17. In 1992, Bill Clinton got only 2.81% of the vote in Iowa.

He went on to win the Primary, and the Presidency. How did he do it? He was strong in the South, and strong with African Americans. Biden does not have to win either Iowa or New Hampshire. He just needs to win where the African Americans are strong.

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

I am not sure what your point is. :) Sloumeau Feb 2020 #36

The Iowa Caucuses were not contested in 1992. denem Feb 2020 #39

And somehow Bill Clinton still won the nomination, without winning the Iowa Caucus. Sloumeau Feb 2020 #44

I believe that Scurrilous is making a joke about how often CNN bashes Democrats. :) nt Sloumeau Feb 2020 #12

Sanders if he doesn't knock it out of the park. krissey Feb 2020 #10

Wouldn't it be any candidate accruing less than 15%? Mike 03 Feb 2020 #14

Anything short of a convincing win for Sanders will be bad for him scheming daemons Feb 2020 #15

Out of that list, Yang and Klobuchar. musicblind Feb 2020 #29
