Ok Amy was having a pretty good night but now has even a better chance

It was clear early on last night that Amy was doing much better then her Poll numbers showed. But it didn't appear it was quite good enough to retain viability in a lot of precincts that the media was there for but it was really close. What is more it also appears that the numbers reported from various sources do not really show much of the Rural areas.

But most interesting from all the early coverage was that she was doing so well that the media really was paying attention.

With her getting out first with her speech she was able to really set a positive message. What is more Buttigieg played it wrong.

So ow with New Hampshire looming bigger Buttigieg by claiming victory has set expectations way to high without a real narrative to back it up and so plays right into the arrogance narrative that has been developing. That and the fact that it looked like Amy had caught Joe reshapes the experience narrative,

She actually will end up gaining from Iowa and the mess it has become.

I am new to the forum so this is my first post. I think she is very good. On Monday I donated to Sanders. I have since changed my mind. So I am asking members of the sub forum a simple question and an idea. How about a ticket that is Amy & Bloomberg? Her record and his record together could be a winning team. I don't know much about Bloomberg but I think he would be ok with it from some of his comments.

I am from Alabama and Senator Jones is probably not going to get elected. He said just a minute ago that he is going to vote to convict. And he is going to speak on camera later.

I will also add that I think that in some ways Bloomberg = Trump. Excuse me if I offend anyone in the previous sentence.

Thanks!

First she knows Mike and has worked with him for years on issues but one big one and that is international business and in particular media.

Plus she has spoken of him in international contexts. People forget how big a international player he is, He has offices in a 120 counties and knows all of the major international players.

For VP she will pick someone that will probably help party unity. She likely will go a bit Bold and maybe go with Stacy Abrams.
