New Hampshire Results Coming In--Sanders Declared Winner!
Submitted by apenultimate on Tue, 02/11/2020 - 7:26pm
Sanders declared the winner in New Hampshire, with 90% of results in.
Right now (1:24 AM NH time), 97% precincts reporting:
Sanders: 25.9%
Buttigieg: 24.4%
Klobuchar: 19.8%
Warren: 9.3%
Biden: 8.4%
Steyer: 3.6%
Gabbard: 3.3%
Yang: 2.8%
Things are wrapping up. Maybe one or two more updates coming--then it is off to sleep!
Gabbard's run here is very disappointing, although I still favor her. She spent 98 days in the state, and around $2 million here, and managed to convince less than 10 thousand people to support her. Not looking good overall for her presidential bid.
Comments
I think that's exactly what's happening.
The number of Republicans voting for Bernie seems to be swamped by the number voting for Republidems. Of course, that assumes that the Diebold (/Premier) tabulators are even accurately counting votes. I still think Sanders should demand a hand count.
Republicans can't vote.
Only Democrats & Independents can vote in the Democratic primary.
my favorite CNN headline
see, they really would like Elizabeth Warren to do well so that would lower Bernie's numbers. How can they do that tonight when she's done so poorly?
there's no reason why they'd include Warren since she's not in the picture. And if they included her they should have included Biden.
Meanwhile Mayo's people are ssying "it's Bernie's backyard". I realize Illinois is in between Indiana and Iowa but by that argument Pete should have gotten more votes than Bernie there...which he didn't.
and now, more CNN hilarity
84% of the vote in, Bernie 63,000, Mayo 59,000. Strange definition of "dead heat".
Mayo Pete is speaking now!
He just declared victory in New Hampshire as well the upcoming races in Nevada and South Carolina. /S
Well it did work in Iowa.
For those are starting to get concerned.
Keep this in mind.
Those of us who are concerned
are waiting for Mike Bloomberg's attempt to buy the election to begin in earnest.

Biden showing consistancy over the years
His second contest in his third Presidential race and he still hasn't won a single delegate. Go Joe! No Malarkey!

Bernie's Speech

"... the reason we won here in New Hampshire tonight, and we won last week in Iowa, is because of the work of so many volunteers ..."

Could and should
have been a better night for Tulsi - I was checking various MSM (AP, CNN, Politico) last minute pre-NH coverage and she got zero mention even in longish pieces that mentioned almost every other candidate.
Then had to search around after voting closed to even find her in the results - finally did on The Hill's Rising.
That's (as an ex-girlfriend used to say) water under the dam, but I'm in for her as long as she's in the race, and she's on a plane to South Carolina.
With Biden tanking and Buttigieg and Klobuchar at about zero with black voters, hope she does better there.
Bite 'em in the ass and don't let go, Tulsi!
"What can men do against such reckless hate?"
Another word from Tulsi
If you don't know what your military is doing then you are not qualified to be president.
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
A major flop for Bernie
Rejected by three fourths of voters in his neighboring state.
Barely edged out an obscure Indiana mayor with zero national experience.
Awful. I feel really sorry for Bernie. And another fiasco like last time coming up in South Carolina.
I've seen lots of changes. What doesn't change is people. Same old hairless apes.
Disagree to a certain extent
Yes, this was closer than people expected, but there is a lot of money going into Buttigieg's efforts. Now that Biden and Warren are underperforming, the powers that be have decided to go in whole hog to Buttigieg (and perhaps Klobuchar).
However, Buttigieg and Klobuchar have almost zero traction in states like Nevada and South Carolina. With Biden looking flaccid, expect his efforts in South Carolina to fall rather flat. If Buttigieg and Klobuchar can't carry southern and western rural states, and Biden losing support everywhere--the powers that be may have painted themselves into a corner of sorts.
We may end up with a scenario where Bernie has like 1,800 delegates at the end of all of this, and Biden, Buttigieg, and Klobuchar essentially tied for 2nd place with like 700 delegates each, and Warren bringing up the rear. It would be very hard to argue that Bernie isn't the frontrunner (although I'm sure they will try).
Just one scenario I see coming . . .
You have yet to see --
the results of Mike Bloomberg's massive purchases.

Not winning on the first round is losing.
As discussed by many here. Bernie is an insurgent, the DNC will never cut him any slack. He is their enemy and they know it.
Interestingly, financial commentary (dominated by Republicans) is relieved. They hate Bernie possibly more than Bernie hates them, but they fear him too. They are overjoyed that he failed to get a majority yesterday. Of course, they actually think that Pelosi is a Socialist Liberal! I guess Liberal has just become a swear word like Conservative.

NH is a neighboring state for Liz Warren too. /nt
CNN showing delegate totals
Sanders 9, Buttigieg 9, Klubochar 6
That's all 24 pledged delegates.
50% + 1 would have been 13, so Sanders is -4 for tonight, -14 so far (see one of my earlier posts today).
HillTV said it looked like turnout was above 2016, but below 2008. I'm not sure that's good enough going forward.

That means
Buttigieg is still ahead by 1 delegate overall (Iowa plus NH).
Thank for your coverage, appenultimate and all
I noticed when looking at the blocks of voting townships, that NH has the shape of a waterfall - with votes for Sanders in watery blue falling over most of the rocky edges. What’s with it’s northern tip being solidly B?
You're welcome, janis!
Talk about Bloomberg's history next time someone says
But Bernie is not a democrat!
F that crap! He's much more one than Bloomberg is! Sheesh how can anyone get behind him?
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
Offs!
The centrists are pushing this crap against Bernie.
Ralston was the dude who made up the chair throwing accusations in Nevada. He admitted that he made it up, but some buttheads' think that telling people that Bernie is going to take away their health insurance is going to work. All someone needs to explain is that yes he is going to take away the benefit that keeps you from having higher wages and then give you better health care is going to work. Therefore your wages will go up cuz your employer doesn't have to take your health insurance out of them anymore.
The lies and half truths are something to behold cuz...reasons!

F--k Yeah, Bernie!!!
He's better than any of the centrists out there by a long shot.
I'm sure Biden's supporters are still out there knocking on doors and they forgot to show up and vote.

Hey remember this video?
DCOTN #5
This from one of the numerous anti Bernie essays. Last time he won 60%, but not tonight. Why? Well duh because he had to split the votes with other candidate. Why is this hard to understand?

and those others aren't as hated as Hillary
I've seen this before, like people can't tell the difference between 2 and 5
Are there really people who think ...
that "Oh, there are five nobodies running so I won't vote for the guy I like best"?
Having Klobuchar et al on the ballot should have taken votes away from Buttgig not Bernie.
I've seen lots of changes. What doesn't change is people. Same old hairless apes.
A lot of people . . .
who voted for Bernie in 2016 were voting against Clinton more than they were voting for Sanders. Not surprising.
It appears that Klobuchar took votes away from Biden, not Buttigieg. If you supported Biden and became upset with details coming out about Hunter, where would you go?
I think the lower Bernie turnout
is in part due to Warren peeling off support.

This sums it up pretty well. LOL
