Dear CV Friend,
“A total fiasco.”
Three years to prepare… and the whole world watching.
Yet the Iowa Democratic Party still cannot determine who won
their statewide caucus last night!
Remember, this is the same party that wants to take over our entire national healthcare system and remake our
economy to control the global climate!
A lot has happened in the past 24 hours.
Here’s some quick takes:
- Establishment Democrats did
everything they could to rain on the Bernie Sanders victory parade. From delaying the impeachment (keeping Sanders in D.C.), to scheduling the State
of the Union tonight… and even some rumblings that the Iowa “software glitch” may not have been accidental after all. TAKEAWAY:
"Software" is the least of Democrats’ worries at the moment.

While the reporting is unofficial, it looks like Biden will finish in a distant FOURTH PLACE. This is catastrophic for the
so-called "moderate” former Veep. He’ll be crushed again in New Hampshire and likely in Nevada before hoping for a comeback
in South Carolina. But billionaire Mike Bloomberg just announced he is doubling his massive TV spending, and will be waiting for Biden on Super
Tuesday. The Biden path to victory is closing by the day.
- GOOD NEWS FOR TRUMP? A new Gallup Poll
out this morning has Trump’s approval rating at 49% -- an 8-point jump from the last survey, and the highest level of his presidency. This is
fresh evidence that impeachment has backfired on Democrats. Trump will have the big stage tonight for the State of the Union.
And tomorrow, the Senate is expected to formally acquit him of the impeachment charges.
- One of the
bigger surprises from last night was low turnout. Despite record amounts of spending by campaigns, Democratic voters didn’t turn out as
experts predicted -- and nowhere near records set in 2008. Come November, heavy turnout fueled by anti-Trump enthusiasm will be essential
for Democrats. But if Iowa is any indication, they’re in big trouble.
- South Bend Mayor
Pete Buttigieg and Vermont socialist Senator Bernie Sanders appear to be the top two finishers. You might remember
the news story last week when Buttigieg refused to offer even an olive branch to pro-life members of his own party. For his part, Sanders proudly
champions radical totalitarian socialist policies, including banning all private health insurance, ending religious liberty protections, and publicly
funded abortion to control “overpopulation.”
What does this all mean?
Left-leaning Politico summed it up this way: “It’s difficult to
imagine a worse position for the Democratic Party nine months ahead of Election Day.”
In the post-Watergate era, only two presidents have
been denied reelection: Jimmy Carter in 1980 and George H.W. Bush in 1992. And they both had a big recession to contend with.
According to Gallup this
morning, 63% of Americans approve of the economy.
Tonight the President is expected to champion school choice.
Wind at his back?
Seems
so.
