Why Bernie Sanders Won Super Tuesday (article by Cenk Uyger in HuffPost)

[BigBearJohn]

Going into tonight it was unclear what was going to happen because the polling was so shoddy in some states, especially Colorado and Minnesota. Those two states are so important because of what they mean for the future.

It turns out that Hillary Clinton won all of the states she was supposed to win -- and a narrow victory in Massachusetts (remember she won Mass. by 15 points against Obama and still lost the primary in 2008). But Bernie Sanders had resounding wins in CO & MN. Those two states are much more indicative of the states that are coming in the rest of the primary schedule.(emphasis added)
All of these Southern states were Hillary Clinton's best states (by the way, also irrelevant places to have strength in for the general election). She's used up most of her ammo and doesn't even know what kind of trouble she's in. Right before the voting, she pivoted toward the right again in anticipation of the general election. Big mistake. She can't help herself; she lives and breaths arrogance.

Tonight could have been the knock out punch if Clinton had won CO & MN. But she didn't! She lost them big. Now, he has a $40 million war chest and favorable map in front of him. Feel the Bern!

Time is on Bernie's side. The more he runs, the more people find out about him. Everyone already knows Clinton. She's gaining no new voters. Every day he gains ground. So, now he lives to fight many other days. She is in a race against time and she didn't close the door tonight. Tick, tock. Tick, tock!

1. I totally agree Hillary's time is up!

President Bernard Sanders has a nice ring to it.

[BigBearJohn]

3. You said it!!

[fredamae]

2. This is The Peoples Campaign

VS The Corporate Campaign.
The People VS Big Money. Or- How to get Big Money Out of Politics.

[peacebird]

28. Exactly!

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. Blue States won't be very kind to Ms. Conservative, Inevitable Clinton.

She also has 100 FBI investigators investigating her AND an INDICTMENT hanging over her head.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[Cobalt Violet]

9. and hopefully those transcript will come out!

she's hiding something or they would be out already.

Go Bernie!

[in_cog_ni_to]

27. Yep! You know the GOP has copies of those speeches already.

Guilt by omission. If she was innocent, they would have been released immediately.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

25. who seems to win everywhere RICH Trump wins

She's literally saying I'm for the Rich an Conservatives. Even the media can't spin that

[Nyan]

5. I loved reading this article partly because

You could almost hear Cenk saying these words with all of his intonations

[Keithmanek]

6. Bernie Sanders caucus Boulder County precinct

Bernie won my precinct 82 to Hilary's 38. People in Boulder CO are feeling the Bern and more and more people feel the Bern once people hear his message. The establishment doesn't want him to win. Go Berne Go!!

[truebluegreen]

15. Long live the People's Republic of Boulder!

(my home town) I was there in spirit.

And Welcome to DU!

[Keithmanek]

18. Thank you fellow Boulder resident

I'm new to Democratic Underground and I love it. Greetings from Boulder. I am trying and I want to tell myself that if and only if Bernie doesn't win the primaries I will vote for Hilary in the general but the lies Hilary is telling and the now what I am hearing about Bill basically campaigning in Massachusetts for Hilary during voting which by the way is illegal. The clintons are doing everything they can to make sure us Bernies supporters don't vote for Hilary in the fall (if and only if she wins the primary). We expect this from Trump, Cruz and any other of those fascists running on that side but us Democrats are supposed to be better.

[truebluegreen]

37. Just out of curiosity, where is your precinct?

I caucused back in '08; not for Hillary--she wasn't popular then either. (embarrassed to say I went for Edwards; Obama was my second choice)

[MidwestTech]

17. I caucused for the first time ever... 40 to Bernie 23 to Hillary

I'm from california originally so this "caucus" thing was always a quaint, old fashioned idea to me.
Why not just primary like any normal, modern state.

I was wrong.

When I'm able I think I'll write an OP about my first ever caucus and what an amazing experience it truly is. how connected to the system I felt... I also seemed to have been wrangled into being a delegate now too.

