Sorta news…
Earlier this week in a conversation about the Sanders campaign and the behavior of his staff and supporters I referred to his campaign spokesperson as coming from the Island of Misfit Black Girls. It was a harmful and unnecessary comment and I apologize.

Meantime, Bernie just finished holding a rally in San Antonio. Potential voters waited in line for over a couple of hours!
Please continue the conversation in the comments. I’m adding a song by MJ, at the height of his bestseller, Thriller.
Tip jar for brothers and sisters in NV & TX!
Nothing changing at Decision Desk HQ. @Lookner changed his stream to coronavirus rather than the caucus.
The Hill folks haven’t launched anything yet — they indicated that they would after thing got going, but obviously it hasn’t reached that threshold.
So I am listening to a Brainlet livetream watching network news reporting. It is reminiscent of watching this sort of event with stoned roommates.
Decision HQ has jumped the reporting to 4.24% but is comfortable enough to put a big ole checkbox by Senator Sanders name.
First Jewish candidate to win, I bet.
Tonight is like France falling to the Nazis according to Chris Matthews.
wow eeek.
It’s a joy to watch the Monopolistic media having to be awakened. More like a wake.
One more by MJ:
LIVE: Bernie Wins Nevada
In his speech, Buttigieg congratulated Bernie for a strong showing, knowing that he and Bernie “celebrate some of the same ideals.”
He’s aiming most of his remarks at Bernie, not Biden. Continues to lie about Bernie’s MFA plan. And he would reorganize the economy in ways most Dems don’t approve of.
Very consultant-like rhetoric.
But it was effective with the media. Buttigieg grabbed some attention with it.
