The first in the Democratic primaries for the presidential elections in november and find out on Monday instead of in Iowa. With a victory in the state for candidates and a good pick-me-up for the rest of their campaign of giving.
Iowa is a small state, and it has a lot of electors are to be forgiven. The population is about 90 percent white, it is relatively out of date and a little urban. Iowa is not a good demographic to reflect that of the United States of america (or the Democratic Party as a whole.
However, the primaries in Iowa is important. Especially since it’s the first one, and that it has been around since 1972, and so on. Win in Iowa, this means an immediate boost to the credibility of the candidate. Also, the media flock to join in, so if you are in the Iowa win, you can look forward to a lot of free publicity.
These are the four who are Democrats, that the top eyes: Bernie Sanders, 78
as a Democratic socialist. Nominee for president in 2016. Former mayor, city of Burlington, Vermont. Since 1990, the House of Representatives and since 2006, the us Senate (as an independent senator affiliated with the Democratic group). Is currently in the lead in most polls in Iowa.
now that He has grown from a relatively unknown politician to be the symbol of the revolutionary left. He has been very consistent in his views. As a populist takes on the Freak of the political and economic establishment in the novel: he wants to be that wealth is more equitably distributed. Sander’s promises to, inter alia, an increase in the minimum wage, a social insurance scheme for everyone and free of charge higher education. It is particularly popular among young people.
finally, Socialism is still a word that a lot of Americans are scares, even the moderate Democrats. Sanders’ support for the radical left-wing regimes in South America, is a politically sensitive issue.
The senator from Vermont, has made Hillary Clinton a challenge during the primaries in 2016. There are the Democrats, who have him to blame Donald Trump for the win and to have delivered, and the Democrats, who think that He was gepiepeld by their party, and He makes that internal division would like to.
as Joe Biden is, He is not piepkuiken and more. He highlighted the fact that during the campaign, had a heart attack to get out – a short time later, he was already on the way.
and Joe Biden, 77,
executive vice president under Barack Obama’s administration, and two-time presidential candidate. It sat for almost four years in the u.s. Senate for the state of Delaware. Nestled in the polls in Iowa, a few (percentage)points behind Sanders. He’s still the favorite, as the followers of the other moderates, such as Amy Klobuchar is behind him and able to pull out if their first preference is to lose weight.
Biden is a political veteran, is considered to be the weight on the moderate side of the Democratic Party, which represents the status quo: he put it in his campaign, the focus was on the defeat of the Home and promises to be the line that Obama was not followed through. Biden enjoys a high reputation and is very popular among older black voters.
during his long political career, supported Offer initiatives to the year 2020 are controversial, such as increasing the penalties for a drug crime and black people are not disproportionately affected, and in the prison populations of the sky in the shot) and the war in Iraq.
the range of plant age on him by now to see it. He was known for his slips of the tongue, but now that he was finished and then, in the middle of a sentence and the thread is loose, or he’s using severely outdated references (“Turn off” at night with the record player on” the language of children, he advised, during a debate). He refers to him as “Sleepy Joe”.
as Elizabeth Warren’s, 70’s
a Professor of law at Harvard university. Was one of the originators of the governmental office for the protection of consumers in the financial markets. Since 2013, in the Senate of the commonwealth of Massachusetts. He made some time ago of a big rise in the polls, but it was not full.
Warren and Sanders seem to be very politically on the other, the two are very good friends, but Warren likes to call himself, however, is a capitalist. She has distinguished herself by her many, and to elaborate policy proposals, and wants to be the disproportionate power of the billionaires, banksters, Wall Street, Big Tech is breaking down. Warren is a Republican already, would ensure that its plans, the Republicans could appeal to you. They are particularly good for well-educated workers and women.
Warren was proud of her American indian blood (Cherokee), but a DNA test showed that there was not a lot of through her veins. It was a public relations nightmare, where the president is He going to be on the tracks. He named her ‘Pocahontas’. That (and a bit of old-fashioned sexism among voters), the question arises whether they are at him up.
Pete Buttigieg, 38
the Former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, Afghanistanveteraan. Is going to be in the polls in Iowa, right on Warren, at some distance behind, Sanders, and Biden.
as for The openly homosexual Mayor, But presents himself as a man of the new generation as an alternative to its rivals which, in the seventies, has passed, and entrenched partisan politics. Buttigieg has the reform of the Supreme court, to the main pillar of his campaign: that he wants the judges to extend it and some of them are in turn hiring. For example, the political influence of the Court of justice is to be achieved. Buttigieg is a very talented fundraiser, and a great speaker. He is popular among the white, elderly, and veterans.
finally, Buttigieg is a millennial, and that many of them to name it, young people should not be much of a moderate, and what is clear this election year.
this chapter will Continue to be a lack of experience an issue. The mandate of a small, college town, South Bend has a population of 100 000) is not universally considered to be an appropriate introduction to the most powerful office in the world.
in Addition, it was Buttigieg as mayor of the city is good for business in the city, but he did very little for the less well-off residents, many of whom are of african Americans.
