Sanders wasn't leading national polls back in 2016 as he is now, either, IIRC.

Exactly. His name recognition was still a joke nationally.

Yeah it was a totally different game. You had as clear favorite who built her firewall and only had to defend it against one candidate. Now Sanders is slightly ahead nationally, the closest alternative to him is fading meanwhile his main competition is fighting off gains from Buttigieg, Bloomberg, and Klobuchar.

Top Mueller prosecutor Aaron S.J. Zelinsky resigned from Roger Stone’s case, effective immediately, he told the court in a filing, after the Justice Department announced that it planned to change the recommendation to give Stone a lighter sentence

I think today's result, as well as South Carolina's, will add little clarity. Super Tuesday is when we will get some degree of clarity.

The latter is also when we get "Mike" (when did he start calling himself that?) Bloomberg, my pick for the nomination.

You put in all that work to prepare a case, present your evidence. Prosecute it successfully. Then have trump order DOJ to tip the scales for a buddy. I would be pissed too

Jesus. Gone for a week and when I come back, here we are, still eating each other alive over Bernie.

He'll unite the Democratic base AND bring in independents, Trump voters and disappointed Obama voters. They all cannot wait for a guy who honeymooned in the Soviet Union. Can't you tell how unifying he is?

Amy Klobuchar is leading in the NH primary. That is a shocker. She beat both Sanders and Warren! Her home state Minnesota is a couple of states away from New Hampshire. Is the NH primary really not rigged?

Amy Klobuchar – 29.6%, 8 delegates
Bernie Sanders – 14.8%, 4 delegates
Elizabeth Warren – 14.8%, 4 delegates
Andrew Yang – 11.1%, 3 delegates
Joe Biden – 7.4%, 2 delegates
Pete Buttigieg – 7.4%, 2 delegates
Tom Steyer – 3.7%, 1 delegates
Tulsi Gabbard – 3.7%, 1 delegate

So first it was rigged for Biden, then Buttigieg and now Amy. Ok.

Jesus Christ. That’s not delegates, it’s actual votes. You’re going off less than 30 votes. It’s from the early midnight voting that was released earlier. She has 8 votes right now.

Hahahaha I’m glad you excited over a massive lead of 4 votes..... yikes

I checked and read the results again and oh you are right. So no delegates announced yet. Better wait for the final result then.

No worries. I just knew the anti Bernie cult would get a hard on over wrong information and chest thump without fact checking because of confirmation bias

The polls don't close in NH until around 8 PM EST. So, we won't know for another 3-5 hours.
