No, Hillary Clinton is not 41% ahead of Sanders in Iowa and Rachel Maddow & the MSM are FULL of it.

90. Unscientific poll

I have just conducted a poll of this thread:

Attacks on Hilary Clinton : 1
Attacks on Clinton supporters: 8
Attacks on Bernie Sanders: 0
Attacks on Sanders supporters: 16

I admit this is a very unscientific poll as I sometimes wasn't quite sure who was being attacked, given the similarity of what was being said by both sides and (to be honest) the nonsense of it.

However, there seems to be meme being established that Sanders supporters are by definition rude, hostile and deluded. This is incredibly dangerous for Clinton supporters, as these polls being touted only reflect Democratic opinion. Once the primaries are over, if Clinton wins she will need the support of all those Democrats and then some to win (the same obviously being true of Sanders). There is a huge well of hate out there for Clinton among Republicans and I do not see her inspiring the same set of voters that Obama did. I honestly believe that if the Republicans wind up with a half-plausible candidate then Clinton would have a huge battle on her hands and no guarantee that she would win. You should save triumphalism until you've actually won - the presidency, not the nomination.
