When Rick Perry Morphed Into Occasional-Cortex -- When The Ridiculous Becomes The Ludicrous -- May 21, 2019

From twitter today:


Isn't 49 MW like one giant Xcel Energy wind turbine in a farm field outside Tioga, ND?

Polling

Update

Later, 4:28 p.m. CT: apparently after I looked at the polling data earlier this morning, another set of numbers came out.

Biden is at 37.6 and Bernie is at 18.2.

Most interesting: Pocahontas creeps slowly toward 10%. I guess she's hoping she's on the dream ticket: Plugs / Pocahontas.

Meanwhile, both Buttigieg and Beto are flailing. Buttigieg's recent burst of excitement appears to have tempered, down to 6.6%, which is really pretty awful for someone who thought he was doing so well. But look at Beto, down to 3.2. None of this is statistically significant, of course, but the downward trend for Beto and the flailing of Buttigieg are noteworthy.

Most recently Buttigieg was unable to say he was against late, third-trimester abortions and even unable to come out against post-birth "abortions." A lot of Catholics vote Democratic and one wonders if he mis-stepped on this one.  It should be noted he is an anti-vaxxer -- although now he says he made a "huge mistake" with how he answered that question. Doesn't matter; we know where he stands. I wonder if he will come out and say he made a "really huge mistake" when he was unable to disavow post-birth "abortions."

Original Post

Means absolutely nothing but fun to watch.

Most recent polling.

Biden's lead over Bernie right at 20 points.

Bernie pulling below 20%. Biden polling just under 40%.

Beto drops a bit, from 3.8 to 3.5. Not statistically significant but the trend must be significant. I don't know. This is the first poll after Beto re-set, re-launched.

Hard to believe that Pocahontas is pulling just under 9%. Amy Klobucher is also fading.
