The Des Moines Register endorsement is the Kiss Of Death for any (D).

No Democrat who has ever been endorsed by the Des Moines Register has ever won Iowa or gone on to win the nomination.

Celebrate all you like Clinton supporters. Hillary can have this one, we don't want it.

History of the endorsements here: http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/editorials/endorsement/2016/01/22/history-register-caucus-endorsements/79158560/
