If looks were so important, Martin O'Malley would be winning

This is so exciting! It's literally a coin toss that will help decide who comes out on top and could change the race momentum for either of themClinton keeps slim edge over Sanders in latest Iowa Poll
Hillary Clinton has kept a tight grip on her slim lead over Bernie Sanders in the waning hours leading into the Iowa caucuses, a new Iowa Poll shows. Clinton is the top pick for 45 percent of likely Democratic caucusgoers, with Sanders at 42 percent, The Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics poll shows. Clinton's support is up 3 percentage points from earlier this month, and Sanders' is 2 percentage points higher.
This race is as tight as can be, said David Axelrod, a national political strategist. If Bernie Sanders had momentum headed into the final month, the race now is static and essentially tied."
It comes down to who can grind it out on the ground on Monday night, said Axelrod, a senior political commentator for CNN and an architect of Barack Obama's successful 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns. The results are within the polls margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
"Turnout is everything," Axelrod said. "If turnout is within a normal range, Hillary likely wins. If it goes higher, approaching 200,000, it will be a good night for Bernie."
It looks like it's gonna be a tight race in Iowa on Monday!

Yeah, I generally agree with you, but voting for a really right-wing Republican is not the answer. I disagree with you about not blaming Republicans. They're almost never held accountable, especially by the media. The media is too scared of being labelled 'liberal' so they try to portray everything as 50/50 when they're clearly not. Even just comparing Interview and debate questions that politicians get depending on their party.
-
It really amazes me that a significant amount of people would vote for those far-right Republican candidates. Obama has repaired a lot of the damage on the world stage caused by 8 years of Republicans before him. Hillary was also a big part of fixing those relations. The fact that the US President not only affects Americans, but the rest of the world, highlights how irresponsible it would be to elect one of those Republican candidates
-
I love when the Clinton campaign accuses Bernie of going negative and Bernies all like "I haven't gone negative. I'm just contrasting with facts." Hahahaha
-
According to recent South Carolina polls, Hillary's lead has been cut in half by Bernie Sanders. Feel the Bern!
-
It will be very interesting if this turns into a Trump vs. Sanders race. Either way you would have a candidate that will significantly change everything
-
Also, many Republican voters at least respect Bernie because it's not just Democrats that favour his positions. I also disagree with Nightshade that he would lose against Rubio. Rubio is as establishment as it comes and that is what people seem to be going against this electionOr maybe they don't hold anything as such against Bernie, or else they would bring it, why only weaken Hillary?
-
I feel such a mix day-to-day over whether I'm for Hillary or Bernie based on their chances. I mentioned the other day that the south will be a big problem for Bernie, however, if he wins both Iowa and NH then that will be significant. Hillary is still up high in South Carolina, but Bernie is slowly catching up as recent polls show in SC. The Nevada results will be a good indication as well. Hillary does not have this in the bag, there is no clear winner in Iowa and a win for Bernie there will change everything. It's going to be a tight race all the way to the convention
-
Just out of curiousity, but does Madonna historically only start endorsing after the Democratic nominee has been chosen or does she also endorse a candidate during primaries as well?
Update: I saw that she endorsed Hillary during the 2008 Primaries so I guess it's probably the same this time around.
-
When you think about South Carolina and Super Tuesday with 20 states voting being so heavily in Hillary Clinton's favour, I'm not sure where that leaves Bernie. Even worse if she can pull off an Iowa win. She won New Hampshire last time, but that will likely go to Sanders
-
The Revolution isn't going to come.
Sanders has all of these grandiose ideas, but he has no sense of how to implement them effectively. His record in Congress is proof of that. He'd be a divider in the Oval Office whereas the country needs a uniter. Fifteen trillion in new spending ? Seriously ? Obama could barely get much, much more modest programs passed and that was with a large Democratic majority. So he'd spend most of his single-term in office tilting at windmills. My prediction. 
Yeah I know I was just poking fun at it all
Besides, where I live a lot of what Bernies supports has already been around for decades. The best dem nominee with the best chance to be able to get things done and unite the country would be.... Martin O'Malley hahahaha -
I certainly hope when Bernie wins the Dem nomination, all of you will just come into this thread to FEEL THE BERN. We get it, Hillary will lose. It's going to change shit.
-
I'm here for Bernie's side eye game when Hillary was misrepresenting him haha
-
I was just wondering who you guys would prefer to get the Democratic nomination with Hillary vs. Bernie? Even though I'm not American, I will endorse either Hillary or Bernie if they get the nomination. I won't pick between the two because that's up to you Americans to decide. I'm going to be watching the upcoming debate closely and cannot wait! Even though there's been a lot of negativity surrounding her, I'd be happy if Hillary wins. Bernie is obviously the best progressive candidate, however, the establishment may win this battle even though progressives will win overall. I don't think Hillary will be too bad and I say that as someone who from late 2013 until September 2015 experienced the worst Prime Minister in Australian history.
-
I've been thinking, Bernie Sanders has a really good chance at getting the nomination. I know what the polls are saying, but a lot of those polls only include those who voted in the past two presidential elections. That means that people under 26 are not being counted. Millenials are one of his biggest demographics and Hillary seems to be getting nervous trying to be misleading and condescending about him and his positions/plans. People thought Hillary Clinton was inevitable in 2008 and that turned out to be very untrue. I think Bernie Sander's base and willingness to vote have been extremely underestimated and I'm started to seriously think he will become the 45th President of the United States.
I'm really looking forward to see what happens since it's a little more exciting than following the 2016 Australian General election haha

Last night for Trump. Pulling in Madonna '85 crowds.
That's a lot, but it doesn't even compare to the numbers Bernie Sanders is getting. If Trump is pulling in Madonna '85 crowds, than Bernie is pulling in Madonna '90 crowds
-
What if she directs a film and releases a soundtrack along with it. Would that count?
-
Imagine if she just releases the concert footage exclusively on Tidal hahaha
-
He's not going to be president but he's done a lot of damage and has the potential to do even more until then

I'm just going to make a prediction
Republican nominee: Ted Cruz
Democratic nominee: Hillary Clinton
It's still really early and I may change my mind later, but I think they are the most likely possibility at the moment. There's no way they are going to allow Trump to be nominated, even if it means going against Republican voters.
-
I think it's going to be Australia as sort of a peace offering after a 23 year absence. Plus, Madonna and Guy are really looking forward to the Australian shows which could be a contributing factor.

Something about that image reminds me of the lyrics to S.E.X. and I can't figure out why. I think because in part of the song it sounds like she's wearing a grill

Do you guys think that Bernie will appoint Elizabeth Warren as his Vice President? I can see that happening, or at the very least, having her as a part of his cabinet
