and the mighty myth of invincibility ate it

and how is getting 6000 more votes crashing?

...about Holly!

Thanks again!

49.6% in 2016. 26.1% in 2020. That's a very significant drop in support ... unable to get tens of thousands to go out for him a second time. I wouldn't call that a resounding success.

love liz and biden but if second is unsuccessful I hate to think what 4th and 5th are

He had nearly 80,000 votes before and 40-some thousand votes this time. That's a major loss of support. If he had kept the same level of support, it should've been a runaway victory, in a caucus state where activists have a distinct advantage. But you asked why the word "crashed" was used .... there it is.

we both know there were many more candidates in this caucus than last time so the vote naturally will be split...hopefully the democratic turnout in general will not have a major loss of support

That will end instantly once a nominee is chosen. Are the Sanders supporters ready to do the same thing if they lose?

Why not now?

and have sent complaints to each campaign, each time they've done it, to stop.

Sadly, I know too many who chose Stein or to sit it out last time

...be best served by Buttigieg winning NH. I think a lot of DUers recognize this, because there's post after post touting Buttigieg's "big" win in Iowa. Buttigieg isn't really that much of a threat due to his total alienation of Black folks and his lack of experience. He doesn't have the kind of following that can make up for that in the way Sanders does. Sanders losing NH would benefit Biden.
