Who is Tom Steyer and why is he a threat to Biden - US 2020 Election


Lets Get Real:

Thus we shall see if money can buy you a State, Steyer has spent the money and has a large local staff.  It would be a major upset if Steyer beat Biden, it would mean that African - American firewall so stressed by Biden had failed, and it can be postulated that Biden would retire from the game.  It would help Biden if his former boss, President Obama came out and supported him.  The former President has warned the Democratic Party that if it goes far to left it will not get elected.  The moderate lane has Biden, Buttgieg and Klobuchar, it can be speculated that Senator Klobuchar will get a bounce from her come back from political death in New Hampshire.   None of the candidates seem to have caught fire like Obama did in 2008. 

Nevada is Warren's Firewall - US 2020 Election


Lets Get Real:

One can speculate that the money is running out for Senator Warren, she is putting her firewall in Nevada, it will be interesting to see where Sin City ( Las Vegas, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas ) puts its support.  It can be postulated that the other campaigns will try to get the Warren vote, one would assume that the liberal Warren vote will go to Sanders, but the talking heads have gone into detail ( wont bore you with it ) to show that the Warren vote can not be moved in to that direction.  Thus the other campaigns will make a dash for the Warren vote.  If Senator Warren has a bad night in Vegas then her campaign might be OVER, the same could be said of VP Biden, if he can not get the white vote, will he get the ethnic vote in Vegas.  The African - American vote for Biden SC has already fallen by half in recent poll, is he sure he will get their vote.  When Barack Obama come to the rescue of his former VP. 

New Hampshire Follow Up - Part 2 - US 2020 Election


Lets Get Real:

The Sanders camp might need the moderates to keep going, if they split the moderate vote between them; Biden, Mayor Pete and Senator Klobuchar; will allow Sanders to gain the nomination without a limited vote, it can postulated that Warren will drop out after Nevada or SC if she is not at the top of the vote.  It was reported that Biden has 9 million in bank, he will need for the BIG STATES, like California and Texas, its cost millions.  Thus we come to Mayor Bloomberg, he has BILLIONS on hand for Super Tuesday, and can out spend the rest of the candidates in to oblivion.  The polls from Nevada and SC will be very interesting. 

Is this the end for VP Biden? - US 2020 Election


Lets Get Real:

Biden has had two bad showings, the question is will the African - American vote stand with him in S C, in the latest poll he support has dropped by half, the voters will see that he is wounded and wonder can he get the white vote even if black Americans stand by him.  In one regard he is lucky, Mayor Pete gets around ZERO support from African American voters, Senator Klobuchar is gets minus zero.   The next stage is Nevada, it is a caucus State, one only hopes that the Nevada Democratic Party has its voting structure in place and it works, no one wants another Iowa, well the exception of POTUS.  The question is can Sanders pull off a victory, can Mayor Pete start to get the ethnic vote and is Nevada the last hope for Senator Warren.

Sanders takes Pole position in new Poll - US Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

If Biden crashes and burns again after Iowa there will be serious questions about his candidacy, he was meant to be the vote getter, if he can not win in areas like Iowa and New Hampshire, what are his chances in the fly over States.  The main camp to be worried will be the Warren camp, she is a Senator in the neighbouring State, it would be expected that she would get some voters from that, as voters would get the TV from the neighbouring State.  If Sanders wins then the Democratic Establishment might look to Mayor Bloomberg to take him on, as he has billions, let's face it, he could buy most States if he wanted.  The question is can Sanders or Bloomberg get the black vote, as to be elected POTUS they need African American votes.  It seems Mayor Pete is a no go with African American voters, as the men it seems have a problem with the fact that Pete is gay, there is not a lot he can do about that, also he is married.

Trump gets the CASH IN for the General Election - US 2020 Election


Lets Get Real:

While the Democrats are in to trenches of NH as to gain more votes.  A recent poll of  NH voters has Sanders on 29% and Mayor Pete on 22% The Trump Campaign is getting the money in for the November General Election.  The Democrats will vote tomorrow in New Hampshire, the FINAL Iowa result ( will it ever be finally ) has Mayor Pete winning followed by Santor Sanders, both candidates have asked for a recount in selected areas, as they think that the will gain in % stake, and Biden way back in the poll.  IF that is the result then both Sanders and Mayor Pete can claim a win, the Mayor Pete camp will argue that the election was tied in Iowa and Pete is the moderate to beat not Biden.   As for Biden, if he comes in 4th or 5th then question will be asked about his campaign, is time up for Joe, has his chance passed by in 2016?

Doctor Who Review - Can You Hear Me? - Arts


Lets Get Real:

This episode had a message, but it was well done by using what makes human fear when they dream.  The Doctor took on an Immortal, who used the fears of human to keep his partner alive.   The Doctor saw her Tardis family having their worst nightmares, also the Doctor visited Aleppo Syria in 1380, and discovered humans can create the worse dreams themselves and not need reality to add to it.   The message of the show was the need to talk to others if you have mental health problems, that it is nothing to be scared off.  Just do not ask the Doctor to be your shrink, still not good at the inter- personnel relationships.  Next week Lordy Byron and his famous challenge to create a horror story for all time.
