H.A. Goodman's latest: Bernie Sanders will win Iowa, New Hampshire and the presidency

This is pretty funny. Goodman puts more faith into the Iowa Youth Caucus than scientific polling. I don't think he realizes that middle school and high school kids could vote in the Iowa Youth Caucus.

LOL.

Wins in Iowa and New Hampshire Will Propel Bernie Sanders to the Presidency
Posted: 12/14/2015 10:11 am EST

When Bernie Sanders wins Iowa and New Hampshire, the tidal wave of media attention will cause a paradigm shift within the American political establishment. Suddenly, Bernie Sanders won't get 1/23 the television coverage of Donald Trump. Also, Hillary Clinton's continually evolving stances on key issues will be addressed by voters, as I explain in my latest YouTube segment.

<...>

More relevant than landline based polling results is the recent Iowa Youth Caucus. Composed of 984 young Iowans and organized by the Iowa Secretary of State's office, the Iowa Youth Caucus had Bernie Sanders winning (53%), followed by O'Malley, and then Clinton. Like I predicted for the eventual Iowa Caucus in a recent Huffington Post piece, Martin O'Malley finished second (24%) and Hillary Clinton (15%) finished third.

In 2008, Clinton finished third in the Iowa Caucus.

This dynamic will be repeated on February 1st, 2016
especially since Clinton might have "dissed" the caucuses in a government email. Hillary Clinton once referred to the Iowa Caucus as an example of the Democratic Party's "extremes," as stated in a recent NBC News article titled Did Hillary Clinton Diss the Iowa Caucuses in Private Email?:

Goodman also said Killer Mike helped Bernie win the White House:

-----------------

Atlanta's Killer Mike Just Helped Bernie Sanders Win the White House in 2016

The Clinton campaign's worst nightmare is coming true. Watching Run the Jewels' rapper Killer Mike introduce Bernie Sanders in Atlanta was one of the most powerful and inspiring moments of this election. Shattering the notion that Sanders only appeals to white liberals, The Huffington Post writes that "Killer Mike cited Sanders' stance on the Voting Rights Act, health care, education and ending the war on drugs" as reasons to vote for Bernie Sanders. Everyone from Rolling Stone to POLITICO wrote about the event, including a video in The Washington Post titled Killer Mike calls Bernie Sanders 'the next president of the United States.'

In fact, Killer Mike's words will eventually be deemed prescient, since he just won Bernie Sanders the White House. I explained in July how his advocacy of Sanders spelled trouble for Clinton, however this time it's different. At this crucial juncture, when polls are being conducted specifically for Hillary Clinton's campaign (The Hill writes that "Clinton won the debate, Public Policy Polling (PPP) found in its survey, conducted for the pro-Clinton super-PAC Correct The Record&quot , Killer Mike wasn't paid by a super-Pac.

I wonder if some guillotine or pitchfork maker is advertising on HA Goodman's articles under "revolutionary supplies"
