Clinton barely got more folks at her NYC launch than Bernie did at his Burlington one, then he edged her by about the same percentage at his first official Iowa event vs hers, now he gets 'nearly 1000' at his first official New Hampshire one, while the reporters covering her first one are reporting that she has a 'smaller' number at her NH one than she did even in Iowa. I'd love to see him start strong and win both Iowa and New Hampshire right out of the block.

A vile thing for Gutierrez to say since he's worked with 'What's his name?' appalachiablue Jun 2015 #54
