    Default The CNN Effect? Sanders Leads Biden in New Poll, Warren Fades Away

    CNN made it quite clear in this weeks debate that they prefer Warren over Sanders. They lead away with the sexist claim and the drama of whether or not he said a woman could never win. They listened to him deny the claim, and within 3 seconds claimed it happened anyway.

    So they made their choice, and it instantly hurts Warren. I think, IMO, that this whole story doesn't seem right, and I think she isn't believed by everyone and this effort backfired.

    The CNN Effect? Sanders Leads Biden in New Poll, Warren Fades Away

    When CNN and the Warren campaign opened their attacks on Senator Bernie Sanders, they undoubtedly thought playing the sexist-card would destroy his chances of winning the Democrat Party's presidential nomination. Sadly for them, the attack seems to have little to no effect. It may even have backfired. Sanders is now leading among registered Democrats and Independents.

    Oops.

    According to the latest Reuters/Ipsos national poll, Sanders leads former Vice President Biden by one percentage point: 20 percent for him versus 19 percent for Biden. This is truly a problem for the latter because his path to the nomination largely relies on his victory being "inevitable." Once voters start believing the race is actually wide open, he'll be in trouble.

    Hilariously, Senator Elizabeth Warren is in deep doo-doo. According to the poll, she can now only count on 12 percent support. That's pathetic, especially considering Obama's support for her campaign and her willingness to play it extremely dirty.

    Warren is trailed by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He's supported by 9 percent of registered Democrats and Independents.

    This is really becoming interesting, and not at all how I thought it would play out.

    By this point I thought Bernie would be the 3rd wheel in a Warren/Biden slugfest, but Bernie and Warren have switched roles.

    This is great news because, IMO, Warren is the only faint hope that they have.

    I hope Bernie beats out Biden. The crushing defeat that will ensue should serve to deep six this socialist stupidity once and for all.

    This is looking like Trump may surpass Reagan's landslide in '84, especially with Pelosi's monumental blunders with the impeachment farce.

    It will be interesting to see what happens in the House in November. The odds are pointing to a GOP lock.

    The nominee should offer Warren solace by offering to make her Director of the Department of Knitting and Crocheting.

    I could not bring myself to watch the last Dem debate. It does seem though that folks got real riled up at CNN's question to Bernie about anti-woman president, followed by his denial of such; then asking Warren how she felt when he said what he'd denied. She tried to play coy about being 'friends' then refused to shake his hand after the debate. This appears to have turned off some of the overlap between Warren and Saunders.

    Once again, CNN tried to insert itself in favoring one over another and it backfired. Many of the core Bernie supporters felt CNN, along with the DNC cheated Bernie against Hillary. They don't want a repeat and they are pushing back. It appears to be working. I'd say Warren's chronic lying helps, though Clinton did the same back when. Maybe Clinton's are just more practiced?

    At this point I feel it's Trump's to lose. He is his own worst enemy.

    CNN is terrible. First Brazile and cheating for Hillary, and now this crap. That woman looked SO stupid in the way she approached that questioning. And one of the 2 is liars, and I know who has a long history of lying!
