It's not just that Bernie got the most votes, it's also how. [View all]

Bernie won pretty much every demo except for "rich white people." Which contradicts all the smears they tried to throw at him going into it.

Remember how the Joe Rogan endorsement proved Bernie was racist/sexist? Bernie won both female voters and nonwhite voters. He got 45% of nonwhite women.

Remember how free college and debt relief was elitist and a handout to rich people? Bernie won non-college voters. And he won all the income brackets below $75K.

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

Because I'm still deciding. DanTex Feb 2020 #3

I don't attack Bernie. Desert grandma Feb 2020 #34

Both Michigan and Wisconsin went for Bernie in the 2016 primary Kentonio Feb 2020 #35

To me, that does not say much. Desert grandma Feb 2020 #38

Sanders outperformed a moderate in both those states. Kentonio Feb 2020 #39

Yes. Desert grandma Feb 2020 #41

The irony is that his attacks on Democrats is why I dislike him, and I've been insulted R B Garr Feb 2020 #44

Same, sort of democrattotheend Feb 2020 #62

I defend all of the Democratic candidates against any attacks. Bluepinky Feb 2020 #63

Same, pretty much democrattotheend Feb 2020 #64

10% support at DU really tells a lot about his support. ahoysrcsm Feb 2020 #65

Would love to hear your thoughts on my points in this op redqueen Feb 2020 #37

Many people are undecided between Sanders and Warren, as one example. bluewater Feb 2020 #5

I didn't expect that ! At least you are covering the OnDoutside Feb 2020 #15

Everyone is a millionaire, or better, except for Pete. bluewater Feb 2020 #22

Absolutely true, but to be fair, I think only one of them make it a cornerstone issue. OnDoutside Feb 2020 #50

Wasn't that cornerstone issue about TAXING the millionaires? bluewater Feb 2020 #53

Because it provides him the "cover" of "impartiality". awesomerwb1 Feb 2020 #16

Bingo. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #61

So, Bernie had the most support across ALL demographic groups? bluewater Feb 2020 #2

. TexasTowelie Feb 2020 #52

How many "non-white" voters are in Iowa? George II Feb 2020 #4

Why did you put that in quotes? Are non-white voters in Iowa not really non-white? DanTex Feb 2020 #6

So why didn't Joe win those non-white voters? bluewater Feb 2020 #8

Not sure what you're trying to imply, but... HerbChestnut Feb 2020 #18

Nice Pictures! That's a very diverse crowd of Bernie Supporters! bluewater Feb 2020 #19

Not nearly as many as there are nationally. Desert grandma Feb 2020 #43

I think there are still concerns for Bernie. pfeiffer Feb 2020 #7

One big concern for Bernie and his supporters would be over confidence. bluewater Feb 2020 #9

The concern is that he will not get the independent voters. oldsoftie Feb 2020 #14

The sample size wasn't big enough. Sorry ecstatic Feb 2020 #10

Bernie has been campaigning for nearly five straight years and can't win decisively in Iowa Happyhippychick Feb 2020 #11

Biden was a 2 term VP and can't finish better than 4th place in Iowa bluewater Feb 2020 #21

I agree with you Happyhippychick Feb 2020 #26

hi and thanks! bluewater Feb 2020 #28

I haven't picked men candidate yet so I'll support whomever it is! Happyhippychick Feb 2020 #30

With the cluster f.ck in Iowa going on and how this cound is being handled ? CentralMass Feb 2020 #25

The clusterfuck doesn't account for why Bernie didn't win by a landslide after building this Happyhippychick Feb 2020 #27

The field had 20 + candidate + 2 late entries from billonares. CentralMass Feb 2020 #31

BERNIE NUMBER TWO!!! BERNIE NUMBER TWO!!! ahoysrcsm Feb 2020 #66

Why does everyone go apeshit over IOWA?? Worry about the states with delegates. oldsoftie Feb 2020 #13

Bernie got an unimpressive amount of support compared to what he had four years ago. No other highplainsdem Feb 2020 #20

Biden got an unimpressive amount of support compared to everyone else. bluewater Feb 2020 #24

Yes, this. Happyhippychick Feb 2020 #29

But in the end, isn't it the delegates who decide the winner? Like you said about Hillary re: 2016. ehrnst Feb 2020 #32

IA was Bernie's to walk away with a commanding victory. He dropped the ball. LanternWaste Feb 2020 #33

And Joe was just coveting fourth place ChubbyStar Feb 2020 #46

Its obvious to me we are getting shafted again mgcgulfcoast Feb 2020 #36

Oh brother! GMAFB! NurseJackie Feb 2020 #40

so 75% or so of iowa voters rejected him and you think you are getting shafted... again lol nt msongs Feb 2020 #42

" He got 45% of nonwhite women." So in Iowa, that like what? 10 people? phleshdef Feb 2020 #45

What percentage did Joe get ? I'm told he has the demographic locked down. CentralMass Feb 2020 #48

According to polling, he is still favored by African American voters. phleshdef Feb 2020 #49

I wasking about Iowa CentralMass Feb 2020 #55

And I was joking about Iowa. Whats your point? phleshdef Feb 2020 #56

My point was that if there were 12 poc in all if IowasJoes should have gotten their votes. CentralMass Feb 2020 #57

Your point is you want to troll me. phleshdef Feb 2020 #58

I don't get it... Blue_Tires Feb 2020 #47

those arent' mutually exclusive booley Feb 2020 #59

I am reading Sanders did so chicanery with the satellite vote. I will wait to see what is up with krissey Feb 2020 #51

I love Bernie - I voted for him in the Primary in 2016 - My only question is walkingman Feb 2020 #54

Same here - but I also know that they'll slime the "gay guy," "corrupt Joe,"... polichick Feb 2020 #60
