“I think it’s really important that Bernie talks about democratic socialism while he does those things so that people can come to understand the opportunities of this whole set of politics, and this whole movement-building approach, which Bernie has, uniquely, in the primary,” Evan S. continued.
This Bernie supporter has no idea what he is talking about. He has fallen for the promises of free this & that. How well has democratic socialism worked for Venezuela. In the end there is no free anything only national bankruptcy and loss of freedom. https://t.co/DGhg3NUZYi — Isabella 🇺🇸 (@AmericaFirst150) February 12, 2020

thepoliticalinsider--2020-02-12--Sanders Takes Democratic New Hampshire Primary

There were so many factors at play in the Democratic New Hampshire primary on Tuesday it was hard to keep track .
But if current trends continue Sanders won a close night by 2-4 % over Buttigieg .
Not quite his 40 % shellacking of Hillary here in 2016 .
General turnout , internecine warfare , home region advantage , Biden bugging out at the last minute , youth turnout , moderate turnout , and even weather all played into the result .
Also telling was the efficient and timely reports of voting data .
When the smoke cleared socialist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good turnout combined with a close to home state advantage .
Though Buttigieg was on his tail all night .
24 delegates to the national convention were at stake .
They are parceled out by relative showing .
At this point , with over 75 % of precincts reporting , Sanders and Buttigieg have both earned 8 delegates each and Klobuchar 5 .
Sanders also won here in 2016 .
This result shoves the Democratic Party even harder to the left .
Which pleases the president .
But the Vermonter may not be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tuesday .
Nevertheless , this will propel Bernie to the top of the pack .
Buttigieg scored very well in second place , coming up close on Sanders ’ rear at the end .
Finishing third Klobuchar exceeded expectations and is now a top tier player .
Warren will stay in the race but she did badly tonight .
She ’ d be smarter to get out , endorse , and get a price for her approximately 10 % of support .
As for Biden , his dismal fifth place showing will only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or will leave , if he does not come in first in South Carolina on February 29th and one or two on Super Tuesday less than a week later .
As for the fallen by the wayside , Andrew Yang seems to be out of the race tonight and Tom Steyer is surely considering his options .
You can lose NH and still be president .
Bill Clinton lost the NH primary in 1992 , George W. Bush did the same in 2000 , and Barack Obama lost in 2008 .
All went @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Truman is the only incumbent president to ever lose a New Hampshire primary .
On the flip side others have won New Hampshire and gone on to lose the White House .
Pat Buchanan pulled that off in 1996 , John McCain in 2000 , Estes Kefauver in both 1952 and 1956 , Paul Tsongas in 1992 , Hillary in 2008 , and Sanders in 2016 .
So winning in New Hampshire tonight is not a sure lock on the Oval Office .
But it does get you closer to ultimate victory and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , know you are a force to be reckoned with .
It also usually assures you a nifty prime time speaking speaking slot at the convention .
Which means we ’ ll be listening to Bernie Sanders for at least about thirty minutes in July .
Because it ’ s Sanders it ’ ll seem like hours .
There could be worse things though , like listening to Liz Warren for any time at all .

When the smoke cleared socialist Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont won by good turnout combined with a close to home state advantage.

At this point, with over 75% of precincts reporting, Sanders and Buttigieg have both earned 8 delegates each and Klobuchar 5.

Nevertheless, this will propel Bernie to the top of the pack. Buttigieg scored very well in second place, coming up close on Sanders’ rear at the end. Finishing third Klobuchar exceeded expectations and is now a top tier player. Warren will stay in the race but she did badly tonight. She’d be smarter to get out, endorse, and get a price for her approximately 10% of support.

