(115,681 posts)17. "Firmly"? Not so much.
Buttigieg has more delegates, and is therefore the frontrunner where it matters. He probably won't be the nominee, but his victories show Bernie's support was pretty soft in states where it was assumed he'd clean up. Iowa's a caucus state - he was supposed to win there and he didn't. NH is right next door to his home state, and he only tied with Buttigieg for delegates. Not firm; kinda limp, actually.

Hi. We've never met in person, but it's sad to know you despise me for something other people did.

I don't believe for one second that Bernie would approve of that behavior.
