[tomm2thumbs]

A new Quinnipiac University Poll finds that Hillary Clinton has lost her lead in Iowa. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is now leading her 41 points to 40. CBS News correspondent Nancy Cordes reports on the Sanders Surge and how Hillary Clinton is now making digs at Bernie Sanders in response to his increase in popularity with voters.

Additionally, the Clinton camp notes they have 80 paid operatives in Iowa alone, nearly as many as Sanders employs NATIONALLY.

2. apparently money can't buy you love

If they are supposedly showing such great strength in paid operatives, where are the results?

3. maybe they're like the PIs Trump sent to Hawaii

To find Obama's birth certificate.

4. Of course she is making digs even tho he never will, it is her personality

She has made more money than she will ever spend and is raising billions of dollars to try and buy the Presidency.
But one can not buy class, either you have it or you don't, and watching Bernie refuse to go after her even after relentless attempts by Wolf Blitzer to try to get him to do so it appears it is one of the qualities he possesses.

She came off as rather unlikable in that clip in my eyes, I wonder how the eyes of others see her watching it.

5. She says it's "organization"

…that wins elections. Very telling. That's code for machine politics.

She goes on to say it's not "energy" that wins elections. That's code for passion, conviction, and enthusiasm.

She may as well say it's her "operatives" who will win it for her.

6. "I am a true Democrat."

True democrats earn the people's vote by remembering that they are there to help the people and not just the powerful.

Bernie is more in tune with that, and if he is a candidate for the 99% then he is more of a Democrat than those who want to dig at him now.

First they ignore you,

then they laugh at you,

then they fight you,

and then you win.

7. Translation:

"I am a real DLC Democrat."

8. She just doesn't get it, does she?

The country's political mood right now is not pro-establishment, big party machine politics.
