(15,265 posts)primary until more candidates start dropping out. However Pete Buttigieg appears to have a lot of support.
Your candidate did great as well. I'm not suprized by anything in this race so far. It is going to be a horse race.

(53,740 posts)(by Kurt Eichenwald, article from Nov. 2016)
So what would have happened when Sanders hit a real opponent, someone who did not care about alienating the young college voters in his base? I have seen the opposition book assembled by Republicans for Sanders, and it was brutal. The Republicans would have torn him apart. And while Sanders supporters might delude themselves into believing that they could have defended him against all of this, there is a name for politicians who play defense all the time: losers.
..
Then there's the fact that Sanders was on unemployment until his mid-30s, and that he stole electricity from a neighbor after failing to pay his bills, and that he co-sponsored a bill to ship Vermont's nuclear waste to a poor Hispanic community in Texas, where it could be dumped. You can just see the words "environmental racist" on Republican billboards. And if you can't, I already did. They were in the Republican opposition research book as a proposal on how to frame the nuclear waste issue.

It'll be the same playbook they will run on literally every other candidate.

(22 posts)It doesnt matter who the nominee is. Look what they did to John Kerry. I dont think Trump is going to be above the fray and not make up lies and trash our candidate if its not Bernie. Look at the damage he already did to Biden.

(53,740 posts)Have you no idea of what's out there on Sanders? Do your own vetting and stop being naive. This stuff will bury the party and trump will get four more years.

(3,855 posts)They have been trying to make this stuff stick since at least 2015.
I have no doubt you did.
Just as I have no doubt you never bothered to read Sander's speech on why he voted to do that, how it was a necessity of geology supported by scientists at the time.
But hey, I guess if pretending the last 5 years didn't happen makes you happy....

(32,017 posts)"Bless your heart" is usually the equivalent of "FU" in the South, and I am a Southerner, so I know what I am talking about. LOL.
But, here's what I've got. It appears that Bernie and Mayor Pete will each get 9 delegates out of NH.

It was a tie, and Bernie should have won it outright.

(2,042 posts)Which is how we select our nominee. But you are right, Bernie did win the popular vote by 1.4 percent tonight which deserves to be noted. A win is a win, after all.

booley
(3,855 posts)Pretty sure of that.
The whole thing seems crazy to me.
In New Hampshire Sanders wins by 2% so he and Buttigieg get the same number of delegates
Meanwhile, in Iowa, sanders get more votes so he loses by .1% which means Buttigieg gets two more delegates. Oh and they won't change the results no matter how many errors they find.
I know, different states and different rules. But the whole thing just seems kind of whack. I am with the guy who said whoever got more votes should get more delegates.
