THIS JUST IN! TINY PETE JUST NEEDS ONE THING!


BULLY BOY PRESS &   CEDRIC'S BIG MIX  -- THE KOOL AID TABLE


TINY PETE HAS THE ELECTION SEWN UP.  THE MEDIA ANNOINTED BABY BOY WILL PULL THIS OFF AND THE PRESS WILL CARRY HIM TO THE FINISH LINE.  HE CAN DO THIS -- THEY TELL THEMSELVES OVER AND OVER -- HE CAN DO THIS.

NOW IF HE CAN JUST FIND SOME VOTERS.

SAYS JEFF BEZOS, "GIVE ME THE WHORE, I'LL PUT HIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE!"

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Starting in the United States where the race for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination continues.  At CNBC, Jake Novak wonders if any of the Democratic contenders actually wants to win the nomination?  Novak notes the corruption behind Hunter Biden's profiting from his father being Vice President and how everyone of the nominees wants to pretend it didn't happen:
One candidate who had the best chance to take advantage of this was Sen. Warren, who was asked point blank about the Hunter Biden issue at the very time she was unveiling her anti-corruption policy statement. But instead of making an issue about it, the usually assertive Warren meekly answered that she’d have to check her plan when she was asked whether the sweetheart deals the younger Biden got would be allowed in her administration.
Besides, there are many ways for Democratic candidates to pound Biden on this issue and still plausibly deny they’re somehow joining a narrative started by the Trump White House. For one thing, this issue was in question well before Mr. Trump even ran for office. In May 2014, ABC’s Jonathan Karl asked then-White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest a direct question about the apparent conflict of interest created by Hunter Biden’s position at Burisma. Earnest didn’t give much of a real answer.
But so far, no Democrat is taking this opportunity to prove they consider stamping out nepotism and other forms of political corruption more important than circling the wagons for the party and Biden. With President Trump sure to hit Biden hard for this issue if he does win the Democratic nomination, all this reticence will do is delay the inevitable.
Joe Biden is a career politician. Hunter Biden is a 49-year-old man. Declaring them both essentially off-limits for serious attack is basically a primary election death sentence for every Democrat running against Biden. I suspect all those other candidates probably know that, which means everyone supporting them is really wasting their time.


In a debate, Elizabeth Warren demonstrated she could withstand an attack; however, she's yet to demonstrate that she can fight herself in a debate.  Maybe that's why she's not higher in the polls?

The latest polls?

Domenico Montanaro (NPR) types:

Former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders lead the crowded Democratic field, pulling in together about half of the support of Democratic voters and Democratic-leaning independents, according to the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll.

Biden leads with 24%, followed closely by Sanders at 22%. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is third with 17%, followed by South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 13%, all together making up a clear top tier of four candidates.


First off, it's NPR-PBS NEWSHOUR-Marist Poll.  It's not NPR or PBS NEWSHOUR or Marist Poll so it's defined with dashes.  This is basic English grammar.  All those years ago, when we came online, people were still typing singer/songwriter to talk about Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Carly Simon, etc.  No.  It's singer-songwriter.  And thankfully that has been fixed.  These polls need to be fixed as well in how they are typed.

Second, the lede to the report is that Biden and Sanders are tied.   It can even be argued that Elizabeth Warren is not in a distant third.  No where in the text does Montanaro tell you that the margin of error for the poll is +/- 5.4%.  Possibly because he doesn't grasp that "/" means "or."
