pull surprise a victory then he could be the moderate to take on Sanders.   The problem is that Mayor Pete has a problem with black voters, in S.C in one poll he has ZERO black support, that would be a problem.  It promises to be a LONG NIGHT, on Tuesday we have the State of the Union and on Wednesday the President will be found NOT GUILTY by the US Senate.  Not a slow news week.
