BREAKING!: Sanders leads Iowa 51% to 43%!

Away we go!

Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders hold solid leads in Iowa, CNN/ORC poll finds
http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/21/politics/iowa-poll-hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-donald-trump-ted-cruz/index.html?sr=twCNN012116iowa-poll-hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-donald-trump-ted-cruz0907PMVODtopPhoto&linkId=20561248



In December, Clinton led Sanders in the Hawkeye State by 18 points in CNN/ORC's polling, 54% to 36%
Sanders' lead is in part built on his economic policies. Democratic caucus-goers said they trust the Vermont senator over Clinton on the economy by 22 points, and 67% said they thought he would do more to help the middle class, as opposed to 30% who felt that way about Clinton.

Clinton, a former secretary of state, led on foreign policy, garnering more trust by 40 points. She also was seen as more likely to win the general election in November, 60% to 38%.

I think this is blowback from her shift away from single payer and continuously attacking Bernie with lies. We aren't the Republicans. We don't lie and smear people. That's the other party. What we are is a reality based party and we've always demanded honesty. What Clinton did was Karl Rove shit. No one with any morals will support that.

Hell of a campaign strategy, but it sure works for me.
