MSM is losing its mind today over Bernie winning in NH. They keep talking about Bernie's 25-30 percent and how we need to unify behind a moderate... I guess they forgot how hard it is to win without Bernie's 25-30 percent.
Bernie actually won both primaries based on popular vote, but you'd be hard pressed to find a moderate to admit that. So this Hillary won the popular vote thing can go just like Hillary too.
I wanted to start this thread instead of talking about primaries in threads like Pete did, Bloomberg said, Amy shows up, or where's Joe?... This is not a Bernie thread, but it looks like we will be talking about him since he's the frontrunner.
On the other side, Bill Weld took 10% of the republican vote in a low turnout fake GOPer NH primary. Roughly 10 thousand GOPer voters bothered to show up just to let Trump know that he won't get their vote in November. That's a good sign for the good guys.
Your feelings and opinions do not add up to facts.
In 2016 Bernie won NH with 60% of the vote against a very well known candidate. This happened in Bernie's back yard.
The two top vote getters of the far left are Bernie and Liz. They received a whopping 34.9% of the vote.
The two top moderate vote getters were Amy and Pete. They received 44.2% of the vote.
Both Bernie and Pete received 9 delegates in NH.
Everyone knew Bernie would win NH. He just won it by far less than he should have.
In 2016 there were 5 candidates and the other three got like 2% combined. Of course Bernie had 60% then. There were 11 candidates last night with 5 drawing a lot of support and 4 others over 2%. You sound like CNN spinning the moderates.

The top 2 moderates overwhelmingly received a much larger portion of the vote than the top 2 far left candidates. Bernie barley squeaked out a win. And this was in Bernie's back yard.
Spin that any way you like.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
Sure they did, BUT they also couldn't put together a coalition bigger than Bernie's! I'd be happy if the flavor of the week keeps the moderate in second place all the way to the convention! Bernie WON! He had more votes in both primaries so far. Would it kill the moderates to acknowledge that?

The problem is, if the vote keeps being split like this, Bernie will never receive the 1,990 pledged delegates it takes to insure the nomination. Be careful what you wish for.

Yesterday out of the mouth of one of the top democratic reps Came the words ... “were expecting 400,000” ....
I’m not sure what source u googled .... but I’m going with one of the heads of the Democratic Party ... feel free to use whatever source it is u use .... mines just fine Mr. google king ..

Let there be a brokered convention where Bernie goes in with the most delegates but doesn't get the nod... Millions of progressives dare the moderates to try that crap.

But when you consider that, when it goes down it won't be nearly as black and white as you described, they've already (more or less) done just that in the last election... what then?
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.
Our guy Pete is trying to make it happen!!! Warren had the juice but just couldn’t do anything with it. Oh well.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
I may switch my vote from Bernie to Bloomberg in the primary ...
Bloomberg is a good thought. I think he was once a Republican.
If he gets the nomination it will give us a choice between Bloomberg, the Liberal Billionaire Republican or Trump, the Moderate Billionaire Republican.
Bloomberg will also get down in the gutter with Mr. President so it will make it easier on the independent snowflakes to vote for Mr. President or they will just stay home ...
And way more of the black vote will simply stay home or maybe even vote for Mr. President ...
Yup ... pretty sure the switch to lil Mikey is a done deal on my end ...
Please tell me why Bernie over him ...
I never thought wed be having a rational discussion on weather I’d vote for the bern or lil Miley in here ... *L* ...

That's a bit of a stretch to get to that conclusion.

I'm just glad neither of you are stanning for Bloomberg.
Pfft... Bloomberg is the next big centrist flavor of the week, his past and his new surge is all MSM is talking about. Pete and Amy are yesterdays news. I even seen talk of a Biden comeback today because he is still second in the Nevada polls.
Not much positive coverage of the actual front runner though... Bernie 2020!
And if you seen Real Time with Bill Maher this week, then you saw Klobuchar get pretty much shut down and run over in an interview. Sad.

Right now, this moment, Bernie has the slight edge, but that could change by Super Tuesday. So I'd have to say it's still very much an open race to the finish. AND I'm good with that. I just want to see a fair primary and let the people pick the candidate. I'll be rooting for Bernie until it's over.

Bernie Sanders Seeks Greta Thunberg Endorsement, But Winds Up Pranked By Russian Jokesters

She was feeling the Bern. Then it turned into a burn.
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was excited to speak to who he thought was climate activist Greta Thunberg. Then the conversation took a turn into the bizarre.
Russian pranksters Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov are claiming credit for luring Sanders into a phone call with the ersatz Thunberg and her father, Svante. The two have a history of pranking US politicians, and they posted the results to YouTube.
Stolyarov played the role of Svante in the call, with an unidentified woman acting as Greta. They raised the possiblity of endorsing Sanders for US president.
“Let us continue to talk and when you come to the United States I will bring some people together and we can do some interesting things, and if you wanted to make a statement in support of my candidacy and the program we have outlined for climate change, I would be very very appreciative,” Sanders said.
But the conversation took a strange turn when “Greta” began asking about the Senator’s 1988 visit to the Soviet Union, where he was allegedly “recruited.”
“In the Soviet Union in 1988, after you were recruited you were programmed to work for Russia and your memory was erased so the CIA wouldn’t track you down,” she said.
“This is what you believe?” a shocked Sanders asked.
“Yes, you became a sleeper agent of the KGB. Now it’s time to wake up and fulfill your mission, become president of the United States, build communism in the United States and work for Russia!”
Sanders eventually caught on and hung up. So far, no comment from his camp on the incident.
That phone call was less of a prank and more of a trolling. I can see why you liked it.
The punching bag thing I think was Bernie being silly for the camera's but even if it wasn't, what did you expect, Rocky Balboa? lmao For a 78 year old Senator he at least hit the bag!
