Bernie is panicking about Pete a little bit:

1. The BS campaign is frightened. That explains the SMEARS and LIES.

[trueblue2007]

33. SMEARS and LIES. --- just like BS did about Hillary.

[NurseJackie]

34. It's not entirely unexpected... just look at the cast of characters

It's not entirely unexpected... just look at the cast of characters (ie: FORMER JILL STEIN SUPPORTERS AND STEIN VOTERS) that he brought-in to work on his campaign!!! Talk about a fucking SLAP IN THE FACE to the Democratic party! But aside from that, they're all a fairly unsavory group of individuals. It really reveals a lot about integrity of anyone who'd hire them.

Unfortunately, that's not a very flattering revelation.

2. Well, we saw what dismissing Pete got Biden in Iowa, eh?

Joe has even more reason to start panicking about Pete in New Hampshire, getting beat by Buttigieg there will sink the Biden Campaign.

[TexasTowelie]

22. I think that Bernie has more to worry about in New Hampshire than Biden.

Despite what 538 says, I still believe that Biden is preferred over Bernie or any other candidate (even Bloomberg) in the southern states. After New Hampshire, where does Bernie go where he will have win by large margins besides Vermont? The younger voters appear to be more enthralled and can relate to Buttigieg better than with Sanders.

[bluewater]

25. Biden has much to lose in New Hampshire.

If Buttigieg beats Biden again, Pete will be seen as the leading moderate candidate. That will impact fundraising, and the Biden campaign is already lower on funds than any other campaign.

As for where candidates go next, Bernie is expected to do well and is leading in California, so perhaps you need to reexamine where people are actually polling well.

All in all, Sanders' campaign seems strong for the long run, Biden's seems to be fading.

[TexasTowelie]

30. California is one state with slightly over 400 pledged delegates.

It appears that the delegates will be split among Bernie, Biden and Warren so even if Bernie wins he will not build a wide margin. There are over 1,000 delegates available in the South and Biden is still ahead by larger margins than what Bernie has in California. I had already factored into my analysis that Biden wouldn't do well in the non-diverse electorates of Iowa and New Hampshire so I'm comfortable with my projections.

3. This is terrible.

I am sick of his vitriol aimed at people with money. Not that I personally know this, but being wealthy doesn't make you a bad person, an uncaring person, or a corrupt person. There are millionaires and billionaires who devote much of their time and money doing good things.

Sanders is a divider.

[krissey]

10. Sanders being one of those millionaires with three homes. I am good with Buttigieg having

the ability to get money. That is a plus.

[MontanaFarmer]

4. No better indicator that Pete's

surge in NH is real, than that tweet right there. Pete had best be prepared for the long knives to be out tonight.

[bluewater]

6. Very true.

Biden has already attacked Pete as being a "small city mayor" lacking experience.

Iowa has put the fear into many other candidates, including my own.

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. That was a cheap shot by Joe's campaign.

Keep that up and Trump will win again.

DONALD TRUMP is the enemy, Dems.

[zackymilly]

5. I heard they have a sparrow on a wire that's going to land on Bernie's podium tonight. n/t

[flamingdem]

9. Lol!

[MineralMan]

11. So it seems. Isn't that interesting?

[bluedigger]

12. I don't see Bernie as a panicker.

I see a seasoned campaigner who knows how to exploit his rivals weaknesses, and stay on message.

[scheming daemons]

13. Buttigieg is supported by exactly *ONE* SuperPAC... VoteVets.org

Bernie's campaign is panicking about Pete's skyrocketing poll numbers in NH. That's why they are using misleading info about him.



ps. Bernie is a multi-millionaire with 3 mansions. Pete is the only NON-millionaire in the race.

[Amimnoch]

15. lol Pete is down the board MORE of what Sanders pretends to be than is.

Pet's not the millionaire.
Pet's not the Washington insider.. BS's been there for more years than Pete's been alive.
Pete's got fewer super pac's supporting him.
Pete's the one bringing in more people to the table now.
Pete even stole his gosh darned right to an Iowa victory that he'd planned so carefully... really ironic considering how much they used to say "it's her turn" oh so sarcastically before. Now they're acting like it was supposed to be BS's turn... but "it ain't Blanche, it ain't".

Buttigieg (or any Democratic Party candidate BUT BS) 2020!

[Cha]

14. lol.. I'm on Joe Biden's side.. but I wish Pete and

Elizabeth Good Luck, too.

[Amimnoch]

17. I know how you feel Cha!

exact same. Would be proud as hell to support Joe as well. Pretty much any candidate but Tulsi and BS.. although I could hold my nose for Tulsi if I had to.

[Cha]

29. Hey Aloha, Amimnoch!

I hear ya

[Codeine]

28. My sentiments exactly. nt

[scheming daemons]

18. If Bernie can't beat Trump in a New England state, he won't get to 200 EVs in the general

It will be a wipeout.

[Zolorp]

19. Shades of 1984 and 1972

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Welcome to DU, Zsohn!

Glad to have you on board with DU and with Pete!

[OKNancy]

23. I see #PetesBillionaires is trending now

Not real smart it seems. If they trash Pete and it works, who benefits: Biden

[helpisontheway]

24. I hope Buttigieg goes right after Sanders tonight. Nt

[Cha]

31. +1

[BootinUp]

26. Screw that noise. Nt

[still_one]

27. It looks that way

[NWCorona]

32. Bernie definitely should be worried. Nt

[Demsrule86]

35. Sanders is not a good candidate and would be a disastrous nominee.

We need to win!!! Yes before someone asks he has my vote in a general.