You can lose NH and still be president. Bill Clinton lost the NH primary in 1992, George W. Bush did the same in 2000, and Barack Obama lost in 2008. All went on win the big job. Harry Truman is the only incumbent president to ever lose a New Hampshire primary.
On the flip side others have won New Hampshire and gone on to lose the White House. Pat Buchanan pulled that off in 1996, John McCain in 2000, Estes Kefauver in both 1952 and 1956, Paul Tsongas in 1992, Hillary in 2008, and Sanders in 2016. So winning in New Hampshire tonight is not a sure lock on the Oval Office.
But it does get you closer to ultimate victory and lets voters, and more importantly donors, know you are a force to be reckoned with. It also usually assures you a nifty prime time speaking speaking slot at the convention.
Which means we’ll be listening to Bernie Sanders for at least about thirty minutes in July. Because it’s Sanders it’ll seem like hours. There could be worse things though, like listening to Liz Warren for any time at all.

George Conway , the Republican lawyer who is married to White House Senior Advisor Kellyanne Conway , penned a new oped for the The Washington Post this week in which he called for Donald Trump to be impeached again .

Both of them had testified against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inquiry .

He wrote that if Trump was impeached in the House for obstruction , “ there should be no doubt that punishing witnesses for complying with subpoenas and giving truthful testimony about presidential misconduct should make for a high crime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shifted to showing how much he personally hates Trump by claiming that the president will always put himself ahead of the American people , adding that his “ narcissism won ’ t allow him to put anyone else ’ s interests above his own , including the nation ’ s. ” “ And he will do it again , ” he wrote .
“ He did do it again by firing the Vindmans and Sondland .
He ’ s telling us he will do it again .
And no one can seriously doubt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ acquit.
” Conway ’ s wife Kellyanne was the first woman in American history to lead a presidential candidate to victory when Trump won in 2016 .
It ’ s sad that in the years since then , her husband has appeared to revel in humiliating her every chance he gets by publicly attacking her boss in the worst ways possible .
If a male conservative was doing this to his female liberal wife , the media would be up in arms over it .

George Conway, the Republican lawyer who is married to White House Senior Advisor Kellyanne Conway, penned a new oped for the The Washington Post this week in which he called for Donald Trump to be impeached again.
Conway wrote that it almost seemed as if Trump was “competing” for the “ignominious fate” of being impeached for a second time. He argued that Trump’s latest impeachable offense stems from removing Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman and Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland from office. Both of them had testified against Trump in the House’s impeachment inquiry.
As Trump removed Vindman from the National Security Council (NSC), he tweeted that he was “insubordinate” and “reported contents of my “perfect” calls incorrectly.”
Fake News @CNN & MSDNC keep talking about “Lt. Col.” Vindman as though I should think only how wonderful he was. Actually, I don’t know him, never spoke to him, or met him (I don’t believe!) but, he was very insubordinate, reported contents of my “perfect” calls incorrectly, &… — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 8, 2020
Conway sited this tweet as proof that Trump removed Vindman from the NSC as revenge for his testimony. He wrote that if Trump was impeached in the House for obstruction, “there should be no doubt that punishing witnesses for complying with subpoenas and giving truthful testimony about presidential misconduct should make for a high crime or misdemeanor as well.”
Conway then shifted to showing how much he personally hates Trump by claiming that the president will always put himself ahead of the American people, adding that his “narcissism won’t allow him to put anyone else’s interests above his own, including the nation’s.”
“And he will do it again,” he wrote. “He did do it again by firing the Vindmans and Sondland. He’s telling us he will do it again. And no one can seriously doubt it, even those who voted to acquit.”
Conway’s wife Kellyanne was the first woman in American history to lead a presidential candidate to victory when Trump won in 2016. It’s sad that in the years since then, her husband has appeared to revel in humiliating her every chance he gets by publicly attacking her boss in the worst ways possible.
If a male conservative was doing this to his female liberal wife, the media would be up in arms over it. Since Conway is just embarrassing his Trump-supporting wife, however, the leftist media has no sympathy for Kellyanne.
The hypocrisy of liberals never ceases to amaze.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-02-12--MSNBC Accidentally Interviews Trump Supporter in New Hampshire

