    I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict another caravan of drug dealers and Middle Eastern terrorists heading up from Central America in October 2020.

    "On Saturday, Fox defeated Tamikka Brents by TKO at 2:17 of the first round of their match. In addition to the damaged orbital bone that required seven staples, Brents received a concussion. In a post-fight interview this week, she told Whoa TV that "I've never felt so overpowered ever in my life."

    “I’ve fought a lot of women and have never felt the strength that I felt in a fight as I did that night. I can’t answer whether it’s because [he] was born a man or not, because I’m not a doctor,” she stated. “I can only say, I’ve never felt so overpowered ever in my life, and I am an abnormally strong female in my own right. ”


    His “grip was different,” she added. “I could usually move around in the clinch against...females but couldn’t move at all in Fox’s clinch.”

    Fox's gender controversy is not new. In March 2013, after a 39-second knockout victory, it was revealed that Fox had not told the MMA community about his sex-change operation, which took place in 2006. That bout was the fifth straight first-round victory for the then-37-year old Fox, including his three amateur bouts, and his second victory as a professional fighter."

    so other than attacking the messenger... do you think a man who transitioned to being a woman fighting a woman is ok? and not up for discussion?

    Iowa is basically a tie for Sanders and for Pete. Sanders wins the popular vote and Pete won the SDE which is because of his support in rural areas. Biden did horrendously a distant 4th. Now NH is a battle between Sanders/Pete/Warren.. Biden needs to wait until Nv and SC. The problem is the media narrative will be he is a "loser" has no base of support no passionate support blah blah which is self fulfilling and which will push his numbers down.


    The entire problem with Biden is that his support was and is based on indirect support and electability. People support him because others do. Because he is the most electable and able to beat Trump in the general. But if he continues to place 3rd, 4th and 5th in these contests that is broken.

    We should acknowledge that for the first time in American history, an openly gay man has won a primary state. A remarkable moment

    He didn't win. There are three measures for Iowa 1st popular vote, 2nd vote realignment and SDEs which is basically the electoral college for the caucuses. Pete only "won" SDEs based on his strength in rural areas won a lot of small counties which are overrepresented in SDEs.

    Plus the LGBT community is not pro-Buttieg and for good reason.

    And only 72% of the vote is in so yeah..but he did overpreform his polls so good for him.

    That is the point of the article, in many Democratic circles, asking that question automatically makes you a bigot.

    Is that the Party that we want?

    SDE is the way that winners have been announced in the past I believe. the other 2 are extras.


    Edit: he also did not win a primary state, if the results hold, he will win a caucus state.

    College social justice warriors, LBGTQ artists, folk singers. OK folk singers don't exist any more, they have become The Lumineers. At any rate, yes, but those people don't dominate the Democratic Party the way that their opposites control the modern Republican Party, which has mainstreamed its most fringe voices.

    Good. I'm glad he's fired up to prosecute the case. We haven't seen this kind of energy from him all campaign. Let's have a real conversation about the future of the party.

    That was in the past. These two measures are more authentic you know the will of the people and all that. But if Pete wants to claim victory of an electoral college win go ahead.

    Iowa was a Tie between them. Unless we ever get 100% of the vote in and really determine who won.

    Now really isn't the time to have the debate. That should have been 2016.

    I have been saying this for a couple of years, but he is not going to win Wisconsin again. There are a lot of pissed Dems in this state for a number of reasons, but there is evidence...an old, waddling foolish guy defeated Walker in 2018 for Gov. Evers is a poor politician, yet there he is at the helm.

    Clearly we're back to this debate; the campaigns of both Sanders and Warren reflect that.

    Are the Democrats a democratic socialist party or are they still a third-way centrist party?

    Why call themselves “progressives?” If that’s what they are fighting for them take the mask off and bask in what they really are.


    We are getting 4 more years of Trump if the Superdelegates tip the scale at the convention. Me personally, I’m vote blue no matter who. This could be the dems in its current form taking its last breath. People are already skeptical of the “transparency “ they are selling. It would do them well not to even appear to look like 2016

    rolls eyes. isn't Bernie now leading from all the latest results, and didn't Steyer recently back Bernie as a viable candidate. Are you suggesting the fix is in for Bernie and his future running mate?
