EXPANDED COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY ERIC GRENIER IN CBC NEWS
“Buttigieg is up, Biden is down in post-Iowa polls — and that has big implications”
Let's not join the American establishment’s bandwagon promoting Pete Buttigieg.
Sanders is clearly, by several measures, the favorite with crowds.
Pete Buttigieg almost represents a manufactured candidate, one manufactured by an establishment which much dislikes Sanders.
Custom-tailored to be smiling, well-dressed, civil, and polite, but he stands for almost nothing, certainly not where any of the great issues of the day are concerned, at home or abroad, but especially abroad.
Just look at Hillary Clinton's shabby recent public statements about Sanders, as with, “Nobody in Washington likes working with him.” The statements come from the very horse's mouth of Washington establishment.
And, I'm sorry to say, but just what happened in Iowa’s Caucus to give Buttigieg his "bump" going into New Hampshire is still not understood and may never be. Hillary’s people used half a dozen different dirty tricks and strategies in the various primaries of 2016 to hand her the Party’s nomination.
While many of them have been uncovered, they are not common public knowledge because the mainline press largely avoided publicizing them and establishment politicians never discuss them. If you can hide all the horrors of America’s Neocon Wars, how much easier a task to hide ordinary political dishonesty? Such is democracy in America
The Shadow computer application company is well connected with the Democratic establishment. Its CEO worked in Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.
