Scenes from Bernie's dispirited would-be victory party

8. Biden finishing 2nd in NH isn't guaranteed, but it's more likely than it would have been had...

...there been an undisputed, prime time announcement of the results last night, showing Biden in a distant 4th.

Biden may still end up falling to 3rd or 4th in NH, but that's less likely thanks to the Iowa shitshow. The dominant narrative of the last 24 hours has been about the IDP's incompetence and the absurd caucus process itself (and about whether the results can be trusted). Instead of being about the results, which we still don't have in full. Biden, you can be sure, is celebrating the shitshow aspect.
