While Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has again (for now) been put on the back burner of the major media, which are focused on the latest insults offered by Republican candidate Donald Trump, he has a far better chance than most pundits realize of winning the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary.
It is far too early to make any serious predictions about any primary or caucus battle in either party, but I will predict one thing with high confidence: Sanders will perform significantly better in early caucus and primary states than polls suggest or insiders believe.
The reason is that Sanders has two things that are pure gold in presidential politics. First, he has intensely devoted and idealistic supporters who are passionately committed to his cause and will turn out in droves on caucus and primary days. Second, he has powerful means of communications through social media, the Internet generally, and word of mouth among his devoted supporters that drive his message, his small-donor fundraising and his statewide organizations in ways that are not visible on political television and poorly understood by political pundits.

Bernie Sanders is this year’s Howard Dean.
But hasn’t Hillary already secured (paid off) five hundred Super Delegates to win the convention? So really, nothing matters at this point. Screw Iowa and their idiot cockisses.
He could be this year’s Barack Obama as well.
The media is creating an aura of invincibility for Hillary not realizing that they are setting her up for an implosion if she loses Iowa or New Hampshire.
The implosion that the pundits have been predicting for Trump will actually happen to Hillary. Mark my words.
the media narrative will indeed flow with the results if she loses the first 2. Her aura of inevitability will be gone and then anything can happen.
Bernie could get 99% of the vote and he will be dismissed by the MSM as a fluke.
That would bed SOOOOOOOOOOOOO funny to watch! :-)
Fluke maybe. Flake, for sure.
Not surprising. The old commie sanders looks a lot more honest than Hillary. And people are soooooooooooooooooodamned tired of being lied to (Hillary, Obama, Kerry, etc). And he doesn’t have her antagonistic personality. And amazingly there’s no better option being offered on the D side (?!!!!!!!!!!!!)
don’t ride in any small private planes, Bernie.
I would rather see Sanders as POTUS than Hillary. He may be a socialist but he has a much better record on the 2A than she does. And if Trump is such a joke like the liberals seem to think, they shouldn’t be afraid to run the most socialist candidate they can find because he’s sure to win,
Karl Marx HATED the middle class.
He didn’t have a single idea that was geared towards helping the middle class.
But you middle class Marxists keep voting Sanders. :)
If Hillary loses IA and NH, the DNC will step in and put someone in. Bernie is too much of a wild card, and uncontrollable.
Oh, he is a whack job for sure.
The size of the plane does not matter. Ask Ron Brown.
wouldn’t that just frost the Hildebeaste?
I don’t these people realize how much Hillary is hated.
Sanders only has to win one of these, and it could change. I don’t think people know what he says.
If he is their nominee it would be a devastating effect on the dems.
Socialist Sanders v Totalitarian Clinton = freedom of choice in the ‘Rat party 2016.
Hillaryous
That is a huge M.O.E.
