I distinctly remembered that they wanted to backtrack from endorsing him so searched for something about it. This CNN article also mentions that he had gotten the endorsement before the primary. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/07/25/...party-democratic-house-caucus-race/index.html
Once again, after NH - total junk, worthless data from statewise polling. Seriously wtf is going on.
Both from California:
A 3rd one, not like the first two
@oneniltothearsenal
literally makes more sense to go with gut feeling. this is beyond stupid.
Polls have been absurd, even though it is too early to put much value on them. The only trend they are showing though, is that many voters seem to be loyal to Biden, despite the crazy shit he has been saying.
This is probably one of the consequences of 2016. Despite the then polls’ relative accuracy, people became ingrained with the ‘polls do not matter’ mindset, therefore affecting both the response rate and respondents.
A more plausible explanation is it’s simply still early in the process and people aren’t fully tuned into the candidates yet ( which has historically happened after Labor Day). We’re still 5 months off before the first votes are cast which is an eternity in the primary world.
As we get closer to the early state primaries the polls may be closer being accurate.
The generic polls are useless atm.

All that needs to happen is for Pelosi to call Crowley to have his name removed.
This may well split the vote.
But then again its the modern DNC.
How pray tell, would his name have been removed?
The WFP is trying to persuade Crowley to remove himself from the ballot by asking him to change his residency to Virginia where he keeps a home and sends his children to school, especially since Crowley has been a vocal supporter of Ocasio-Cortez, as he publicly promised prior to his stunning upset.
“[Crowley] stated on live TV that he would absolutely support my candidacy,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a Twitter post on July 12. “Instead, he’s stood me up for all 3 scheduled concession calls. Now, he’s mounting a 3rd party challenge against me and the Democratic Party- and against the will of [the WFP].”
Crowley seems like an absolute sleazebag tbh. A relic of the same era when Trump made a name for himself in NYC.
We have a lot of them in the Democratic party.
Its clear all this time no concrete action has been taken by the leadership to resolve this because they clearly see AOC as a threat to the establishment.
The DNC is really setting themselves up for a defeat in not just the Presidential but down ticket.
This thing can blow up if not resolved quickly.

If Warren happens to be the nominee I will vote for her unless the DNC does nothing about Crowley being on the ballot.
Why would he be on the ballot? He couldn't even win a primary.
Di Blasio gets out of the race. Nice
He is on the WFP Ballot.
Impressive
For 2020?
forgot he was in it.
Wish the other no hopers would follow his lead.
I would think that is what this fuss is all about.
Unless the report you linked is old.
It is. The original comment was regarding the WFP endorsing Warren over Bernie. Another comment was made about them endorsing Crowley instead of AOC in 2018. I posted the links to show that they did endorse him but that was most likely because he was a longtime incumbent and she was a nobody.Then she started making waves and got the nomination then they tried to get him off their ballot.
Making the AOC-Crowley matter comparable to Warren-Bernie is disingenuous. Least because AOC then had no traction when the Crowley endorsement was done. Nowhere close to the recognition of Warren, Crowley and Sanders.
fair enough.
The similarity though is that Warren is proving to be a corporate person as Crowley is.
I want to give Warren a chance in the hope she proves me wrong.
Bernie still has a good chance to be the nominee though.
Cory Booker planning to suspend his campaign if his fundraising does not improve: report
In other words that’s Corey Booker out then.
His name is right there
With any luck he will bow out before the next debate so we don't have to deal with any desperate zingers. Same with Castro.
Ann Selzer’s poll as well. Of course with the amount of feckery going around this time you can’t be absolutely sure, but hers is about as good as it gets in Iowa.
You could really say this about everyone that is not the consensus Top Three at this stage.
1st place - Harris
2nd place - Buttchug
14th place - Klobuchar
If biden wins and goes around in the GE chastising the youth for having it so good, as is his MO, i can see the democrats whinging about third party votes again when trump wins.
As i've said before, biden's argument around electablity is so shaky, if he can't win a primary in the first few states before Super Tuesday, i serious hope he sinks like a stone.
oh dear god can someone please help me im being pursued by grace
What type of grace?
A whole buncha WTF