[in_cog_ni_to]

30. Welcome to Du and thank you to your precinct! BOULDER ROCKS!

PEACE
LOVE

7. He has completely lost all credibility now...

I used to look to tyt for the real news but he's put himself into his own bubble.

[revbones]

29. Oooh noes! Cenk said something unflattering about my candidate! He has no credibility now!

Sheesh.

[artyteacher]

35. lol...

It's not one thing. They've been going downhill for months.

And he recently predicted Bernie would win the nomination. He went from smart and on top of things to letting his desires cloud his vision.

He's just a fool now.

[TM99]

42. Unlike pontificaters like yourself

on the internet?

You must not have been watching the same coverage I did last night. He was very realistic about the numbers. He admitted his biases because he is a progressive that supports Sanders. He is a lot more political savvy apparently then some around here.

[Thespian2]

8. HRH wins big

in the South...thanks, Cenk...Except for Virginia and Mass (where they essentially tied), these states are Repukkkian states...

Should she steal the nomination (i.e. Bubba breaking the law in Mass), say hello to the new president, Donald Drumpf...

[obamanut2012]

16. How was Virginia essentially a tie?!

lolz

[Thespian2]

41. the parenthesis indicate

the words inside apply to the word they follow...

[Geronimoe]

10. It ain't over until the last vote is counted

And Bernie is in it to the Convention.

[DinahMoeHum]

14. Agreed. There are still over half the states waiting for their turn. . .

. . .in the primaries:

24. Nice link-thanks.

[Kip Humphrey]

11. Best analysis of the night!

[FloriTexan]

12. Kick!

[Faux pas]

13. Kicketty Kickin'

[ChiciB1]

19. Thank You Cenk... TICK, TICK, TICK! n/t

[rickford66]

20. The obvious.

"All of these Southern states were Hillary Clinton's best states (by the way, also irrelevant places to have strength in for the general election)."

The Southern states will not give the Democrat any electoral votes.

[WillyT]

21. HUGE K & R !!! - THANK YOU !!!

[floppyboo]

22. Clinton's Sober Tuesday eom

[SoLeftIAmRight]

23. She is in a race against time

irrelevant places to have strength in for the general election

favorable map in front of him

Tick, tock. Tick, tock!

Feel the Bern!

[in_cog_ni_to]

32. We and Bernie have all the time in the world and

he has an endless supply of money from WE THE PEOPLE. As he moves across this country, he will pick up more and more donors! We're not going anywhere! Neither is he!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[WDIM]

26. Sanders came out of Obscurity and is defeating Clinton in Key States.

What his movement has done in 8 months is outstanding!
Anything could happen in the next 3 months.

[TexasBushwhacker]

31. And then there's the FBI e-mail investigation

And the head of the FBI is a Republican. So the question is, will she be indicted before the convention or after.

[in_cog_ni_to]

33. Yeah, then there's that!

What would be less traumatic for this already suffering country? BEFORE THE CONVENTION.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[TexasBushwhacker]

34. Yeah, but if the really want to fuck us up

They'll wait until AFTER the convention.

[in_cog_ni_to]

36. I honestly believe, they'd rather have a Repub in the WH than Bernie.

Bernie stops their gravy train. The Repub won't. Bernie knows who's corrupt too...and they fear him exposing them. Though we already know most of them are on-the-take useless scumbags.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[truebluegreen]

38. I agree. Excellent recap and analysis.

But on the other hand, if the (alleged) Republican is Drumpf, or the well-hated and very scary Ted Cruz, TPTB might think twice.

If the stakes weren't so high it would be hilarious.

[wordpix]

39. just hoping Bernie will stay the course

another $27 donation today

[TTUBatfan2008]

40. Problem with dismissing the South...

...is that their delegates count in the primary process. Regardless of how the general election goes, Bernie is getting beat by 30, 40, 50 points in Southern states and that is going to make it very, very difficult for him to make a strong enough comeback to win the nomination.
