Notice what happened today

Clinton supporters are now pushing the new NBC/WSJ polls of Iowa and SC.suddenly other polls which have had bad news for
her don't matter only this one does.notice apart from PPP and Gravis NBC/WSJ is clinton's best pollster.

truth is iowa race hasn't changes since last but bernie has increased lead In NH so even their iowa and NH polls don't mean such
good news for clinton.

meanwhile while bernie is doing events In Iowa she is doing private fundraisers with hedge funds people.and bernie is calling
bluff on more debates.which campagin seems stronger to you?

the iowa race is exactly where it was last time NBC did poll.which means the clinton attacks did nothing to help her.

demographics the pollsters use is open for flaws.you can say they underpoll under 50.not polling people with cellphones and
aren't picking up first time voters and those switching to dem to vote for bernie.

I remain convinced if bernie supporters get out on feburay 1 he wins the caucus

on polluting the polling pool, and whether or not the campaign is already in the red.

Putting aside polling numbers, look at how the campaigns are behaving. IMO, the Clinton campaign clearly knows they're in deep shit, while Bernie's is acting like they believe they're going to win both Iowa and NH, and probably not by small margins.

Weathervane quoted that poll and said she's opening a lead but Good Morning America reported it as Sanders gaining ground.

That I am even more disgusted with her..

There was some coverage that she was going to that Finanace Industry Fundraiser in PHL, skipping campaigning in IA...there was supposed to be two fundraisers but the second one got "postponed" in NYC until next month.

What disgusts me most is that all of a sudden, out of the blue...she Tweets and touts that she went to an AME Church that was holding a meeting of AA ministers...just before the fundraiser.

I just feel that she's using the AME event as a tool, since there was a lot of out cry over those fundraisers now.

She just disgusts me.
