Cable News Just Can't Bring Itself To Admit That Bernie Sanders Won [View all]
HuffPost
It was the moderates who really won!
By Amanda Terkel
Just so we’re clear, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) won the New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary. He received the most votes. He won.
But you might not know that if you were watching cable news.
“The big winner last night could be Mayor Bloomberg,” Jim Messina, Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign manager, said on MSNBC Wednesday.
Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City who is pumping millions of dollars from his own fortune into the presidential race, was not on the ballot in New Hampshire.
Sanders’ victory was narrower than it was in 2016?s primary, when he beat Hillary Clinton in the state. But it was also just a two-person race that year.
Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg is currently leading in the delegate count from the chaotic Iowa caucuses, but Sanders won the popular vote there. Both men have declared victories in the state. In New Hampshire, both Sanders and Buttigieg will emerge with the same number of delegates.