MSNBC ’ s Katy Tur accidentally interviewed a supporter of President Trump in New Hampshire , who proceeded to trash socialism live on the network .
Tur was out in New Hampshire for MSNBC , covering the primaries for the network .
Standing in a car park near a voting station , she stopped one man for a short man-on-the-street interview .
“ Can you tell us who you voted for ?
” she asked him , not knowing she ’ d accidentally discovered a real man-on-the-street .
Tur , like many media pundits , seemed astounded that the man @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at that , ” she said .
“ Bernie Sanders is not appealing to you ?
” The man proceeded to launch into a criticism of socialism and Bernie Sanders .
“ The whole ideology would be destructive to the country , ” he said .
“ It ’ s anti-growth , it ’ s anti-family , it ’ s anti-American , and as a Roman-Catholic , it ’ s anti-life.
” The man stood in stark contrast to a bona-fide “ democratic socialist ” who claimed that the socialist label didn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all .
“ I ’ m a socialist , I stand by this brand 100 percent , you can see I ’ ve got my Democratic Socialists of America jacket , ” Evan S. , whose pronouns are “ they ” and “ them , ” said .
“ I think that this is really just the beginning .
… .
I think what people really respond to is big programs that generate wins and change their lives .
And I think as Bernie ’ s movement starts to put the pressure to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ high-deductible health plans , going away ; this medical debt that ruining people ’ s lives , going away… ” The Democrat political pundits couldn ’ t disagree more , and saw the man in New Hampshire ’ s reaction on MSNBC as proof that Sanders would easily lose to Trump .

MSNBC’s Katy Tur accidentally interviewed a supporter of President Trump in New Hampshire, who proceeded to trash socialism live on the network.
MSNBC Shocked That New Hampshire Man Isn’t a Bernie Supporter!
Tur was out in New Hampshire for MSNBC, covering the primaries for the network. Standing in a car park near a voting station, she stopped one man for a short man-on-the-street interview.
“Can you tell us who you voted for?” she asked him, not knowing she’d accidentally discovered a real man-on-the-street.
“Donald John Trump,” he replied with conviction.
Tur, like many media pundits, seemed astounded that the man was not a Democrat.
“Look at that,” she said. “Bernie Sanders is not appealing to you?”
The man proceeded to launch into a criticism of socialism and Bernie Sanders.
“The whole ideology would be destructive to the country,” he said. “It’s anti-growth, it’s anti-family, it’s anti-American, and as a Roman-Catholic, it’s anti-life.”

The man stood in stark contrast to a bona-fide “democratic socialist” who claimed that the socialist label didn’t hurt Sanders and his campaign at all.
“I’m a socialist, I stand by this brand 100 percent, you can see I’ve got my Democratic Socialists of America jacket,” Evan S., whose pronouns are “they” and “them,” said. “I think that this is really just the beginning. …. I think what people really respond to is big programs that generate wins and change their lives. And I think as Bernie’s movement starts to put the pressure to really improve things for people – these high-deductible health plans, going away; this medical debt that ruining people’s lives, going away…”
A Socialist Candidate Would Be Roundly Defeated
The Democrat political pundits couldn’t disagree more, and saw the man in New Hampshire’s reaction on MSNBC as proof that Sanders would easily lose to Trump.
“I like Bernie. He’s honest, he says what he believes,” said Ed Rendell, former Democratic governor of Pennsylvania. “But he can’t win because America is not going to vote for a socialist.”
An anonymous source, who was concerned of reprisals from hard-left activists, said that everybody they know is “terrified that Bernie or Elizabeth Warren is going to get traction,” because “not only would they lose to Trump if you put a socialist label on the Democratic party, we would lose the House.”

Intimidating judges by Barack? Check.
In 2012, as they were preparing to rule on the constitutionality of Obamacare, then-President Obama was accused of “threatening” the Supreme Court.
“I’m confident the Supreme Court will uphold the law,” Obama said, before warning that to overturn it would be “unprecedented” since, unlike the Justices, the law was passed by “democratically elected” members of Congress.
The Hill reported at the time:
Obama warned the high court against “a lack of judicial restraint,” in which “an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law.”
Where was Hillary to call out Obama as a “failed-state fascist” back then?
Likewise, Broaddrick and other victims of Bill Clinton have often accused Hillary herself of having intimidated witnesses to her husband’s alleged crimes and behaviors.

