Despite Media-Gaming Iowa & NH Sanders Dispatches Warren & Biden

— Here’s what I see going on down the road.

Party loyalist Liz Warren, the corporate media and Iowan dirty tricks promulgated by political operative insiders have helped both Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobachur. Consider Warren, despite her progressive proclamation, has never been close to Sanders since the race began. Also consider the media has always been staunchly anti-Bernie.

Notably, Biden, full of baggage, had to be nudged out of consideration since he could never matched well against Sanders. So what was perhaps the original Biden-Warren (or a young upstart from the crowded field), against Sanders theory to deadlock the convention needed retweaking.

In essence, recognizing Warren in a fade and her usefulness against Sanders now limited, the political operative insiders have used Buttigieg’s Sanders challenge to clandestinely boost Klobachur. Her female status makes her a better bet to stay in the race for the long haul. She has better odds than Buttigieg, considering both candidates poll horribly — repeat, “horribly” — among minority voters. The media and political insiders will begin to paint and rebrand Amy as the new and improved Hillary female champion.

Insiders gain in two ways with a the Use-Warren-&-Buttigieg-To-Boost-Klobachur strategy. Forget not how Warren generously has promoted Klobachur both in debates and comments and keep in mind she’s always has ignored Sanders except to attack him once.

Let’s finally settle this. Warren is a “progressive” only to steal Sanders voters. Practically speaking, she’s a typical elite liberal party loyalist Democrat. Even with Boston’s tremendous media market into NH, Warren failed miserably because voters saw through her veneer.

When you consider all of the candidates, especially with Biden out, it is Bernie Sanders who is strongest in every demographic category. There is no reason why he won’t become the top vote-getter and delegate-getter when it comes time for the DNC Convention. Sanders, according to 2016 and 2020 polling, is the strongest candidate to also defeat Donald Trump.

Conclusion

Given all of the above, here’s what I see in the mill:

A) In a worst case scenario they might be able to force Klobachur as Bernie’s VP (Bernie will then need a taste-tester — lol) as party insiders will still want power and options.

B) If Klobachur stays viable through the long haul (forget not, she’s a woman), she, Bloomberg and Steyer, together, deadlock the convention.

Plan A, Bernie wins but gets forced on the VP; Plan B, super delegates select.
