Disregard or take with a huge grain of salt the poll breaking in New Hampshire it has two

primary purposes.

1. Build expectations of a Bernie win beyond reality so that even should he win by 5-10 points or less the corporate media conglomerates will state that he under-performed, Hillary did really well in the debates and is surging.

They're just playing the expectations game.

2. The second motivation by the corporate media conglomerates is to induce complacency with Bernie supporters making them less likely in turning out to vote. If Bernie is winning by 20-30 points, "why should I bother to vote?"

Take heed of what happened in Iowa, every vote counts.

Election fraud has never taken place ever, because white people are always honest and would not do such a thing ever.

They don't even go out to the small caucuses in the middle of nowhere. This, back in the day, helped add to the mystique of the Iowa caucus. Yes mystique -- Iowa.

It all comes down to March 1.
