Trending on Twitter this morning is the phrase “No one likes him”. This quote comes from Hillary Clinton, speaking about Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) in a new documentary as saying “He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It’s all just baloney and I fell so bad that people got sucked into it.” See one of the many tweets about this recently below, where Chuch Callesto posted: “SHE’S BAAAACK… Hillary Scorches Bernie: ‘Nobody Likes Him,’ No One ‘Wants To Work With Him!’..
SHE’S BAAAACK…

Clinton ran against Bernie in the presidential Democratic primary in 2016. Bernie was her only real competition, and some would argue he might have been the nominee if not for the superdelegates. In the documentary, Hillary declined to say whether or not she would throw her support behind Bernie if he were to become the Democratic nominee. This may be sour grapes on her part as some have speculated that Bernie may have cost her the 2016 election. Some have tweeted out pictures of Hillary working with Bernie before the pair rain against each other in 2016.

In January Bernie started to move up in the polls enough so that President Donald Trump took to Twitter about it. Bernie has since dropped some in the polls but maintains the second position.
Wow! Crazy Bernie Sanders is surging in the polls, looking very good against his opponents in the Do Nothing Party. So what does this all mean? Stay tuned!

During the last Democratic debate, Bernie and Sen. Warren (D-MA) gave their answers to a question about a claim Warren made, saying Bernie told her a woman couldn’t win. Bernie denied the claim. Warren’s response was” I disagreed… the only people on this stage who have won every single election that they’ve been in are the women.” She later confronted Bernie after the debate saying “I think you called me a liar on national TV.” Bernie seems to have just brushed it off. However, Monday Bernie apologized to Joe Biden for an article written by one of his campaign surrogates that claimed Biden has a “big corruption problem”. Biden replied in a tweet accepting the apology, as can be seen below:
Thanks for acknowledging this, Bernie. These kinds of attacks have no place in this primary. Let’s all keep our focus on making Donald Trump a one-term president. https://t.co/tmFbLm98xd

Iowa caucuses are set for Monday, February 3. Iowa is the first of the states to vote on who they will support at the democratic convention when nominating the Democrat presidential candidate. Real Clear Politics shows Bernie within three points of front runner Joe Biden as of January 20th.
With less than two weeks to go, all candidates are clamoring for the support they need for the nomination. Bernie, as well as Sen. Warren and Sen. Klobuchar (D-MN), will have to spend some of that time in Washington DC for the senate impeachment hearings that are set to begin today.
Bernie is facing other headwinds, although not covered by the larger news complex, James O’Keefe, and Project Veritas have uncovered more than one Bernie campaign affiliated persons saying shocking things such as how they think trump supporters should be put in gulags and insinuated possible support for political violence. A new video was just posted by O’Keefe today which can be seen below:
