Isn’t this the same system that nominated Barack Obama? I am confused.
I think he had super delegates like Hi Larry. This is the first year they don’t.
Doomberg is the wild card. They won’t be able to resist his money.
Yes-she is trying to get on the VP short list for these Dem old white guys-but going back to 1952, I don’t see a nominee of EITHER party who didn’t come in at least 1st or 2nd in either Iowa or New Hampshire.
e.g. Reagan came in 2nd to Bush in 1980 in Iowa but won New Hampshire and there were 6 candidates so full fields are not that unusual.
In Iowa, 1992 with an Iowa Dem Senator running, and sex scandals breaking Bill Clinton finished 3rd or 4th if you count uncommitted, but finished 2nd in New Hampshire
McCain came in a close 4th in Iowa in 2008 and won New Hampshire , these are the WORST I have found and note they each came in either 1st or 2nd in one of the two.
If that holds it means the nominee for the Dems would be either Sanders (my bet) or Buttigieg
Biden might defy history because the country has higher % “people of color” in other states but I don’t think so.
