I think a lot of that just proves how much everyone hated Hilary. I view it as half the people only voted for Bernie because he wasn’t Hillary, now they have real options.Sanders appears to have lost over half his support from four years ago.
He doesn’t scream “Live Free or Die.” He does scream “Not Hillary Clinton.”Sanders appears to have lost over half his support from four years ago.
Wholeheartedly agree. And the other gets VP.Amy and Pete should make a deal that, between the two of them, whoever has fewer total votes after South Carolina should immediately endorse the other one two full days before Super Tuesday.
I heard someone claim the other day he is going to try avoid debating somehow.A bighorn sheep on high doses of ambien with a lisp would own Trump in a debate.
Had the same thought, but it doesn't solve the Bloomberg problem they're about to have.Amy and Pete should make a deal that, between the two of them, whoever has fewer total votes after South Carolina should immediately endorse the other one two full days before Super Tuesday.
He doesn’t have as much of the anti-Clinton vote this time.Sanders appears to have lost over half his support from four years ago.
Pete winning in the south of NH.Sanders' lead has dwindled to just under 2% (3900 votes) with 71% reporting.
Are we really expecting Bloomberg to do anything? He’s just trolling Trump.Had the same thought, but it doesn't solve the Bloomberg problem they're about to have.
It’s fluctuated on percentage, but total vote difference has been pretty steady for a while. I don’t see Pete making up 4000 votes.Sanders' lead has dwindled to just under 2% (3900 votes) with 71% reporting.
Klobuchar just made up 10 points on Pete in four days. Can't say I'd advise her to take that deal.Amy and Pete should make a deal that, between the two of them, whoever has fewer total votes after South Carolina should immediately endorse the other one two full days before Super Tuesday.
Problem is I don't think Amy likes him. She sees him as undeserving compared to her experience.Amy and Pete should make a deal that, between the two of them, whoever has fewer total votes after South Carolina should immediately endorse the other one two full days before Super Tuesday.
How do you solve a problem like Mike Bloomberg?Had the same thought, but it doesn't solve the Bloomberg problem they're about to have.
It seems pretty plausible he's going to win a fair share of the Super Tuesday delegates. And he pulls more votes from Pete/Amy than he will from Sanders.Are we really expecting Bloomberg to do anything? He’s just trolling Trump.
Agreed. But given the proportionality of the delegates he's going to have fought Sanders to essentially a delegate tie after IA and NH. I didn't see that as likely. I still think Sanders may stretch this a bit, but Pete has kept it closer than I expected in NH.It’s fluctuated on percentage, but total vote difference has been pretty steady for a while.

He was 3rd in a recent national poll.Are we really expecting Bloomberg to do anything? He’s just trolling Trump.
Yeah, back up to about 4200 vote lead for Sanders now. Very good showing for Pete though.Not sure I see where Pete gets +4000 with what’s left. Great result compared to expectations a few weeks ago though.
According to @SteveKornacki
with 2/3s of NH vote in turnout is up 18% over 2016 and looking as expected (pre-Iowa)

Same can be said for Klobuchar, I think.It’s just nice to see a Democrat who understands and actively works for the numbers that count in an election. Delegates, folks. They matter.
Why would Amy give up her career when she's gaining?Amy and Pete should make a deal that, between the two of them, whoever has fewer total votes after South Carolina should immediately endorse the other one two full days before Super Tuesday.
I think Dems spend too much time worrying what Trump will say about them. It's really just tortured logic to keep the party centrist forever. 'Imagine Clinton being able to rip Trump as being so extreme even the Bushes wouldn't endorse him.' Trump was unorthodox and extreme by any measure- and then he won.Imagine Trump being able to rip Bernie as being so extreme that even another progressive was unwilling to endorse him. It would fall right in line with a campaign attack of fearing the socialist and probably would work.
HellToupee.Who changed the rules so college students couldn't vote?
Or, Trump was a fluke and things will return to normal starting the next election.Conventional wisdom is over, it's a different era now.
Well there's like 5 prominent politicians running a pretty neck and neck race, versus effectively 2 in 2016. No one's going to run away with it until the herd thins out a bit. Especially with Carville and Bloomberg and Hillary and MSNBC and every other centrist coming out of the woodwork to subvert a left populist campaign.Sanders appears to have lost over half his support from four years ago.
Bad defeatist attitude. Adapt and advance imo.Or, Trump was a fluke and things will return to normal starting the next election.
I prefer to think of Trump as an exception, rather than a changed norm. Honestly, we can't survive if it's a different era that Trump is representative of.
Nah. That’s just political talk. Listening to Warren tonight, for example, it’s clear these folks don’t all actually hate each other. They are just trying to win.Problem is I don't think Amy likes him. She sees him as undeserving compared to her experience.
Agreed on that front. If Buttigieg, Klobuchar, and Biden are all still in the race, Sanders will take a lot of states with a plurality.Well there's like 5 prominent politicians running a pretty neck and neck race, versus effectively 2 in 2016.

Sanders has broken records for # of individual donors. He has the most individual donors in about 47 states. It's really unprecedented in a lot of respects. Super Tuesday will tell us a lot.
Trump was a fluke. But it's never going back.Or, Trump was a fluke and things will return to normal starting the next election.

Which is exactly what a lot of us have been saying since he got in. So can all of you on the Trump fearmonger bandwagon relax with the "stuff he does will change our country forever" narrative?Or, Trump was a fluke and things will return to normal starting the next election.
As long as it knocks out the Bern. I'll take either that ticket or Bloomberg.Had the same thought, but it doesn't solve the Bloomberg problem they're about to have.
Back up to 2%Still 3250 votes.Less than 2% now.
Yeah, it wasn't the Trump ratings that may have sunk it. Was the Nielsen ratings.Trump was a fluke. But it's never going back.
If he wins another election, things change forever.Which is exactly what a lot of us have been saying since he got in. So can all of you on the Trump fearmonger bandwagon relax with the "stuff he does will change our country forever" narrative?
Yep, Pere needs to post huge numbers in Hanover, Durham, and Derry and still probably needs some more help.Still 3250 votes.
And SandersGreat nights for both Buttigieg and Klobucher. Keeping the momentum going.
Perhaps because like Buttigieg just experienced she will now find herself, maybe, in the crosshairs of the other candidates. Perhaps not. Thus far she has not faced the criticism machine.Why would Amy give up her career when she's gaining?
