2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumNY Times: Sanders Wins Nearly Every Demographic Group
http://www.nytimes.com/live/new-hampshire-primary-2016-election/bernie-sanders-wins-every-demographic-group/Senator Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton among nearly every demographic group in the Democratic New Hampshire primary, according to exit polls.
He carried majorities of both men and women. He won among those with and without college degrees. He won among gun owners and non-gun owners. He beat Mrs. Clinton among previous primary voters and those participating for the first time. And he ran ahead among both moderates and liberals.
Even so, there were a few silver linings for Mrs. Clinton. While Mr. Sanders bested her among all age groups younger than 45, the two candidates polled evenly among voters aged 45 to 64. And Mrs. Clinton won the support of voters 65 and older. And, though Mrs. Clinton lost nearly every income group, she did carry voters in families earning over $200,000 per year.
Not a lot to cling to for Clinton in this state - a state she won in 2008

(11,982 posts)considering she's being hit as being the candidate of the rich and the establishment, it won't help her to have lost every income demo except the over $200k.

(185 posts)If this holds true (and is duplicated in the Latino community) then this could be a game changer. And as a AA Bernie supporter Im very glad for it.
But I also fear this my get Hillary to engage in "Scorched Earth" tactics (i.e. slime/throw the "kitchen sink" to bring down Bernie favorables, make him 'toxic to other groups and attack his 'base') to force Bernie out/win the primary. And I both don't think that'll work and I don't think the party could take that.
Lets hope she finds another path. Please.

(5,066 posts)super delegates don't matter right now since they can change before convention.Bernie won more pledge delegates from NH.
of course you clinton supporters like MSM want to use super delegates,
pkdu
(3,977 posts)There will be no "change before the convention" unless Hillary releases them
