You know the DNC sent out a bunch of emails pushing Sanders as he launched and ramped up his campaign, right?
If anyone's the DNC plant, it's Sanders.

The children of Yakub always return to their natural state of racism.
Trump's Twitter attacks on Trey Gowdy this morning are going to get some pretty big traction with the base. Prior to the hearing and for months on-end, Gowdy was portrayed as a sort of congressional bounty hunter who could finally nail Hillary for her crimes, and in the eyes of the FR/Breitbart/Rush crowd, he blew it in spectacular fashion. Not only did he blow it, he gave her campaign a boost right at a critical time.
A few of his retweets/quoted tweets:
Brilliant of him to bring it up right after Gowdy endorsed Rubio. His angle of attack is pretty spot-on. Good timing, too.. he's setting-up this week's media coverage.

Face the Nation just gave Carson a chance to respond to attacks on him and he verbatim described his own lies and exaggerations as evidence his lies and exaggerations were true after all. He wanted to know why the media hadn't retracted their stories, which already contained his weird explanations.

You must have gotten out of the wrong side of the bed this morning, and obviously didn't read my original post very carefully, and/or didn't check out the link I included...
As I stated, it is very hard to believe, given his background (he actually graduated in 98 with a degree in bioengineering, with "concentrations in computer science" and genetics), that he wouldn't know his actions were being logged, but apparently you need more convincing, of his many years of technical experience in the political field:

Why plant a data nerd to destroy the campaign? Seems far too convoluted, and the end result didn't work at all. Why not plant a middle aged Brooklyn native (male or female, you never know in 2015) who could become sexually involved with Sanders.

Posting this a little far in advance, aren't you?
I wish I knew more about what the campaigns are doing in Iowa. It sounds like Cruz has the best ground game following the standard campaign strategy (that Bernie and Hillary also do) while Trump tries to get people from his rallies to vote in the caucus and Rubio isn't doing too much at all.

Speaking of which, the local DNC called my mom yesterday for fundraising. Their pitch was that they needed money to support Obama's push for a gun ban on terrorists on the no fly list. My mom, who has donated before, gave them $150. Laughable.

It all leads back to Saul Alinsky. It always does.
Noooo, stealth Hillary fund-raising? $150 though; your Mom must be loaded? My total donation to Bernie's campaign is $55 ($30 + $25), but I'm prepared to dig deep, and live off gruel for a month

Iowa has nothing but corn and Jesus. They don't have enough diversity to be racist. Hence Cruz. Even his name is redolent of Christ and Maiz.
Oh boy. If this is the case...

My total wildcard is Nevada. I don't think there's been a lot of polling out of the state, at least none that I've seen. If, somehow, Trump wins Iowa, I legitimately think this entire thing is over. Iowa was created for Calgary Cruz. If, somehow, Trump pulls out a win, his support is not a fluke, and runs deeper than I originally thought.

Doesn't surprise me at all that he would assume, after seeing the security failure on two occasions, that the third party team was a bunch of total idiots and discount the possibility that they could do anything at all correctly. I have worked with that kind of programmer before.

I think he's a fluke, ala Huckabee/Santorum. He will win Iowa and fail to capitalize on the momentum.
I could see Cruz winning Iowa and getting a bump - but not a large enough one to catch-up with Trump.
One big question in my mind right now: could such a bump place him in second place in New Hampshire, ahead of the guys in the establishment lane? Because if that happens, it might be decision time for party leaders/donors/establishment: do they begin to move to Cruz as a compromise "stop Trump" candidate, or do they continue to cling to hopes that the third-place finisher can somehow magically claw his way into long-shot contention?

I see Trump and Hillary as being in the same position in Iowa. Neither absolutely has to win that state, but either winning really seals the deal, for opposite reasons. A Trump victory means he's actually viable in the primary. A Cruz victory means that Iowa's GOP has swallowed a big ol mouth of the crazy pill again.
With Hillary, it means she's performing well in a demographically advantageous state to Sanders. At that point, it's all over but the shouting.
I agree that Cruz winning means little in Iowa...unless the GOP thinks that it'd be better to sink with him than with Trump. Since Cruz is so loathed, though, I have no idea how that plays out.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
This is my exact prediction as well.

Santorum did pretty well against the Romney juggernaut after Iowa for having no campaign infrastructure or money.

I'm still surprised Walker dropped out so early; he was suppose to be the darling of the Koch brothers. Not doing well in the polling hasn't stopped many hopeful candidates and he had other things going for him. While I think lacking pizzazz was his major downfall, Kasich lacks that as well. I guess Kasich being the most anti-Trump person (IMO) differentiates him enough, which Walker did not manage to do.

So, in this specific instance, I want to spit?
This is really shaking my worldview. I'm questioning everything...
