Sanders underperforming.

[Horizens]

38% in

Sanders is running 21% below his 2106 numbers and losing to the combined moderate Dem vote by 25% (53 to 28). All that in his own backyard.

Go Amy

[Tiggeroshii]

1. You realize this isnt only his backyard, right?

It is also Warren's.

[TexasTowelie]

35. And the combination of Sanders and Warren

are running behind Buttigieg and Klobuchar--that's not even including the other "centrist" Biden.

Congratulations on your candidate winning tonight, but the Democrats haven't even completed the first mile of the marathon. I can't wait until Super Tuesday and the remainder of March.

[Rollo]

2. I'm impressed with Klobuchar...

She seems very level headed.

There was some negative stuff about her last year, saying she was harsh on her staff. Well, WTF? She is the boss of her campaign, after all. Nice gals finish last and all that.

[ibegurpard]

4. Yeah that was weird

I want to know where it came from

[IluvPitties]

8. Nobody's nastier than Trump.

[NewJeffCT]

22. Nobody would have said a damn thing about Klobuchar's treatment of staff

if she was a man. I'm not a Klobuchar supporter, but that article from last year really pissed me off.

[krissey]

25. Right.

[question everything]

26. Had she were a man the story would admire a demanding boss

[Agschmid]

3. He was never going to get back to 60%, lots of competition

[sweetloukillbot]

5. But that says that half of his support was "Not Hillary"

Not how you build a revolution

[Yavin4]

7. Exactly.

Bernie has a following. Not a movement. There's a big difference between the two.

[Horizens]

14. Agree

Like trump, birney has cult followers .... but not as many as trump.

[Yavin4]

17. Trump has a movement which is why Republicans fall in line.

He can punish almost any Republican who speaks out against him. Bernie can barely beat two unknown candidates.

[BusyBeingBest]

6. A five way race vs a two way race.

The dynamics aren't the same, apples and oranges.

[Yavin4]

12. Bernie had a stronger name recognition, from a neighboring state, a four year organization, spent

millions on ads in the state, all for a 5 point win over a mayor from a small town in Indiana.

Bernie has a following, not a movement.

[BusyBeingBest]

16. I don't know, I think he'll take it.

If he wins, no matter by how much, I expect both people here and in the media to diminish it. It's really something.

[UniteFightBack]

15. If folks were on board he'd be running away with it. Instead the pragmatics are clobbering him.

We will coalesce and finish it.

[BusyBeingBest]

19. Go ahead. I'm more of an Amy person myself. But I like Bernie, I voted

for him last time, and I won't shit on his night if he wins.

[UniteFightBack]

24. I'm not shitting on anything...just pointing out the obvious. nt

[greenjar_01]

9. Buttigieg first and Klobucher second in a few of these southeast townships

Interesting.

[Horizens]

11. Klobucher

I've got some whopping medical expenses in my household but I'm sending $25.00 that I can't afford to Amy.

[question everything]

29. Save it. I will gladly send it on your behalf

[krissey]

10. Right. Another landslide he is not going to get. Where is that revolution.

[DanTex]

13. LOL.

[oasis]

18. That won't stop the "full of the sound and the fury" Bernie campaign

from painting a far different picture.

[krissey]

28. Like falsely saying they got the youth vote in Iowa that Obama got in 2008?

Probably. But too many see.

[Blue_true]

20. The problem is this.

Bernie is getting a solid 25% while the others are splitting the 75% four ways. Someone has to realize they can't win and staying in insures that Bernie comes into the convention with the most delegates, even if he is well short of a majority, he can and likely WILL claim that his higher delegate count warrants that he be the nominee. The others can pool their votes to defeat him, but that is going to create chaos.

Someone has to fall on their sword and withdraw tonight or before Super Tuesday.

[LiberalFighter]

23. Most should not.

That solid 25% is a far cry from the 60% he got in 2016.

[Autumn]

31. How many are campaigning in NH this time? Here's a hint. Not just two

[sweetloukillbot]

37. Math

The amount of candidates doesn't matter -the amount of voters do.
If the turnout is similar (and it appears to be) he's getting half the votes. So either that other half were merely voting for him as "Not Hillary" and weren't supporters to begin with or he's lost support.

[question everything]

32. After two small states he claims most of the delegates?

[empedocles]

34. Thats funny!

[LiberalFighter]

21. Yep see that too.

Bernie got 15 out of 24 delegates in 2016. And didn't win the nomination.

I don't know the turnout for NH today compared to 2016.

Iowa and NH do not determine the nominee.

[Autumn]

27. About that underperforming by 21%. There were only TWO candidates, this time there are several more

Bernie's doing just fine.

[Sapient Donkey]

30. You're a harsh critic. He seems to be winning tonight from everything I've seen

Maybe he isn't doing as well as Sanders and his supporters would prefer to see, but he is still ahead of the pack in NH.

[Cal Carpenter]

33. Amy is doing great

and she is raising a ton of money. She clearly has a path forward.

I really think Bloomberg will upset the balance a lot, and fundraising will play a huge role in who can get past Super Tuesday. Obviously Bloomberg has that covered, lol.

Biden and Warren will really struggle if they can't keep donations up.

[empedocles]

36. Amy has momentum, which is what IA/NH about - not delegate counts.

[Cal Carpenter]

38. Yep

The delegate counts are nominal, really.
