Anthony Weiner: “I Wouldn’t Be Surprised” If Bernie Sanders Won Iowa, New Hampshire

Huma's hubby gives a surprising radio interview:
https://soundcloud.com/buzzfeedandrew/anthony-weiner-on-alan-colmes-show

"Bernie's doing remarkably well... A lot of my friends are supporting Bernie"
It also sounded like he thinks millennial turnout may be a problem for Hillary. ?

A brief and seemingly strange conversation.


Anybody care to share comments or insights about this?

not good enough and Clinton does better than expected. Plus they want to motivate her voters.

It's the game Clinton played when he ran.

Why do you think CNN got two skewed polls in favor of Bernie?

Were there methodology issues, or was it just the fact that it was CNN?

4. There were methodology issues - which seem intended to intentionally skew results in favor

of Bernie. One issue was men were over polled (and thus women obviously under polled).

I think you can basically get any poll result you want and they use it to drive the narratives they want to use to manipulate.

I didn't see anything that told me that more men were polled than women. Could you direct me please?

17. Well, if that is not the case, then the person interviewed by Halperin (I think it was) lied. But

it might also be a plea for understanding should Sanders win--"make me Fed Chairman!"

I like what he's saying but I'm baffled as to how he has any credibility at all.

I bet the Clinton campaign is working this. The name Anthony Weiner can only inspire negative reactions. I suspect the strategy is having the names paired could tranfer those negative reactions to Bernie.

Claire McCaskill just declared that Hillary Clinton is now the underdog.

This isn't surprising or anything new. Six months ago if Sanders came close in Iowa and won NH it would be a major victory. Now there is an expectation that he can win both states.

In politics it's always good to lower expectations. That is all Mr. Danger is doing here.