However, just as Obama ran unopposed, there is zero chance that Weld or anybody else would present a true challenge to Trump, so the President’s voters had equally little incentive to turn out.
So what he’s saying is that Trump got about 86% in the GOP primary. For context, here are the last 3 incumbent presidents running for re-election, and their vote percentages in New Hampshire: 1996 Bill Clinton 84%

Conservative Hollywood star James Woods took to social media over the weekend to lament the fact that First Lady Melania Trump has not been featured on a single magazine cover since moving into the White House , while her predecessor Michelle Obama appeared on twelve .
In the days since then , many social media users have agreed that this shows a clear bias against Melania and conservatives everywhere .
“ If you need any further proof of the shameless bias of the liberal mainstream media , the most stunning First Lady in American history has never graced our nation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ FLOTUS @ realDonaldTrump , ” Woods tweeted alongside a photo of Melania .
Michelle was featured on twelve magazine covers during her tenure as First Lady , including three covers of Vogue , according to Daily Mail .
Despite years of experience as a high fashion model , however , Melania has yet to be put on any cover at all as First Lady .
Many pointed out that this is an example of the bias against conservatives in the media .
“ Absolutely unconscionable .
She is the epitome of class and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one social media user tweeted , while another added , “ You ’ re exactly right .
They can ’ t stand that she ’ s so beautiful and conservative.
” “ If First Lady Melania Trump was a Democrat she would be on every cover of every magazine , every week , ” a third user tweeted .
“ The woman is absolutely breathtaking with a heart of gold to go with it .
They never show all the places she travels to try and help children do better in life.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out ?
It ’ s unprecedented that a First Lady would not be featured on a single magazine cover going into the fourth year of her husband ’ s term .
On top of that , anyone can see that Melania is a gorgeous woman who could still appear on magazine covers , even if she was not married to the president , which makes her absence from them all the more glaring .
Despite getting nothing but hate from the left since moving into the White House , Melania has continued to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and dignity .
Any magazine should be honored to have Melania on their cover , and it ’ s a disgrace that they continue to snub her because of their own biases .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-02-12--Adam Carolla: California Would Care About the Poor “If They Owed Them Money”

