2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumPeople will remember this as a tie.
Why? Because it showed Hillary and Bernie are equally popular in Iowa.
Oh wait...

(14,733 posts)Unfortunately for Dems, they vote mostly for Republicans when the general rolls around.
Hillary is setting up for a possible primary win and a probable general loss by banking on geriatric voters to carry her into the White House.

(10,437 posts)if the choice is between hillary vs cruz/trump/rubio....voters will flock to hillary.....she can't be attacked any more in the general election then she has been attacked over the past 25yrs....

(15,951 posts)as if only the cool young voters count. Funny that it's coming from supporters of a candidate who is 74 years old and is a guy who would I'm sure does appreciate older voters as well as younger ones. Remember that Bernie is going to need older people along with younger people to ultimately win.

(24,654 posts)A caucus of party loyalists met in one state. Nothing to do with registered voters or will of the people in any sense. Can't believe we still use caucuses in the 21st century. *sigh*

(24,654 posts)I predict a difference between a broader base of registered voters and a handful of party loyalists who participate in caucuses.

(14,733 posts)so in many places he won, he won by blowouts. It's essentially the same sort of gerrymandering that gets more Republicans in the House, even though Democrats win more votes.
So Clinton wins the coin tosses, Bernie wins total votes. But in Iowa, total votes don't decide the winner.
Clinton got lucky. We'll see how she does in the long haul, now that she failed to knock him out with a big win in the state into which she was pouring all her resources.

(29,257 posts)You posted poll after poll after poll after poll...
And you were wrong so often.
It was a bad showing for Hillary. She looks wounded.
OTOH, it was a GREAT showing for Bernie. He emerged looking like a real threat.
It was a bad night for you and for Hillary.
I'm sorry, but you can't change that for all your desire to do so.

(30,099 posts)Why they rejected her platform, who rejected her platform and
the percentage that rejected her platform should worry the DNC.
The reliance on the youth vote not voting will be a mistake
by the DNC to help Clinton..the idea that money pollutes is the
problem will not go away..and all young voters get older and as they
do they'll carry Bernie's demands forward.
Bernie Sanders has lifted these political challenges to be of imminent
importance and not ones we should nor will accept as the norm for
Democrats...that is how political movements stay alive.
