Next, NH. A tiny state bordering Bernie's tiny state, but in the meantime...

1. You will like Iraq War Votes, you will....

[TheBlackAdder]

24. Wow! Keith Olbermann called this thought out 8 years ago, after the 7 minute mark.

.



Of course, you have to get past HRC's assassination comments, and her negative MLK, Jessie Jackson, and Reverend Wright points first.

28. I miss him......

MSNBC has fallen pretty far since then.

[Fearless]

2. Ooh the reframing meme!!

Pretend like Hillary really doesn't care about NH because she's going to lose.

It's like campaigning with ten year olds.

[morningfog]

3. Next, NH where Bernie will overtake Hillary in pledged delegates!

He's only down by one now.

[Atman]

4. Really? As if Iowa is representative of the rest of the country?

Nice try, though. Congratulations on the tie with the no-name guy you were supposed to beat handily.

[DanTex]

5. Actually, no, it's not. Like New Hampshire, Iowa Dems are more liberal and far whiter than the

nation as a whole. Demographically, it's Bernie country, which adds to the significance of Hillary's win.

[TwilightGardener]

9. Isn't Hillary a midwestern gal from a neighboring state?

How was it not "her country"?

[snooper2]

17. Hillary is from EVERYWHERE! well, it depends on the accent she is using at the time

[TwilightGardener]

18. "Ed-jewww-cay-shun!" LOL, I remember her phony southern accent.

I'm sure it will be back in time for South Carolina.

[frylock]

20. jeet yet?

[TwilightGardener]

22. No...jew?

[frylock]

25. teehee

[Dem2]

6. NH isn't either

It's all silliness until sometime next month...

[Atman]

7. Neither of them are! That's the point.

Who cares about Iowa and New Hampshire. I just spent the weekend in New Hampshire...I literally got mocked at a bar because I was from "Connect-EE-cut!" I live less than two hours away, but I was viewed as a pointy-headed elitist because I was from Connecticut. The state is very, very rural, except for the southern border which is the dormitory community for Bostonians. They represent nothing, just as Iowa represents nothing. Crowing about some big victory is just plain silly, as will be the crowing from Bernie supporters when he wins New Hampshire. No one actually cares!

[TeddyR]

11. At some point though

SOME state has to matter? If Bernie wins South Carolina (yeah, I know he won't) will THAT matter, or will you say that South Carolina is a "very, very rural state" with a bunch of rednecks that aren't representative of the rest of the country? Frankly, the accusation that a single state isn't representative of the rest of the country is true for many more states than not.

[catnhatnh]

12. I thought you were describing Connecticut...

"The state is very, very rural, except for the southern border which is the dormitory community for Bostonians."

...until "Bostonians"...but replace it with Manhattanites and you'll score a hit...

[Atman]

13. Have you ever visited?

Admittedly, I live in farm country in Eastern CT. But it's got about 2.5mil more people than New Hampshire, and it's 1/4 the size. There are some pretty good sized cities in CT. But you're correct, most of the population is concentrated in the "suburbs" of NYC.

[catnhatnh]

14. Connecticut born and raised....

I adopted NH over twenty years ago and never looked back....My people were oystermen working the waters off Bridgeport and the Housatonic River. I love both states but figured I'd throw an elbow to protect my home....and we would never call you a pointy-headed elitist.







We MIGHT call you a flatlander.....

[bunnies]

15. Where the hell were you?

That doesnt sound like the NH Ive lived in all my life.

[Atman]

16. At the American Legion Hall in Concord.

Not my usual hangout, but my sister bartends there and we stopped in to meet her.

[bunnies]

23. Ahhh. That explains it.

I lived in Concord for years. No matter though, ALL our Legion Halls are like that. I went to one *once* with a friend of mine. I didnt fit in there either. I promise you most of us are nothing like that. FWIW, I consider you (CT) peeps like family. We're all New England dammit!

[TwilightGardener]

8. Doesn't Illinois border Iowa? Why didn't Hillary clean up as a midwestern neighbor

in Iowa? Isn't that her peeps out there?

[bullwinkle428]

10. If Bernie takes Nevada, then #thisstateissowhite will no longer be valid.

[frylock]

19. I proudly stand with the Not Hillary Party.

[Bjornsdotter]

27. Absolutely!

Let's see....Chuck Todd said that Hillary should be wondering why half of the Democratic voters didn't vote for her.

On All Due Respect they opened with "With all due respect to Iowa, we don't do coin flips in New Hampshire."

[NurseJackie]

21. Brace yourself... :-P

Note to Jury: That's a "hornet's nest" in the animated gif. It's a reference to an old adage about "poking a hornet's nest". No candidate or candidate's supporters were insulted, smeared or attacked in this post.

26. Even black cacus goers in Iowa heavily preferred Clinton over Sanders

The laughable "black folks are feeling the BERRRRNN!11" videos currently littering this forum notwithstanding.

On the policy front, many simply found Sanders’s policies unrealistically ambitious, an over-promising of giveaways. As one woman put it, “He sounds like Oprah: ‘You get a car! And you get a car! And you get a car!’ How is he going to pay for all that?”

29. What's funny is

Every time he is asked that question, he has an answer. And has released info on payment for all of his plans.
