Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton pauses while speaking during a campaign event at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2016. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky) Politico, the Washington Post and Fox News all report that the results in the Democratic race in Iowa between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders is too close to call.
Both Democratic candidates received approximately 50 percent of the vote, with only 0.1% to 0.4% separating them. In most of the data, Sanders is trailing Clinton, but the gap is so small that not one serious pundit is willing to call it for anyone, which -- of course -- doesn't prevent the Clinton camp from claiming victory nonetheless.
But there's nobody who's running with that.
This is a situation in which a draw is actually a defeat for Clinton. And a big one too. Early last year, Hillary was leading Sanders by 50 percent. She's lost that lead completely and is trailing Sanders in New Hampshire; chances are that the Vermont senator will pull off a clean win there.
And that brings me to Hillary Clinton as a candidate: she's so weak that she can't beat an elderly socialist who can't speak English, and who looks like he sleeps in his car. That's how bad she is.

Drudge had it that the results from 90 Democrat precincts is missing, what a surprise!
That there is some first rate headline writing. lol...

Currently, with 95.9% reporting, Hillary leads by 49.8% to 49.6%. This is not a “win” to inspire confidence. I’m going to have the popcorn ready for the next couple of Dem elections.
From Drudge as of this writing.
CLINTON 696
SANDERS 692
I think you’re right. Even if Clinton wins; she loses. It sounds like she lost the youth vote. No way can she win the nomination without it.
Can another candidate still get in the race now that the primaries have started?
Keep Hillary in the cycle- then follow her around pestering her about her various scandals
Bernie won a huge moral victory.
Half of Democrats have rejected Hillary.
And she is going to be creamed by the Bern in NH.
He has the Big Mo out of IA.
” looks like he sleeps in his car”
Lol! Spot on!
College kids love Bernie cause he’s like that crazy old hippie uncle who smokes pot with them and wears Che Guevara t shirts
He does look like he sleeps in the car!
LOL!
I laughed the Elizabeth Warren caricature, it is SO true! XD
This is like it’s 1968 and it’s YAF vs SDS. I wish the elite could be pushed out of the way and the kids (under age 60 or so) could learn a thing or two!
To lose to the Magic Negro is almost understandable but to lose to an old white commie is a whole other thing. Just sayin.
So I wonder what the Over-Under is on ole-Joe warming up in the Bull Pen, since the Dems do not want Bernie to be the candidate and Fauxcahantas does not want the scrutiny that a national campaign would (maybe) bring?
