Sanders takes lead over Clinton in Iowa

[Philly]

Gentlemen, please take your "lol trump sucks were so smart for knowing that" circle jerk OUT of my substantive Bernie sanders thread.

How do you know one of the people he chooses to make decisions for him won't use troops in some sandpit?

He is a totally unknown quantity and he knows literally nothing about any of the issues. He's vacilated between bombing syrian oil fields to doing nothing against isis. We have no idea what he would actually do if elected. We do know he's an international laughingstock and that he has no experience in walking the fine line needed to succeed in foreign affairs. We know he's an egomaniac with a tenuous grip on reality. We know he has never served in government in any capacity or studied governance in any manner (formally or informally). He is a clown through and through.

Fortunately he has no chance whatsoever of winning.

Newest fundraising numbers I saw show that Clinton raised 28M last quarter and Sanders raised 25.8M. Clinton already had a massive lead in terms of war chest but I think it's another troublesome sign that a guy who refuses to take any corporate money is almost keeping pace with her. And for Sanders it's rather astounding that he's able to raise this kind of money. I'm not saying he's going to win the nomination but I really think he's going to take some early states. Of course if Biden gets in who knows how the balance would shift.
