'Political Earthquake' Bernie Sanders Gained 66 Points on Hillary in One Year - 'El Ber-Niņo'



Yes, hate the network, but love the quick-fact so posting this short clip.

A year ago today, Hillary had a 44 point advantage on Bernie Sanders... now Bernie wins by 22 points -- a swing of 66 points! He did not automatically have a 'home court advantage' and Clinton herself won here against Obama, so the swing is not only a big deal, it's an indication of how fast a wind can change in this country.

That wind now blows onward to South Carolina and Nevada -- instead of concentrating on El Niño, perhaps the news should be following the 'El Ber-Niño' that is sweeping the country!

I wasn"t buying it.

Hillary won NH in 2008.

Hillary still had a comfortable lead in mid-summer.

Hillary clearly had name recognition advantage.

Hillary had the Money.

Hillary had the organization.

Hillary had the political endorsements.

Hillary gets blown out by 21 points.
