Loyalty is admirable, but misplaced in this incidence. Bernie's heart attack has doomed him among all but his most ardent supporters. It's time to look around for choice #2.
Bernie has already recovered all his poll numbers, and they are inching up, while Warren has suffered a big decline. They are 3 points apart now, and Bernie has the most money and enthusiasm behind him. There will be no choice #2. The top 3 will remain so. I don't see why Harris (who is declining in the polls) or Klobuchar (who has never caught on) would have any chance to break out. Neither of them have the slightest charisma or likability and they do not give the impression of being leaders.
Bernie is the only hope for a progressive president this time around. Warren and the others either can't win, or aren't progressive, or both. So, although Bernie may indeed not win, for those with hopes for a progressive president elected in 2020, loyalty is not misplaced.
As to who will take Iowa, I have no idea. Food for more thought and research, perhaps! I have already stated that it will not be Mayor Pete, so I am stuck with that prediction! My neck is stuck out
As for Iowa, the latest poll on Nov. 6 by Quinnipiac says:
Warren 20, Buttigieg 19, Sanders 17, Biden 15, Klobuchar 5, Harris 4, Steyer 3, Gabbard 3, Yang 3, Booker 1, O'Rourke, Bennet 1
To me, this indicates that the race between the top 4 will be so close that Iowa will make little difference.
