the democrats need to have the most out of touch with the SJW crowd candidate as possible to have a chance at beating Trump. they need to have the least socialist ideas, the lowest tax burden, and the least race/sex/gender policy platform.
moderates are looking for a return to normalcy, not a pendulum swing in the opposite direction. and what are Bernie Bros and Warren fangirls going to do? vote for Trump? it's a binary choice.
because that worked so great in 2016. because the 'socialist ideas' are so unpopular with the average american, that almost every democrat in the field is at the very least pretending to share them this time around...

Seems like they are going to recanvas the results.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/06/upshot/iowa-caucuses-errors-results.htmlQuite a few of these are pretty egregious and I'm not sure if there's a net loss or benefit for any particular candidate at this time. Anyway, this a MASSIVE win for the Sanders campaign since he's neck and neck with Pete and he's the frontrunner in New Hampshire already. Given the uncertainty in Iowa, it seems that New Hampshire will be the state that dictates the momentum.
i just love how you repeatedly suggest 'this is a MASSIVE win for bernie', while in reality he's (once again) getting screwed by the DNC.
