Bernie Sanders was supposed to run away with the New Hampshire primary. This is his kind of state, where Democrats are mostly educated liberals. Yet the national celebrity from next-door Vermont bested Pete Buttigieg, recently an unknown from Indiana, by less than 4,000 votes. It appears they are both walking off with nine delegates. And that was after Buttigieg had split the moderate vote with Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, who came in a strong third.

This was a second weak showing for Sanders. In the Iowa caucuses, a contest custom-made for an archliberal with an activist base, he tied with Buttigieg.

Ask Sanders’ ardent supporters how a socialist with wildly unpopular positions (for example, extending government health care to illegal immigrants) can win a general election and they say this: There’s an enormous pool of nonvoters who will turn out just for Bernie.

But all those hidden voters never seem to show up. The recent Iowa caucuses attracted about the same number of Democrats as in 2016 — but 64,000 fewer than in the record year of 2008, when Barack Obama was the electrifying candidate. New Hampshire participation was higher than it was four years ago, but, interestingly, fewer young voters showed up this time.

President Donald Trump obviously dreams of having an opponent like Sanders. Trump told reporters that he’d rather run against Mike Bloomberg than Sanders, which, of course, means the opposite.

As in 2016, Trump and his trolls are working for Bernie. They went full blowtorch against Joe Biden when he was seen as the strongest Democrat but didn’t lay a glove on Bernie. On the contrary, they continued to nurse Sanders’ grievances against the Democratic Party.

Should Sanders be nominated, Trump will joyfully unleash his war machine on the lefty from Vermont. Sanders has a lot of weird political and personal baggage to rifle through.

Disturbing Trump’s sleep, however, is Bloomberg. The former New York mayor has yet to participate in a debate or run in a caucus or primary, but polls have him rising rapidly among Democrats. And in matchups against Trump, Bloomberg does better than anyone else.

In New Hampshire, the two left-wing candidates — Sanders and Elizabeth Warren — together amassed only 35 percent of the vote, and the moderates — Buttigieg, Klobuchar and Biden — won 53 percent. This was hardly a rousing thumbs-up for a Sanders candidacy.

Clearly, the Democratic majority will have to unite behind a moderate. My hopes for Biden have dimmed, though the lights still flicker. Buttigieg and Klobuchar are both splendid candidates, and I wish them the best in Nevada and South Carolina.

But they may have to eventually make way for Bloomberg firepower. Bloomberg’s massive spending has undoubtedly worked to improve his numbers, but a billionaire’s deep pockets can’t do it alone. Ask Tom Steyer.

Bloomberg is a unique candidate. He has a huge fortune but also a massive record in public service — including more experience in a tough executive office than anyone else running for president. He’s pitch-perfect on most issues, especially climate change and gun control. As for wide appeal, he was elected three times in one of America’s most liberal and racially diverse cities.

And Bloomberg is totally unafraid of Donald Trump. His business success, calm demeanor and sensible stances would attract many independents and some Republicans. And, yes, his money will help.

But we are getting ahead of ourselves. The first two contests of the 2020 election show Sanders as prince of the far left in a party whose moderates are king. What’s remarkable about Sanders’ performance so far is how unremarkable it has been.

A few months ago this shit seemed boring. Biden would run against Trump and win in a landslide. But Biden is senile and that makes it lit.

So now we get one of these:
The Battle of the Billionaires - Trump v. Bloomberg
Will you hit my Employees before I fire them - Trump v. Amy
Capitalism vs. Socialism Superbowl - Trump v. Bernie
The Shower Thoughts of Who's this guy? - Trump v. Pete
Campaign with me at Wounded Knee - Trump v. Warren
Mental Breakdown 2020 Sponsored by Burisma - Trump v. Biden

And everything's still possible so maybe HRC returns from the depths.

See, there is a reason why she is a 2% candidate.

"Present".

Trump had to be impeached because he is the most corrupt president in the history of the United States, and a signal had to be sent to America (and the rest of the world) by a few good men and women. They did it because it was the right thing to do, the decent thing to do even though they knew it wouldn't remove him from office, because doing nothing would mean being complicit. History will remember them for it.
History probably won't remember Tulsi.

What he means to say is that the media desperately tried to dig up any dirt they could on Sanders but couldn't find any.

Meanwhile there's so much dirt on Bloomberg they're trying to get it all out of the way at once so they can convince people it's "old news".

I will sign an executive order on the first day as President to reinstate the DACA program for young people and their parents. And we will put an end to Trump’s horrific ICE raids.

Lawyer Michael Avenatti has been found guilty on all counts of trying to extort up to $25 million from Nike.

The verdict was confirmed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan, which brought the case.

Avenatti faces a statutory maximum of 20 years in prison. A judge set sentencing for June.
After his poor showing in Iowa and NH, how might this alter his Nevada chances?

Even asking the question about whether they would support Sanders elicited eye rolls and stone-faced stares from three of Miami’s four congressional Democrats.

“He’s not going to be the nominee,” Rep. Donna Shalala said when asked if she would campaign for Sanders should he win the nomination. “That’s a hypothetical question and since I don’t think he’s going to be the nominee, I don’t have to answer the question.”

“How many delegates has he won?” Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell said. “I’m seriously considering endorsing another candidate, that’s my answer to you.”

“We’re a long way from who is going to be our nominee and so that speculation is really not helpful at all,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said.

Quote
Wasserman Schultz, the former leader of the Democratic Party during the 2016 cycle, said she’s thinking more about Congress right now.

“We are a long way from who our nominee is going to be and at this point I am focused on making sure we are holding on to our House majority,” Wasserman Schultz said.
