Iowa a +23 in impact. NH +12. S. Carolina w/ more delegates than both a +8. 14 state Super Tues. w/ 6 Southern states incl. Texas w/ 261 delegates a +30 only 7 more than white Iowa. Early and white the best! This guy is so out of touch.

Sad no one payed attention to Bernie.

'So apparently the candidate in 3rd place is a bigger story than the candidate in 2nd place, who in turn is a bigger story than the candidate in 1st place? OK.'

Bernie gets a .5 for Iowa loss. LOL Twitter was incredulous.

And why does Bernie lead in polls? Because Nate alters his numbers to put him there. Monday alone (the fine print at 538 says he can do this) -

People have got to stop drawing comparisons to '92. It has the opposite effect you think it does. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #16

Sure... But lets not cherry pick when we care about minority votes booley Feb 2020 #10
