1. Trump

[W_HAMILTON]

2. Candidates who thrive on disparaging the Democratic Party and promoting conspiracy theories.

[Control-Z]

15. This.

Sorry for the one word reply but you said it all, and better than I could have.

[George II]

3. The numbers are the numbers, but based on the tone of the three emails I've already gotten....

from Sanders today, they're already fundraising off this.

[Zolorp]

4. Bloomberg

[LaurenOlimina]

5. If he finished fourth, Biden.

Otherwise, Bloomberg and Trump.

[HerbChestnut]

6. Biden and Trump.

Biden because he will come in 4th, at best, so he gets to avoid the immediate media fallout of severely underperforming in a state which he was one of the favorites to win. Considering he has based his entire campaign around electability, a 4th place finish in the first voting state (followed by a likely loss in NH) will put a serious dent in the argument he is most electable.

Trump because he feeds on chaos and making fun of the Democratic party.

7. Bloomberg by all means this will win him the primary and the GE. Because...

I'm going with it benefits Trump tonight. Tomorrow who knows .

8. Trump

[Wellstone ruled]

9. No One!

The process just got one big black eye because of a Failure to fully test and secure a data system.

Proud to say,here in Nevada,we are now going back to square one and will so our Caucus the old fashion way.

The Idea of bringing in a more tech savvy voters is great,but,if you cannot protect the Technology,well,we just move on.

[Voltaire2]

10. None.

[Tiggeroshii]

11. Anybody who didnt win.

[stopbush]

12. Bloomberg.

13. On the Democratic side, probably Biden.

The results of his likely 4th place finish get buried, and the brakes were slammed on Bernie's momentum because he was deprived of any "BERNIE WINS IOWA" headlines.

[MineralMan]

14. Bloomberg.

16. I think you're right

I heard this mentioned last night on CNN.
The 'messier' the early primaries are, the better Bloomberg looks.

Plus (they said) Bloomberg's been attacking Trump
and staying out of the 'circular firing squad'.
