    I see the democrats are wasting no time on falling on their faces this year. The hurry up and fail mentality at its finest.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The unofficial results I saw last night had him behind pretty much every other major and mid-major candidate. This was never a state Biden was expected to win (South Carolina and Nevada were supposed to be his strong states among the early ones), but coming in sixth or seventh would still be pretty terrible for him.

    Well, it doesn't look like Biden will be 6th or 7th, but it does looks like a 3rd-5th place finish, and that isn't really a help for him.

    The problem for Biden is if other moderates start looking electable, then he may lose some of his supporters who are with him only because they believe he's best positioned to beat Trump.

    No doubt. However, if Bernie can push Warren out of the race, he picks up more of her supporters than anyone else.

    One more thought - Yang and Steyer and Gabbard and Bennet and whatever other random candidates are still in the race got essentially zero in IA. They'll probably do better in NH (state motto: Vote Randomly or Die), but anyone still less than say 3% there should probably think about spending more time with their families.

    This is the sort of thing that makes non-Bernie supporters really dislike Bernie supporters, and by transferrence, Bernie himself.

    It's just a smear with zero basis whatsoever. It's not a good look and it's counterproductive.

    I think it’s safe to assume the latter at this point.

    There's a difference between lies and news.

    Lies are the news and the news is lies. The thing that makes Bernie supporters hate establishment democrats is their instance that everything thing is fine and ok with the process whenever there is obvious issues. The incompetence is the conspiracy. Fix the damn system already or live with never ending conspiracy and party divides.

    Pete spent a lot of time in the rural areas and he's very palatable and rubs well with people I think. I like his logic on most, all in or nothing issues.
    No doubt he will move more to the middle once the get away from NH.
