Hillary ends up in a virtual tie with

A independent Demercratic Socialist Senator from Vermont whom most Americans had never heard of 6 months ago even though she had spent years putting together the largest best financed campaign in the history of the Demercratic party. Hillary now moves on to fight in N.H. with little or no momentum form Iowa. Mean while Bernie arrives in N.H. at 4:30 am to crowds of enthusiastic supporters with a fresh $20,000,000 that he raised in January and the momentum of having gone toe to toe with wall streets candidate and held his own. In my opinion this was a Big win for Bernie.

The deck was stacked against Bernie and he lost by .3 of a percentage point. I think the establishment must be worried this morning.
