Reporters Ask Sanders About Rumors of Planned Voter Fraud in Iowa to Benefit Him; Sanders Blames David Brock for the Rumors

And he questions why someone would believe David Brock's claims, noting, sarcastically, Brock's "integrity."

"Really? Is that what they’re saying?" Sanders shot back, heatedly.
"Based on what did they say that? Based on David Brock's long history of honesty and integrity? The man who tried to destroy Anita Hill? Is this where this is coming from?" the 74-year-old bellowed.

The rumor concerns the Sanders' campaign allegedly scheming to bus out-of-state students into Iowa to rig the caucuses against Hillary.

James Taranto noted that Hillary Clinton has before told us all that any Republican concerns about voter fraud were just all racist fearmongering.

But apparently now, when she's got this rumor going, it's something that should concern us all.

28 There is no atrocity or outrage you could accuse the Democrats of doing to win an election that would even raise my eyebrow. Sure, they could have done it, of course they could. In just the last 10 years they've defrauded several elections, ran a corpse, replaced a candidate long after the deadline, and packed the ballot boxes with felons. They have repeatedly "discovered" crates of ballots in trunks of cars and hotel rooms to get past a close election. They don't even have any shame about it because they know the press will totally cover for them.

MSFT sent a shit-ton of expensive goodies to Achmed The Boy Genius Clockmaker. The individual who delivered the merchandise posted a photo on Twitter of little Achmed beaming widely, surrounded by all his spendy new Redmond swag.

49 I wouldn't put that sort of thing past Bernie's campaign. He has a history of borderline vote fraud. He won his first election in VT, for mayor of Burlington, in a similar manner. He'd run for office a few times and failed miserably. In '81, when running for Mayor, his campaign went up to the University of Vermont campus and went around getting out-of-state students to register to vote in VT using their dorm rooms as their home address. Hundreds of such students registered without anyone checking if they'd already registered in their home State. Bernie won that year by a handful of votes.

(a) Sanders trips and doesn't laugh it off and get up like BobDole did in 1996 and/or
(b) Hillery has a serious medical problem (faints more than once in public) suddenly develop.

I also wonder: if it looks pretty clear that Trump will get the nomination and looks like he has a really good probability of winning in November and has unified the party behind him (he does know something about making deals), will the IRS or some other Obama Admin dept or agency suddenly announce a criminal investgation of Trump?

And much of the reason he has appeal is not just because of the indoctrination but also because the GOP since Pappy Bush has done absolutely NOTHING to counter the commie propaganda.

I agree with J J: Bernie's followers are probably overloaded with the ideas that you can give away a lot of stuff by making the rich 'pay their fair share'

Never mind that a lot of the rich might think it's not worth making all that money if the gov't is taking more than half of it away in taxes. Progs tend to believe that people are just going to continue acting the same way no matter how things change. Anyway, standing on line for bread and milk is really no worse than standing on line for movie tickets, is it?

What a maroon. It would require that he would actually have to show up, share the bench with others, actually do some work, and no more escaping on AF1 for million dollar vacations. Plus those little jaunts to 'Man's Country' might become a little more problemic for him.

No it's not. It's not, and this idea that most of America is comprised of rednecks and hoodrats too stupid not to drink racing fuel, that 70% of Americans can't carry a decimal point, is the cornerstone of credentialist liberalism.

People ARE smart enough to buy their own health insurance, to plan their own retirements, to make decisions about what to eat and whether to smoke, to decide what kind of light bulbs they want to buy. And they'll get even BETTER at those things if they're given the responsibility of making those choices.

The country would be better off if a random assortment of lottery ticket buyers were put in positions of power than the hateful effeminate courtesans currently running Washington DC.

Even more perplexing is that McCarthy had little to do with the Hollywood Blacklist, McCarthy was after commies in government, specifically State and Defense. It was the House and HUAC that went after Hollywood, but all they really did was expose them publicly. The Blacklist was solely a product of THE STUDIOS, private companies who decided that it was in their best interests to sever ties with the overt commies in their midst.

"Donald Trump's ground game here has expanded dramatically in the last couple weeks before the caucuses, with a massive phone bank that outgrew campaign headquarters and now operates out of a nearby suite of offices, according to sources close to the campaign."

"...is one sign that his ground game may have caught up with or even surpassed the Cruz campaign."

"Laudner has ramped up his ground game in Iowa dramatically," said Mr. Crow. "He had such a massive phone center that he had to open up separate offices away from the campaign offices just for the phone center - and it is packed with volunteers."

Odd. While she does have a prominent chin, I'd have thought the urge would be for different prominences . . .

This time we have our own blank canvas. Bernie Sanders is a socialist beacon, he is not a consensus candidate. Our country is full of socialists (just ask one), and a media climate where they shape and lead the conversation. But this is not some "historic first" candidacy, this is a crusty old man who's even weirder and less telegenic than Donald Trump.

I think he's going to get the Dem nomination, and I agree with you we need to not underestimate him. But if he is able to beat ANYONE for the White House than it really is time to start breaking shit

That's not really the issue. Bernie has nothing to hide. He's an out and proud and loud socialist. What's there to vet? It's not like he has some secret plan to spend $20T on free shit. His plan is on his website for all to see.

Oh he went to Moscow for his honeymoon. Meh. Whatever, cold war's been over for almost 30 years. Nobody really give a fuck about hat anymore. Not saying they shouldn't but they don't.

322 So Trump doesn't do email. If you email him, someone prints it for him so he can read it.

Or maybe he doesn't read, so your message gets read to him from the paper that someone else printed it on.

Or maybe he doesn't listen, either, so your message does not get through.

But we know he either reads or listens, because how else does he know the poll numbers, or what Megan said about him?

And while he does not do email, he for sure uses Twitter, or at least dictates his tweets to someone who uses his account for getting out the latest piece of feed.

Which brings up this question. If he becomes POTUS, will we all be subject to a deluge of tweets, as we do now, giving us all his daily polling numbers on any topic at all, and where he intends to speak tonight, and all the syrupy thank-yous he tweets to his admirers?

And his third-grade-level drivel when he goes on the warpath against someone who has offended him?

There's no such thing as communism. The nazis were the national socialist worker's party. The Russians were the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. There is no communism. There is only socialism. It is now global socialism.

I totally agree with you. And we could all do with a reminder of just what it is we're fighting. Everyone should read Solzhenitsyn. But call it what it is. And point that out to any socialist you meet.

Now? Is anything really out of the question any more? Actually, esp. since 2012, is ANYTHING really out of the question?

I don't see a bottom in national political terms. With effectively collapsed institutional guard-rails, 52% really now CAN run the country, and most of our lives.

347 Sanders couldn't possibly pull much more than a couple of states, mostly the deepest blue. (Which should be red for the commie Bernie )

348 Muslims still weep over the loss of Andalusia in the Battle of Tours and Democrats are still bitter over the exposure of Anita Hill as a liar. Some things never change.

349 Hmm...getting dirty. Sanders better watch his back. If he isn't meticulous, it's over for him.
