Guess who’s back…
I had to double check and make sure this wasn’t an old article. It’s not, sadly.

It’s remarkable that CNN is featuring this giant, banner headline. Glad to see that mainstream media is trumpeting this message. Yes, we want him gone, gone, gone.
I just had to do a screen capture to convey the enormity of it!
If you click on the screen capture above, it will take you to CNN’s live stream of the primaries, but not to the relevant section. You’ll need to scroll down to the section titled, Exit poll shows 81% of voters are “angry” about the Trump administration.
If you want to cut right to the chase, the article below describes the exit poll the banner headline is referencing. I’m stoked that CNN chose to take a single metric out of the poll and blow it up into a massive headline on their home page (above). Hope it stays in place for many hours.
Democratic voters turning out for Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary say they are looking for a candidate who can beat President Donald Trump over one who agrees with them on the issues by a roughly 2-to-1 margin, according to early exit polls conducted for CNN.
Six in 10 Democratic voters in New Hampshire prioritize a nominee who can beat Trump. Yet Democrats seem split over what qualities a candidate ought to have.
Just over a third say that they sought a candidate who could bring needed change, while about the same amount said they were seeking one who could unite the country. Far fewer prioritized finding a candidate who cares about people like them, and the share who said they were looking for a fighter landed in single digits.
Still, more than 8 in 10 who voted today say they plan to vote for the Democratic nominee in November regardless of who it is, while just 1 in 8 say they won’t.
Eight in 10 New Hampshire Democratic primary voters are angry at the Trump administration, the highest share of voters from the non-incumbent party who are angry stretching back to 2000, according to CNN exit polls. Six in 10 Republican primary voters were angry at the Obama administration in 2016, and 40% were angry in 2012. Meanwhile, 62% of Democratic primary voters were angry at the Bush administration in 2008, and 46% were angry in 2004.

The Big Roadblock For Bernie Sanders’ Agenda
“A president can’t wave a magic wand and pass any legislation they want,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) told HuffPost this week.
Ocasio-Cortez ― one of the most outspoken advocates for Medicare for All ― said she thought voters understood there was an “inherent check” on the president’s ability to actually change things like our health care system. And she argued that the realities of governing were actually an argument for someone like Sanders, as he’d be able to push Democrats and resulting changes further left.
But Ocasio-Cortez is also realistic about how far even a President Sanders could actually move Congress.
“The worst-case scenario? We compromise deeply and we end up getting a public option. Is that a nightmare? I don’t think so,” she said.

Fascinating article about Bloomber’s network of spending and what charities Bloomberg’s helped. He does put his money where his mouth is…health and welfare, community development, Environment, helping educational organization, Anti-NRA positions, and nationally where he’s distributed wealth.

I only ask because Bloomberg is the sort of asshole that would throw this to Drudge just for the fastest dissemination possible. His online campaign is a cabal of misinformation giants from what I’ve been reading.

This article is a bit worrying:
How does he hope to get majority support with this background?

Uh oh…some potential screw-ups with the Nevada Caucus, as the volunteers are not fully trained on Ipads. #IowaCaucusRevisited
Anxiety is rising over the possibility of another tech-induced meltdown at the Nevada Democratic caucuses on Saturday.
In interviews, three caucus volunteers described serious concerns about rushed preparations for the Feb. 22 election, including insufficient training for a newly-adopted electronic vote-tally system and confusing instructions on how to administer the caucuses. There are also unanswered questions about the security of Internet connections at some 2,000 precinct sites that will transmit results to a central “war room” set up by the Nevada Democratic Party.
Some volunteers who will help run caucuses at precinct locations said they have not been trained on iPads that the party purchased to enter and transmit vote counts. Party officials scrambled to streamline their vote reporting system — settling on Google forms accessible through a saved link on the iPads — after scrapping a pair of apps they’d been planning to use until a similar app caused the fiasco in Iowa two weeks ago.
The volunteers also said the party has not provided sufficient training on how to use the Google form that will compile vote totals, a complicated process in a caucus.
