Over the course of the last several days, a public feud has erupted between Elizabeth Warren's and Bernie Sanders' respective presidential campaigns as we draw ever closer to the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses, which take place on Feb. 3rd. Since before either of their campaigns officially began, both Warren and Sanders made an off-the-record pact not to attack each other as they ran for president out of respect for their collegial working relationship in the U.S. Senate and similar political philosophies.

Apparently it's not just Democrat operatives and insiders who are sounding the alarm over a potential nomination of socialist Bernie Sanders (I-VT) or Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). Both are so far out of the mainstream, even among Democrats, that over a dozen House Democrats in swing states are reportedly rallying behind former vice president Joe Biden (D-DE).

Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has skated along largely unscathed in his second bid for the Democrat nomination for president. With his poll numbers on the rise, Democrat insiders are reportedly murmuring that he could actually win the nomination this time, and they don't seem particularly thrilled with the prospect.

What does the massive British Conservative Party victory, which will keep Boris Johnson as Prime Minister but this time with a huge mandate to "get Brexit done," mean for the U.S.? There are many parallels between what drove the 2019 British election, and those driving the 2020 U.S. presidential election. First among them, is a party (Democrats) whose political agenda has been to repudiate and unwind the 2016 presidential vote, much as the "remainers" (chief among them Labour) sought to repudiate and unwind the 2016 Brexit vote.

Democrat presidential hopefuls Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT), both lowly millionaires, have taken aim at late entrant former NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg (D-NY) for being a billionaire. This is so ridiculous on its face that Bloomberg all but dismisses it by noting that any of the current crop of Democrats vying for their party's 2020 nomination will be "eat[en] up" by President Trump.
