See my post above about how much time Bernie has to change minds... CajunBlazer Jan 2016 #81

You mean as if Iowa and NH are isolated? As if people in all the other States Ferd Berfel Jan 2016 #85

If people ARE paying attention and Sanders numbers ARE this bad in southern states isn't that worse uponit7771 Jan 2016 #101

Then You, Hillary and the Corporations have nothing to fear Ferd Berfel Jan 2016 #104

Iowa and New Hampshire are must wins for Sanders Gothmog Feb 2016 #143
