6. That's great news! N/T

[Drunken Irishman]

7. It's funny because the candidate who wins the endorsement generally loses the caucus...

I'm guessing that won't be any different this go around.

Hillary did win the Iowa Caucus (barely) and won the endorsement. But before that, Bush in 2000 was the last Democrat or Republican to win the endorsement and actually win the caucus.

8. Could not resist pissing on the cornflakes?

11. Well, you're lucky a DrunkenIrishman or drunken anyone only pissed on the cornflakes. nt

[Drunken Irishman]

15. Have you ever had cornflakes? They're bland. You need something to liven them up!

[blm]

12. I was thinking of GE.

Will help with second rounds, IMO.

23. Will take additional points

9. 'At a time when the economic deck has become so stacked against working

Americans that the gap between rich and poor is the highest in more than 50 years? At a time when a generation of war has stressed military families and sapped the treasury?”'

10. MUCH better her than Sanders.

Of course, the Register will be savagely attacked for this heresy.

[left-of-center2012]

13. We'll soon see how much it matters.

With the 2020 Iowa caucus just over one week away, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has another favorable Iowa poll under his belt — one in which he’s leading the field by 7 percentage points.

A new New York Times/Siena College poll, taken between January 20-23 and released Saturday, shows Sanders winning 25 percent of the vote in Iowa.

14. A very good choice and a very thoughtful justification by the Des Moines Register

This is a very good choice and it comes with a very thoughtful justification by the Des Moines Register.
"Those ideas are not radical. They are right. They would improve life in America, and they are generally shared by the other Democratic candidates, who bring their own strengths to this race."

[blm]

19. That part is key. The 'radical' claim is so overblown.

[brooklynite]

16. But Bernie was SURGING!!!

18. K and R

20. Congrats, Elizabeth Warren.

She earned it.

[calimary]

22. Congratulations, Senator Warren!

That's TWO big ones now!

[Nanjeanne]

24. Congratulations!

[True Blue Drew]

25. And we all know the POWER of Newspaper Endorsements in 21st-century America!

Does anyone really need me to use the icon??? Very well, then:

[renate]

26. It's so nice to see the congratulations from supporters of other candidates!

That sounds snarky because not everyone is congratulating her, but I mean it.

In the long run we’re all on the same side and we will sink or swim together. It’s nice to see a little bit of that comity and unity we had at the beginning of the primary season.

29. ✔️
