0%

0 percent

At the Iowa State Fair, they administer a decidedly nonscientific poll whereby fairgoers drop a corn kernel into a jar corresponding to their preferred presidential candidate. In this decidedly nonscientific poll, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio registered 0 percent. For whatever it’s worth, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg led the way with 24, 16 and 16 percent of the corn, respectively.

he's been a sad disappointment. For example...at the Jackie Robinson center for children where they run a day camp, it's been reported since the beginning of the summer, the deplorable conditions those children have been subjected to....crumbling infrastructure, rats, maggots falling from the ceiling and NO AC in this very hot summer. Yes, they were going to fix it blah, blah, blah. They finally said it was ready and turns out it can't pass a health inspection. The entire matter is a catastrophe, just like the subways and where is he, out in the midwest running for Prez.

In either 2008 or 2012, and then it was exposed that it was all about mobilizing your supporters and nothing about the support in the general population.

As I posted in the thread I started about this corny straw poll, Buttigieg organizers are asking people to go vote in the poll, telling them they're trying to beat Biden.
