Iowa's last major cattle call before the February caucuses shows one thing. “Most people are undecided,” said Jim Eliason, a local Democratic party chairman.

The Democrats of Iowa flooded noisily into Des Moines on Friday night as part of their unique role in choosing America’s presidential nominees.The 13,000 who filled the local Wolves’ basketball arena, and thousands more who marched in freezing rain outside, were yearning for a replay of the 2007 dinner where an upstart young senator named Barack Obama electrified Iowans and jump-started his presidential campaign.

“Most people are undecided,” Jim Eliason, the party chairman in Buena Vista County, told me as he dined on chicken nuggets. “They haven’t settled down.”“I’m undecided between Joe Biden and Pete,” said Denise Weiss, a bridal shop owner from Barnum. “Some of the other Democrats are a little bit too progressive for me.”

Polls bear it out too. A New York Times/Siena College survey last week found a four-way tie, with Warren, Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders and Biden tightly bunched at the top. And two-thirds of voters said they might change their minds before they caucus in the first major contest of the election season. “Joe Biden tells the truth. It comes from the heart. That’s why we all love him,” she added. “But I worry about his stamina. I worry about the mistakes.”

Like the democrats want to be in power when social security has to cut benefits.

I heard they found a wet piece of cardboard on the side of the road that might have a chance.

They won’t find one

Yang is setting up shop there. They'll find him soon enough.

Trump is “dead-weight”. His priorities are more for personal gain than public good.

Warren/Sanders would be a strong workers ticket

Biden can beat Trump easily. Biden would be a great one term President.

Yes. This is called a primary.

What does that say about our country? Trump is one of the great charlatans in history.

Good luck with that! Lol

In Iowa, Democrats Offer Stark Choice for Party’s FutureThe leading Democratic presidential contenders, bunched together in the latest Iowa poll, sought to separate themselves from the pack in a high-stakes audition Friday night. Yes, they're separate! They're ALL in the NO pile! VoteIndependent2020 Very encouraged by caliber of Democrats in this race. Not all will be presidential but many would be outstanding in cabinet level jobs. Together with an excellent ticket they would make a very strong government. I was encouraged. This may - probably will - rub people the wrong way so whatever. I don't care how good a policy a candidate has. It can be the best policy proposal ever. There is but one litmus test. Can they beat Trump!
