Congratulations To The Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar Campaigns

[writes3000]

What an impressive over performance today! Big, big wins for both campaigns and continued momentum. I will be giving both candidates more attention going forward.

Everyone else did worse than expected but on to the next state!

Congrats again.

4. I agree that they were the big winners tonight, in terms of momentum and news coverage.

I wonder how much things will change by the time we vote here in California?

5. Psst.... Bernie won

Not sure if you heard....

6. He won, but he underperformed.

The primary schedule will be much less favorable for Bernie in March and April.

11. I wouldn't be so sure. CA, TX, MA, MI and other states could give him a lot of delegates.

13. And the tooth fairy COULD come back and make reparations.

14. What I said "could" happen is actually very likely to happen.

15. That's a matter of opinion.

Thus far none of my friends on Facebook have indicated that they are going to vote for Bernie and several of them did vote for Berniie in 2016. Some of those friends have indicated they do not plan to vote for Bernie this time.

I also am a member of two Texas Democratic groups on Facebook and the support for Bernie is lukewarm compared to 2016. It appears that Bernie has lost anywhere from one-third to one-half of his supporters in those groups They appear to support younger candidates and are disappointed in the people that Bernie has hired for his campaigm. A few people in those Facebook groups have already indicated that they will skip voting in the presidential race if Bernie is the nominee and will move to the other races down the ballot.

7. Big, huge win... oh wait...

this was the state he was supposed to dominate in. That this was in doubt all night speaks very poorly of Sanders' chance going forward. He nearly lost the only state he was guaranteed to win.

8. He won. He was expected to win but if you need acknowledgement...congrats.

9. He and Pete tied in delegates

which is, in the final analysis, what counts.

[TwilightZone]

10. By six points less than expected.

And the big delegate win in NH that many were predicting is now likely a tie.

[Horizens]

16. A Tie

He and Buttigeig both earned 9 delegates. What you call a win, I call kissing your sister.

12. Thank you,

and with class. However, of course, we’re democrats.

18. Why didn't Joe stick around?

As I hear it, he took off for SC and cancelled the party he had scheduled for this evening. One DU member who loyally supported Joe was basically crushed that Joe was skipping town and not holding the event he had promised in an e-mail earlier in the day. Truly, this is unacceptable. Joe knew he was going lose in NH. Fine, but the least he could have done was to stick around and thank his loyal NH supporters. No?

Who's advising Joe these days? Perhaps he needs new advisors.

19. Anyone but Trump but

Amy is a brilliant Yale undergrad and U of Chicago law school graduate who doesn’t carry the risks linked to Bernie or Pete. I’ll be first in line come November voting for whoever has the D after his or her name. I’m scared to death however about the ads running non stop in support of the ahole in the WH showing Bernie whooping it up with the Sandinistas or Pete and his husband getting hitched. We will lose millions of voters who aren’t looking for an economic or cultural revolution - they will certainly not stand in line for hours like they did for Obama. Trump has to go - and Amy is our safest bet to make that happen.
