Historians will not miss that.

How Trump got elected will be a major part of history.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Sanders On New Iowa Poll: With So Many Candidates, 'Nobody' Is Going To Reach 50% [View all] DonViejo Jun 2019 OP

I heard that's what he's hoping for. MrsCoffee Jun 2019 #1

I believe Bernie's analysis is correct. Uncle Joe Jun 2019 #2

Is 50% even necessary? RandySF Jun 2019 #3

No, and you're unlikely to see it with so many candidates. But that hadn't been the question. highplainsdem Jun 2019 #5

I think it'll be two, three tops. It could conceivably turn out that only one exceeds 15%... George II Jun 2019 #16

Looking at past years, karynnj Jun 2019 #18

If Biden gets 40% and the other three get 15% (close to where they are now).... George II Jun 2019 #24

Yes. My best guess is Sanders fighting to reach that magic 15%. Hortensis Jun 2019 #22

If that happens, my guess is that it benefits Warren if she does well karynnj Jun 2019 #27

That all seems very plausible. It'll be interesting Hortensis Jun 2019 #30

He's right about the # of candidates, but he dodged Dana Bash's question, highplainsdem Jun 2019 #4

Hmmm.. I wonder why? She should Cha Jun 2019 #7

There were three of you in Iowa, you dolt. DavidDvorkin Jun 2019 #6

Not in terms of splitting up the delegates. aikoaiko Jun 2019 #12

That's not what Sanders said DavidDvorkin Jun 2019 #13

Sure, technically, O'Malley was there. aikoaiko Jun 2019 #14

He is probably right, but whether someone does or not it matters little still_one Jun 2019 #8

+1,000,000 George II Jun 2019 #17

He didn't answer the question, though. Cha Jun 2019 #20

Good point Cha. I was just going off the headline. Thanks still_one Jun 2019 #26

You're Welcome.. Cha Jun 2019 #42

With the primaries being pushed up I don't think Iowa has the pull in this process as it use to have FloridaBlues Jun 2019 #11

It's quite likely that only one candidate, possibly two or three, will break the 15% threshold. George II Jun 2019 #15

The thing is. Senator Sanders gave a non answer answer to the question. Blue_true Jun 2019 #19

It was an irrelevant answer, I can't remember the last time anyone got 50% in Iowa, even 2016. George II Jun 2019 #23

Al Gore got about 63 percent to Bradley's 37 percent karynnj Jun 2019 #28

Just looked it up: George II Jun 2019 #29

Harkin was the favorite son and many of the other candidates simply karynnj Jun 2019 #32

It'd be very interesting to know what's in his mind. Hortensis Jun 2019 #21

"irrational rage"? Cuthbert Allgood Jun 2019 #31

This matters because the same person is running again, Hortensis Jun 2019 #33

Well, I notice you don't support that he had "irrational rage," but let's not forget Cuthbert Allgood Jun 2019 #34

Okay. This is a huge and complex syndrome only the professionals Hortensis Jun 2019 #35

*Insert random word salad response here* Cuthbert Allgood Jun 2019 #39

Good post, cuts to the chase. People "forget" the truth or outright revise it, false memes abound JudyM Jun 2019 #37

Sanders is done LibFarmer Jun 2019 #25

I see history remembering him as an important figure Politicub Jun 2019 #38

Thanks for the blinding flash of the obvious, Bernie Politicub Jun 2019 #36