Adam Carolla told Tucker Carlson that California officials would care more about the homeless “ if they owed them money and could get money from them.
” Carolla : California “ Cares Greatly About People Who Have Checkbooks ” Adam Carolla argued that the increase of homelessness in California was due to the “ breakdown ” of the rule of law .
“ Nobody wants to enforce laws here , ” Carolla said : California and LA especially have broken the citizens into two groups .
There ’ s the groups that have money , and then there are the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and you ’ re in that group and you pay your taxes , you ’ ll get pulled over and get a ticket for not having a front licence plate… But if you ’ re homeless or illegal or not in the system , then you ’ re essentially an empty bag , and they can ’ t get money out of you .
In fact , they cost the city money .
They would care if they owed them money and they could get money from them , they care greatly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they ’ ve really divided the entire city into those who pay and those who can ’ t .
And if you can ’ t , they ’ re not that interested .
Carlson quipped that this attitude seemed to be the same one that a predator has when they “ look at their dinner ” – in that if there ’ s no meat on their bones , why bother ?
He pointed out that California is planning to charge poor people half-price for speeding tickets , and that seemed to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the poorest for any money .
Carolla agreed , and said the way the system is set up now – the “ ultra-rich in California ” don ’ t care about a speeding ticket , and if you ’ re ultra-poor , “ you ’ re untouchable because you can ’ t get blood out of a turnip.
” The middle class are the ones “ who gets the crap kicked out of them here in Los Angeles , ” Carolla said .
“ So we have a million rules for those who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have no rules for those who have no money and don ’ t play by the rules.
” “ We Started to Mistake Discipline… for Being Mean ” In the 20th Century , New Yorkers used to “ uplift immigrants ” and give to charities to improve their lot in life , Carlson noted , and asked Carolla why you don ’ t see this in Los Angeles in the 21st Century .
“ If you replace the homeless human beings with homeless dogs , everybody would [ help ] , ” Carolla @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wiring of people who live in Los Angeles .
Every woman I know , if there were dogs just sleeping out on the street in cardboard boxes or underneath freeway overpasses , they would be on the streets all day every day helping those dogs.
” Carlson asked Carolla what changed in California so that the “ human misery ” of the homeless camping all over the state was so visible now .
“ What changed is we started to mistake discipline in rule of law for being mean .
This sort of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” Carolla said : “ Don ’ t take that homeless guy .
Why are you making him go here or why are you arresting him or why are you incarcerating him or why are you putting him in this facility ?
LA has become this sort of good vibes place… Everyone is scared of being called a bad person… When [ the mayors and governors ] enforced laws , they weren ’ t bad people , they were doing what they were elected to do .
They ’ re doing their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ says , ‘ we ’ re going to get rid of this homeless camp , ’ it ’ s like , ‘ why are you being a mean person ?
Why are you being a bad person ?
’ This is a zeitgeist that is washing over this nation , that a teacher that is expelling a student for being unruly has now become the bad person , not the student , the teacher !
We ’ re turning on the rule of law .
We ’ re turning on the teachers , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mayors , the cops… We turned cops into the bad guys !
Adam Carolla is spot on about the situation in California right now .
A combination of a socialist haven that taxes and fines the middle classes out their ears and a society that lets illegal immigrants do as they please without enforcing the law because it ’ s “ mean , ” is a deadly one .
Californians need to pull their heads out of their rear-ends and start electing some conservatives to fix this mess , stat !

thepoliticalinsider--2020-02-12--Scared Democrats See Trump Landslide If Sanders Nominated

Wednesday morning the Financial Times reported that frightened U.S. Democrats are pushing the panic button over the potential Democratic nomination for the presidency of Vermont socialist Senator Bernie Sanders .
Sanders has the hard left lane to himself with the seeming crash and burn of the Warren effort .
He has done well in campaign fundraising , holds the affections of left wing youth , and will use his New Hampshire win as a springboard to Nevada and beyond .
But that doesn ’ t impress the few sane strategists still left in the Democratic Party .
“ I like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he says what he believes , ” Ed Rendell , former Democratic governor of Pennsylvania told the FT “ But he can ’ t win because America is not going to vote for a socialist.
” “ He is not a Democrat , ” said Kenneth Baer , a Democratic strategist and Obama official , “ Democrats don ’ t seem to be taking that seriously .
Nobody is actually questioning him .
Nobody is actually saying : these are his views on foreign policy , on how we deliver benefits to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what Democrats believe.
” MORE NEWS : What if Biden drops out ?
An anonymous source , who likely did not want to be identified for fear of hard left political revenge , said , “ Everybody I know is terrified that Bernie or Elizabeth Warren is going to get traction , and not only would they lose to Trump if you put a socialist label on the Democratic party , we would lose the House.
” The consternation of certain Democrats has become so serious that party officials are struggling to come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ march over a cliff .
Thus , an idea is being floated by Dem apparatchiks that the whole Sanders boom is a cleverly masterminded trap by Dem moderates to give the hard left enough rope to hang themselves in 2020 , since Trump will win anyway .
Then the Bolshies will be blamed for the loss , will lose strategic credibility , and Pelosi will have the weapon she needs to purge the party leadership of them .
Most capable analysts will tell you America is a center right or center left country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Just as a hard right type would have a difficult time appealing to the 10 % of moderate swing voters who decide national elections , so would a hard leftist like Bernie Sanders .
The Democrats may find that out to their worse consternation in November .

“He is not a Democrat,” said Kenneth Baer, a Democratic strategist and Obama official, “Democrats don’t seem to be taking that seriously. Nobody is actually questioning him.
