Oh god, if those numbers hold and Rubio ends up 5th I will, literally, do things that are illegal in 39 states.

Being aggressive can also backfire - what did that get Christie?
He might have won if he didn't shit the bed on Saturday.
This is a modern day dean scream, wow

Who knew Rubio would malfunction on live TV?

This defensive embargoed Hilary letter they are talking about on how they can win is cringey. I am so confused by her campaign leadership.

It looks like she does, but that depends on if it is an IW and NH thing . She probably won't have a demo problem further south. Either way she did pretty bad even if it was expected to that she will get around 10% - 15%. She'll most likely change strategies now.

It doesn't matter if Dems become fuckwits and don't nominate Clinton anyway
Right? They're screaming they knew they'd lose (which to be fair, we all knew) but you'd think they'd at least pretend to be surprised.

I never thought I'd be thankful to Chris Christie for anything.
I'm not that type of person who says "I told you so".
No wait, I'm exactly that type of person.
But oh noes, what's that? I can't believe it! OMG IT'S JOHN KASICH MUSIC!!!!
EVERYBODY PANIC!
Id be okay with President Bloomberg.
She knows it will backfire because his appeal isn't really one where a rational hard-edged argument actually works.
Her current tactic is to let him expose himself as being really really under-prepared at the debates, which seems like it's working. She has to go in the tank w/ her team and sort this stuff out though.

I don't see what the big deal is, EVERYBODY knew she was losing tonight, and they are acting shocked that they were expecting the loss

Seems more like her message is "I'm a woman and I am Obama's 3rd term." And the collective response of many, especially younger people, seems to be "so?" Which goes back to candidates mattering. Obama didn't explode because he's black. He was the right candidate in a way Jesse Jackson Jr. isn't, for instance. I'm not seeing the historical nature of Hillary's campaign being particularly effective. But it's early...we'll see.
I think Elizabeth Warren would have been able to do this more effectively, for instance. She's a good politician, Hillary isn't.

Yep. He definitely will when he drops out.
Warren combines the issues of both Clinton and Sanders into one amazingly unelectable candidate. (And I say this as someone who likes her.) Contrarians and the leadership position are normally not a good mix.
The identity politics angle really has to be dropped. Sadly, they won't be able to muzzle people outside of the campaign from making those bad arguments.

Marcosoft might get zero delegates, lol.
Awww yeah - he's going to be even more boastful than ever.
(Congrats to the Bernie fans, too - this is a fun night!)
That would be amazing.

If the GOP actually nominates Trump, then Warren could have won in a walk. But who saw that coming six months ago? Not Warren or Biden, obviously.
Dammit I was confused for while with the Marcosoft now I get what people are saying lol

To be fair, I don't think he'll finish in third.

Elizabeth would probably be a better Bernie. I wonder since I don't watch speeches or rallies from anyone really; how did she campaign? The economist article seems to be right at least in some case. She really isn't blowing the world on fire and new election people are basically are bored and want a fresh face at least in some case. It is going to be very hard for Hillary to portray herself that way.
Although, all this is probably premature at this point, what matters is how Hillary adapts now and how the rest of the early states reacts.
He looks like he's been wandering through the desert without water for days.
Cheebo bet that Rubio gets first in SC. Slight amendment to the 3-2-1 strategy. 8)

Russ Feingold would've been my choice for a superior Bernie. God I wish he had won reelection.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Glad Rubio is getting crushed here, but I do worry a bit about Cruz pulling off a lot of states soon because of the far right. The guy is a nut and would be the scariest GE candidate in decades.
"So far hes cracked fourth place in only one town of any real size, Portsmouth, and just barely."
This motherfucker is getting FIFTH

The Sanders-Clinton spread is now out to 15%, could go wider; terrible optics. Disarray.

Remember Republicans have a 10% minimum threshold for delegates here.

The results are right in line with the polling, yet the reporting is basically concern trolling at this point

Disappointing because I was hoping for some sort of a comeback. 10-12% margin for Bernie
