(14,818 posts)This was predictable months ago. A few twists with NV thrown in this cycle, but entirely predictable.
A lot of us have been saying to ignore IA and NH. Wait for SC and super tuesday.
Not a bad prediction, if I must say so...

(58,785 posts)everyone for over a year, during which Sanders dropped as low as 11% and couldn't get near breaking out of the second tier. Then Sanders and Biden suddenly flipped poll positions right before IA.
We're supposed to believe that the same Democrats who voted overwhelmingly mainstream to create the midterms' blue wave, rejecting almost all Sanders-approved candidates, suddenly wanted socialist revolution lead by someone only 15% or so had liked for the year up to the past couple weeks?
So, obviously "comeback" is nonsense. This is the normal demonstrated consistently for the past two years, albeit negatively affected by the strange events of IA-NH. Without their lift and the predictions of him suddenly being unstoppable, Sanders would be doing a lot more poorly today.
In this dangerous, corrupted era when Russia and other nations are trying to use our elections to destroy us, we need to be prepared for normality to seem to disappear again. And I think it's only right to suspect all bizarre aberrations reminiscent of autumn 2016.

(3,697 posts)The results this year has given the Dem party more than enough evidence that we should not begin our Primary season with 2 caucuses and a tiny state that is 92% White. Folks were fools to write Biden's obituary based on those 3 votes.
The demographics of the party is completely different than it was in the 80s and even 90s. It's time to align the Primaries in accordance with that new reality.
