Election 2016 Don't Underestimate Bernie: Sanders Poised for Potential Victories Over Clinton

-snip-

Hillary Clinton’s worst nightmare may be coming true in Iowa and New Hampshire.

According to a series of new polls, Clinton’s months-long lead in first-in-the-nation-voting Iowa has sunk to the outskirts of the margin of error, signaling that her campaign is approaching a statistical tie with Bernie Sanders.

Meanwhile, in New Hampshire, the next contest, Sanders has mantained his lead (50 percent to 46 percent) in the latest polls, which also find he would do better than she would in hypothetical matchups against various Republican presidential competitors, because he appeals more to independents.

Then, looking at Nevada, the next state in 2016's opening contests, Clinton is seen as no longer having an invincible lead, according to media reports. But she is firmly in the lead in the fourth state before March’s multi-state voting begins. In South Carolina, Clinton is averaging 69 percent to his 28 percent, although Sanders campaigned there this weekend and has visited more than she has.

GMA JUST SPENT 3+ MINS TALKING ABOUT BERNIE OVERTAKING HILARY!!!

Bernie Sanders Is a Loud, Stubborn Socialist. Republicans Like Him Anyway.

In the Sen­ate, Bernie Sanders should be all alone.

Sanders is con­stantly rib­bing Re­pub­lic­ans in his trade­mark con­des­cend­ing Brook­lyn-ac­cen­ted tone. He of­fers up le­gis­la­tion that’s so far to the left that it couldn’t get a vote even un­der Ma­jor­ity Lead­er Harry Re­id. He’s the cur­mudgeon in the Sen­ate Demo­crat­ic con­fer­ence, rarely sat­is­fied with how far his lead­er­ship will go to pur­sue pro­gress­ive policies, and not afraid to vote ‘nay’ when his lead­ers come up short. And none of his Sen­ate col­leagues, on either side of the aisle, think he could ever be elec­ted pres­id­ent of the United States; most of them even be­lieve he shouldn’t be.

But rather than earn­ing the frus­tra­tion and ire of his peers in the vein of oth­er Sen­ate hard-liners such as Sen. Ted Cruz, Sanders has man­aged to be re­spec­ted — even liked — by much of the cham­ber, ac­cord­ing to mem­bers on both sides of the aisle. The Ver­mont in­de­pend­ent ac­tu­ally has much more in com­mon with Sen. Tom Coburn, the now-re­tired “Dr. No,” whose hard-line op­pos­i­tion killed many bills in the Sen­ate but also earned him the re­spect of his col­leagues on both sides of the aisle.

Sanders also has been able to work well with his col­leagues. He’s passed bi­par­tis­an le­gis­la­tion and forged strong re­la­tion­ships with mem­bers of both parties in nearly 25 years on Cap­it­ol Hill. But most of all, mem­bers say, even when Sanders is ideo­lo­gic­ally an out­lier, he lets oth­ers know where he stands. He’s not the type to sud­denly stab a col­league in the back. And that’s earned him re­spect both on and off the Hill.

“A lot of people here talk about what they be­lieve in, but they don’t act on it,” Sen. Mark Warner said. “He al­ways acts on what he be­lieves. “¦ We can agree or dis­agree, but you know where he stands."
