Oh, I know that. But I mean on this thread, it's not been much discussed much. It's the same old stuff going on for pages and pages.
Never mind.

Do you follow politics? Bernie wasn’t even leading in NH until the last few weeks. It was never a given for him to win that. Warren was leading it in most polls from September to October. Then it was a tossup for Buttigieg, Biden and Sanders breaking in a few times until early January. Then Sanders didn’t take a consistent polling lead until a Jan 13-16 poll. Bernie surged in the last month to take that lead. Buttigieg had a lead and lost it. After he did it was a consistent Bernie #1, Buttigieg #2. So your assessment isn’t even correct by any evaluation of the data.
But let’s take your argument:
1. Sanders won
2. This NH primary had the highest turnout ever beating the 2008 record.
3. Sanders won the largest NH primary ever carrying the most independents of any of the candidates
And beyond that if you think Bernie has a weak “can he beat Trump” argument. Everyone else is in a worse position.
Why can Bernie beat Trump. He’s winning, he has the most independents and progressives, easily the most diverse coalition, still polls as one of the most popular politicians, he’s leading a crowded primary process right now, he pretty much consolidated the progressive wing in a way the moderates are still looking for an option.
So really, by all your metrics, Bernie does the best.
Speaking of "winning":
No signs, no gate, few guards: Are Mar-a-lago intruders actually trespassing?
It's a national security nightmare that would have ended a Democratic presidency.The lack of security infrastructure at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club seemingly contributed Wednesday to the exoneration of a Chinese woman accused of trespassing.
Lu Jing, 56, told the court Tuesday that she understood club security “didn’t want me there” after she went through the open front gate of the private, members-only club in Palm Beach on Dec. 18. She left, only to return to the president’s primary residence through an un-gated service road accessible from South Ocean Boulevard. Prosecutors called Lu’s escapade into Mar-a-Lago a “calculated decision.”
But jurors seemed to have doubts as to whether Lu knew she was not allowed at the president’s primary residence. Lu’s public defenders pointed out that the members-only club did not post signs warning against trespassing or taking photographs. There was no guard at the service road either — which is actually a staff exit marked only with a “One-Way” traffic sign.
On Wednesday, Lu was acquitted of the trespassing charge, even as it became clear during a Tuesday trial that she had twice set foot on club grounds without permission. She was convicted of a single misdemeanor charge of resisting an officer without violence.
