It would be really dumb for Obama to endorse either of them until it's decided, and he's not dumb.

Imagine how awkward it would be if he endorsed one candidate now and then the other clinched the party nomination. Yeah, that wouldn't be embarrassing at all.
 
You do realize most states don't have open primaries right? The most favorable Democratic electorate possible, outside of like Vermont, couldn't even give him a real win.
I'm saying that a lot of the opposition to Bernie is reliant on the narrative that he is unelectable in a GE. Meanwhile, he's crushing Hillary in NH basically on the strength of unaffiliated voters.

That seems like an interesting juxtaposition of facts, does it not?
 
What did I say about Rubio when everyone was freaking out after Iowa? I specifically said that he folds like a limp napkin under any kind of on the spot pressure. What happened between Iowa and NH? Rubio folded like a wet napkin on national stage
 
On the other hand, doesn't this make a bad case for Hillary being the stronger GE candidate? She obviously has trouble getting support outside registered democrats. Could be a bad matchup against Trump who, for whatever reason, seems to have solid support outside the typical GOP base.

Nope.

Trump is going to get slaughtered in the GE. People outside of the GOP base, literally despise the man, especially Hispanics.

The only thing that's debatable at this point is just how much is he going to lose by.
 
Good speech by Hilary so far. I like the tone. Not too aggressive and not too passive. Just the right tone.
 
not one single valid explanation as to how any of what bernie wants to do gets past a republican congress.

Because they are so pumped to work with Hillary if she wins? That argument makes no sense considering they have spent the last decade attacking Hillary as hard as they could, and she's still considered a safe bet to win.
 
Wonder how much of it was the debate. As a non-insane person myself, I can say that he came off as the only remotely plausible president on that stage.

Kasich was always expected to do well in NH. He is playing the Delegate bribe game. He has basically no other infrastructure in place but put it all in NH. I mean he openly complained Iowa was too large a state to focus on so how could he focus anywhere else.

In the end he wants the NH delegates to try and buy a position in some administration. I mean he is stated to have less than 2 million dollars left in the coffers. He is a 1 and done candidiate.
 
Now that Iowa and NH are done, shit is really going to get real. I'm really interested to see how Bernie performs in states with a demo other than white.

I wonder just how much the debate meltdown hurt him. I hadn't kept up with NH polls between then and tonight. Really wonder who the establishment will rally behind if he underperforms again.
 
If the RNC intervenes it would basically mean the end of the party. We'd have Democrat gains the likes of which haven't been seen in generations.

I'm beginning to wonder if they'll just throw in the towel this election cycle to ensure that the party isn't destroyed by Trump.

Because if he's really the nom, he won't win and it will set the party back for years.
 
this hillary speech about social issues is downright amazing,

not a single republican candidate will even utter this stuff as an issue
 
I just don't get how people can take Hillary Clinton seriously with almost anything she says. Bernie I can believe, but her? I don't believe almost anything that comes out of her mouth.

Realistically, it should kill any chance he has at the Presidency in this election cycle. I explained just how bad his response was in the initial thread and why it so badly screws him.
