Hillary's campaign could actually be over tonight.....(Bernie sticks a fork in her)

one man's opinion...

[ken5050]

It's remarkable how absolutely nobody is willing to state the obvious: that Iowa tonight could actually end Clinton's campaign for the White House. One of the unique characteristics of a "high water mark" is that you don't recognize it until AFTER the water has begun to recede.

Hillary: The Other White Meat!

Bernie has no chance of winning the nomination. Hillary has essentially all of the superdelegates sewn up. The way the Dem primary is set up, the Party has a process to make sure that something like a Bernie Sanders primary win is impossible by using superdelegates. It's extremely undemocratic.

How many congresspeople have endorsed Bernie? Two?

[cyclotic]

I should have said gets trounced so bad she drops out which of course she’s too arrogant to consider.

[BenLurkin]

There would only be one way to stop Hillary...

[MIchaelTArchangel]

While a stake through the heart will kill a vampire, I have never seen one vampire drive a steak through the heart of another vampire before!

I come form the south, and all my old high schools classmates, who are liberal, are posting about Bernie constantly. There was recently a rally in Birmingham, and they literally had people fainting, etc.

Hillary has no special advantage in the south...in fact, she rubs all my southern sensibilities the wrong way (especially the fake accent).

I’m actually terrified at the notion of Sanders winning the whole contest, but I think he’s surging right now.

[BamaAndy]

Would love to see the entitled one get exactly what she deserves. Would love to see her humiliated, knowing full well, the dizzy dems would have to vote against her in numbers to overcome the cheating.

[TexasRepublic]

I don’t know which “Democrat” scares me worse, the commie or the commie.

I have no idea what you're on.. New Hampshire and Iowa likely aren't going to be especially kind to Clinton, but she'll clean up in the southern states.

If you compared superdelegate counts at this point, Sanders would need to win 176% of Iowa and 290% of New Hampshire to just tie going into the southern states. (I provide the percentages, as well, we're talking Democrats, and percentages higher than 100% are not just possible, but likely...)

That's just to tie those who have already announced their support. If you add in those who are leaning, Bernie would have to win South Carolina as well with 192% of the vote. Aside from the tip of New England, his support peters out.

(I still get a kick about how an independent is in contention for the Democrat nod; man, we'd string such a creature from the rafters around here.)

Now, the real danger is if Hillary doesn't do a knock out punch to Sanders by the first week of March. Should that fail to happen, a Bloomberg or another person jumping in is likely.

But no, Hillary's future doesn't hinge on Iowa.

[ken5050]

I think either Biden and/or Warren jump in..but that’s a few weeks off.

[nascarnation]

Too late to get on most state primary ballots, right?

So have to annoint them at brokered convention.

[scottinoc]

Yep! Feet sticking out from under the house, that’s all I’m going by.

[ken5050]

After two really bad losses, the aura of invincibility/inevitability is GONE..period...then everyone starts taking about Biden and Warren..

[Blue Jays]

You and I share the same fear...and that is the crux of the matter.
We could have Trump or Cruz competing with him, yet if Sanders promises enough free sh1t to dumb people, they might actually pull the lever for him!
What those same dimwits don't understand is the people with $10M+ incomes will simply move elsewhere, precisely because they have the wherewithal to do so.

[Rusty0604]

As much as I’d like to see Hillary go down in flames, I’m afraid Bernie may be harder to beat in the general.

[ConservativeDude]

It’d be great. But I say no way.

The Clintons never quit.

And so far at least, they are pretty well unstoppable. Well 08 she was stopped, but otherwise...they are unstoppable.

We shall see, however!

[Teacher317]

I do think if Trump pulls an upset and wins in Iowa it’s lights out for the rest of the GOP field.

They won't pull out until the end. The GOPe needs to prevent Trump from getting a simple majority in any state (which is much easier to do this year since they changed the nomination rules in 2012 after the TEA Party scared them, and it is always easier to do ith bigger fields). Further, it is "conventional wisdom" that the most likely person to beat Trump is Trump, so sticking around until the bitter end is not an unreasonable strategy.... plus the candidates get to keep campaign money, so they have that incentive as well. The GOPe isn't going to ask anyone to leave early for the sake of appearances if the top names aren't GOPe guys.

[IFly4Him]

It's extremely undemocratic.

Let's hope Bernie wins all the public contests and exposes their process...

[Godebert]

Can’t wait to see Hillary and her skanky Persian hand-maiden, Huma Abedin, perp walked.

[njslim]

I was thinking along lines of Bernie dropping the house on
Hillary ala “WIZARD OF OZ”.......

Cant wait to see her toes curled up sticking out from under house.......
