It's a sure sign that Bernie will continue surging and winning with the people that COUNT... the working class and poor folks in this country who've been waiting for their Champion who will fight for THEM against tRumpy The Clown's Corporate Socialism and push an aggressive progressive agenda that puts the honest interests of MAIN STREET over the greedy interests of WALL STREET. That is what will GUARAN-DAMN-TEE the tRumpster Fire's ultimate defeat!!

FEEL THE BERN BABY!!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

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

Not a Sanders fan, but that's a tie. emmaverybo Feb 2020 #2

Not in a dash. Scurrilous Feb 2020 #86

Yep. But I think it's a marathon folks want other folks to perceive as a dash so they can seal it emmaverybo Feb 2020 #90

A win is a win. musicblind Feb 2020 #4

Yep, primaries with rank choice voting mysteryowl Feb 2020 #5

I really like that idea of ranked choice voting for everything. Tiggeroshii Feb 2020 #6

Works great. mysteryowl Feb 2020 #9

It would almost definitely make it impossible to get results within a relatively short window TexasTowelie Feb 2020 #49

Aussies use it Wabbajack_ Feb 2020 #60

Getting a result in relatively short order is just DeminPennswoods Feb 2020 #73

Rank-choice voting wouldn't be good for a Bernie... scheming daemons Feb 2020 #12

Where are you getting your facts? JudyM Feb 2020 #18

From the Iowa caucuses. He didn't get much of the 2nd-alignment vote. scheming daemons Feb 2020 #21

Actually a lot of people just like him a lot without loving him. My conservative father and JudyM Feb 2020 #28

Sanders has little appeal outside of his base. radius777 Feb 2020 #20

Please share your data sources backing up your assertions. JudyM Feb 2020 #35

The assertions are self-evident radius777 Feb 2020 #40

Hm, well ok. JudyM Feb 2020 #42

If the polls from 2016 had any validity TexasTowelie Feb 2020 #63

I wouldn't discount the polls that much ... JudyM Feb 2020 #80

Dead last for me. OneMoreCupOfCoffee Feb 2020 #84

minus the peer pressure AND reduced participation. -n/t lapfog_1 Feb 2020 #70

Actually it was the second highest turnout on record Tweedy Feb 2020 #83

I meant that the caucus method, in general, lapfog_1 Feb 2020 #85

Caucuses Tweedy Feb 2020 #91

Turnout was higher in the midterms. Scurrilous Feb 2020 #89

If Biden comes in behind another or only barely wins SC, that will be damaging for him. krissey Feb 2020 #8

Ok. musicblind Feb 2020 #32

You said a win is a win. It isn't a win. It is a loss. Squeaking out would be a loss for Sanders krissey Feb 2020 #33

Oh. What confused me was you said Biden musicblind Feb 2020 #36

Cool. krissey Feb 2020 #37

And winning literally every count would certainly be a win. HowardZinnfandel Feb 2020 #11

False. Bill Clinton lost both Iowa and NH in 1992 primaries. scheming daemons Feb 2020 #13

I think you misread previous post unc70 Feb 2020 #17

Try again. HowardZinnfandel Feb 2020 #38

Sorry, misread it. scheming daemons Feb 2020 #39

If that matters, it'll be the first time. HowardZinnfandel Feb 2020 #47

It's not so much the number.... as that the winner is less than 30% scheming daemons Feb 2020 #50

Carter in 76 was. HowardZinnfandel Feb 2020 #54

No. former9thward Feb 2020 #74

Why would it and why should it? Shall we overlook his lack of AA support? emmaverybo Feb 2020 #43

Um...I thought I already said... HowardZinnfandel Feb 2020 #57

Not a gambling gal so we will see what we see. emmaverybo Feb 2020 #69

Bernie, a win?! Frontrunner status?! How is that even possible?! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #55

I can't disagree, sort of like denying math, universal laws and all that. nt BootinUp Feb 2020 #16

Since when does simple math come into play in attempts to deny Bernie the Democratic nomination?! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #58

I'm not buying that. TexasTowelie Feb 2020 #64

Very good point. I have found myself deciding that I am good with a Buttigieg win the last krissey Feb 2020 #67

Of COURSE it'll be treated differently... IT'S BERNIE!! But I LOVE it... InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #52

Which win though? quakerboy Feb 2020 #61

Strong showing for Buttiigieg. Might as well be a loss for Sanders. He didn't get what he needed. krissey Feb 2020 #7

What did Bernie need? ChubbyStar Feb 2020 #10

Expectation was a resounding, comfortable victory scheming daemons Feb 2020 #14

No it wasn't. It was a dead heat with Biden. Biden flopped. Not Bernie Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2020 #22

That speaks more to Biden's lack of support Gravitycollapse Feb 2020 #24

Speaks to Iowa and caucus is all it speaks to. emmaverybo Feb 2020 #44

He got the numbers he needed Polybius Feb 2020 #72

Um, no democrattotheend Feb 2020 #88

Sanders says he can get new people radius777 Feb 2020 #15

don't know what time it is there, but the big # precincts haven't reported, and they all lean Bernie floppyboo Feb 2020 #23

Nate Cohn predicts Pete will win: radius777 Feb 2020 #25

That was before the needle was revealed to be broken. Tiggeroshii Feb 2020 #26

Tie for delegates, but Pete can't catch up to Bernie on popular vote, so #1 Berning! floppyboo Feb 2020 #30

He posted that 8 hours ago melman Feb 2020 #31

Yeah I saw that - edited my post to reflect that. /nt radius777 Feb 2020 #34

I respect your opinion but respectfully disagree...cept for your last line. But Mayor Pete did great InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #62

It's Bernie, so no opportunity to bash him will be missed...what's else is there to understand?! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #53

Motherfucking A ChubbyStar Feb 2020 #65

They can't even concede THAT!! Hahaha!! But that's just another GOOD thing to CELEBRATE!! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #68

Now it is all Russian money and GOP slop donations that fueled Bernie ChubbyStar Feb 2020 #81

As they say in french: "Tu me fais rire... mais c'est vrai!! " InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #82

The martyrdom routine gets old fast. His anemic campaign snapped defeat from the jaws of victory. LanternWaste Feb 2020 #77

They suspended the needle melman Feb 2020 #19

And I lost my damn decoder ring just now too. nt BootinUp Feb 2020 #29

Are they testing reliability of the needle or is there more to it that that? JudyM Feb 2020 #41

There's a lot more to it than that. They left out the satellite caucuses. HowardZinnfandel Feb 2020 #45

So they're basically saying it's too close to call because the data hasn't been accounted for in JudyM Feb 2020 #46

Good question HowardZinnfandel Feb 2020 #48

Eek, what a career downer. JudyM Feb 2020 #56

I don't think he'll be fired HowardZinnfandel Feb 2020 #59

Whoever was managing the election in Iowa, that's a different story. JudyM Feb 2020 #79

One person one vote is democratic tirebiter Feb 2020 #51

Buttigieg and Sanders both won Iowa's piece of shit caucus. phleshdef Feb 2020 #66

True. Iowa should be AFTER Super Tuesday mysteryowl Feb 2020 #71

in fairness, Pete's only been running 10 months, bernie has 4 year headstart nt Fresh_Start Feb 2020 #75

Judging from the polls, they were wrong at least for Iliyah Feb 2020 #76

Yep. It was a tie, and it decided only 41 out of some 4,000 delegates. Laelth Feb 2020 #78

Wow. Two cycles in a row democrattotheend Feb 2020 #87
