Lyrics
She'll lie and steal and cheat
And beg you from her knees
Make you thinks she means it this time
She'll tear a hole in you, the one you can't repair
But I still love her, I don't really care
When we were young
Oh oh, we did enough
When it got cold
Ooh ooh, we bundled up
I can't be told
Ah ah it can't be done
It's better to feel pain, than nothing at all
The opposite of love's indifference
So pay attention now
I'm standing on your porch screaming out
And I won't leave until you come downstairs
So keep your head up, keep your love
Keep your head up, my love
Keep your head up, my love
Keep your head up, keep your love
And I don't blame ya dear
For running like you did, all these years
I would do the same, your best believe
And the highway signs say we're close
But I don't read those things anymore
I never trusted my own eyes
When we were young
Oh oh, we did enough
When it got cold,
Ooh ooh we bundled up
I can't be told,
Ah ah, can't be done
Keep your head up, keep your love
Keep your head up, my love
Keep your head up, my love
Keep your head up, keep your love
Head up, love
Head up, love
Head up, love
Head up, love

What I learned watching Bernie and Biden for hours on end
Politico
Biden is a creature of the Senate. Sanders is a creature of the campaign trail. Seeing them back to back in these two settings clarifies the choice.

Though hes adjusted the pitch somewhat to respond to critics, the heart of Bidens speech still includes a paean to the old Senate where relationships matter more than anything else and whats most important is to never, as he puts it, question a colleagues motives, only their judgment. Biden even quoted columnist David Brooks about restoring Americas moral fabric. On Wednesday, he added a specific criticism about the dangers of attacking a fellow legislator as being, for example, in the pocket of an industry. Once you get personal, he insisted, the deals cant get done.
This is the flip side of Sanders flaw. Sanders eschews relationships and deal-making to a fault, while Biden fetishizes them to a fault. Sanders, according to Hillary Clintons recent harsh assessment, is someone that nobody likes and nobody wants to work with in the Senate, but in Iowa he has raucous crowds and actual rock stars campaigning for him. Biden is a beloved figure among Democrats in the Senate and has trouble rousing an audience in Iowa.
In the midst of an impeachment trial that is about a plot to define Biden as personally corrupt in the pocket of big Ukraine! Bidens argument about relationships sounded hollow. He seems to recognize this. In Council Bluffs, Biden quickly pivoted to a perhaps more effective pitch about how the Republican Party was trying to destroy him because it believes he could beat Trump.
Theyre trying to smear me to stop me, he said. This time the crowd applauded.

Sanders gets the frontrunner treatment
Politico
Leading in most Iowa polls, Sanders is suddenly faced with the dilemma of how to respond to attack ads from all sides.

DES MOINES, Iowa Bernie Sanders is the frontrunner in Iowa and now hes being treated like it.
The Vermont senator is being pounded on television in the first-in-the-nation caucus state from both sides, with attack ads airing by a pro-Israel Democratic super PAC and a conservative dark-money group.
Faced with the dilemma of how to respond in the face of bombs dropped on him days away from the Iowa caucuses, the Sanders campaign is mostly sticking to pocketbook issues for now.
Sanders TV ads in the state remain centered on Medicare for All, a major focus of his campaign, as well as womens rights and his movement. Thats a different approach than that of Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren, who are making more explicit appeals to electability in the final sprint before Iowa.
