2016 Postmortem

No this is not me. It's from a reddit post.
I was very surprised to see the crowds of people there as the doors opened. As usual there was a bake sale going on as well.
Lots of Bernie supporters!
What was really funny was that there were 29 names on the ballot if my count was right. I guess it doesn't take much to get your name on there

I'm guessing Bernie by 22.

I am shure that if Bernie does not win by more than 20% Hillary will declare she overcame the hometown candidate and is the true winner. I am afraid that the polls showning Bernie winning by 20+ point are a setup so that it can be called a miss if Benine only wins by nine or ten points.

(24,411 posts)I just have this feeling. It's not even based on the polls. I think the tide has turned for Bernie.
New Hampshire residents are very Independent-minded. They know they voted for Hillary the last time around and she won in NH. It's possible that many regret that decision and this election will reflect that.
I'm guessing 22. However, any win in the double digits is a huge gain for him and a big loss for her.
I don't buy the Clinton spin--that if he doesn't win by 20 here, then it is a loss. That is ridiculous and everyone knows it, including the Clinton campaign. Any loss in NH is a loss for her, especially since she tied in Iowa.
Also of note is that Obama lost NH, but he went on to win more delegates in NV. Bernie will win in NH, which bodes very well for his NV campaign. Bernie is polling 7 points ahead what Obama was during this point. NV looks great for Bernie.
