He's just running to take Biden voters, and after will most certainly endorse Bernie.
Joke answer: he wants to survive the revolution and not to be eaten.

I can't wait for Warrenstans to explain to my why this is actually the most progressive thing to do
Are you reading those numbers right? It doesn't say anything at all about who they're voting for in 2020. Like, if 60% of voters in NH went for Bernie voters in 2016, wouldn't 60% of people coming out to vote in NH have voted for him last time?
What message is that, Tulsi? "I don't think gay people are bad anymore?"
No?
So what's the bigger picture here? Is Sanders looking like he could actually become the presidential candidate? I'm in Scotland and know it's early days but my oh my that would be sweet.
That's not what that graph is showing. Sanders had 60% last time, but in this exit poll nearly half of the voters went with Clinton and only 30% Sanders. If it's accurate, around half of Sanders' supporters from last time didn't show.
If she does then she's been a fraud and full of shit this whole time.
Media continues to play its games. When Amy finished in 5th in Iowa they made sure to broadcast her entire speech. Warren finishes in 4th in NH and they cut her off after 30 seconds only showing the part where she is saying nice things about fellow candidates.
He is alright for a billionaire and keeps the moderate vote from coalescing in NV and SC. It might prove very useful against Bloomberg come super tuesday.
I just can't believe Pete is doing so well. Surely he has no real chance.....right...? It's not simply talk that his support from minorities is non-existant?
That isn't interesting information. I know exactly what the graph is showing. Do you have an answer to my question?
But they weren't the frontrunner for the entire race nor the vice president of an incredibly popular presidency.
It's playing out pretty perfectly for Bernie. Pete has supplanted where we thought Biden would be in these states. He's made the margin a little narrower than biden would've netting a few less delegates for Bernie, but ultimately he's gonna falter when the next batch of states come up. Meanwhile him stealing all of Biden's thunder has really destroyed his "electability" and his momentum. Playing out pitch perfect so far, but there's a long way to go.

“warren is going all in on the "bernie bro" narrative because she's hired and is advised by kamala failures who were hillary failures who only live online and who only know how to lose elections they had every opportunity to win”twitter.com
Why are you posting this person's tweet? Are they a journo?
well, let's wait to see how pete does in nevada and sc... probably nowhere as good. same with amy. they got nothing going beyond these two states which they put a lot of time into.
now it gets real and now you gotta reach more than just largely white democrats

He's not done, but people in other states see him in 4th and lower, they start to lose confidence in his campaign and they may waiver when it's their turn to vote.
What blows my mind is that in 2016, many considered Warren to be more well known and popular than Bernie in progressive circles. And now look at this. That's fucking crazy to me.
And to the user above that said she'll likely drop out to endorse Klobuchar. Yeah, I bet. She lost a lot of faith from the progressive base in 2016 when she endorsed Hillary instead of Bernie.

Dudes national polling as been tanking something fierce. It's very odd and Bloombergs been soaring at his expense.
I saw a tweet saying Bill Clinton didn't win shit until the sixth primary. So...I guess don't count anyone out unless they are out.
Your question is irrelevant to the point that poster made, and if you get what the graph is showing I don't know why you wouldn't find it to be interesting. Because if it's accurate (I have no idea if it is or not) many Sanders voters from 2016 did indeed not show up.
wooooooo
bernie wins, joe and liz get 0, pokemon comes out, seth friday.
klob just needs to clinch second for this to be a perfect night.
I think he will start to tank after tonight. From what I've read he doesn't have much of a campaign infrastructure outside of Iowa and NH.

I mean Bernie ran for president in 2016 and was the runner up for Democrats, Warren didn't. Makes sense Bernie is more well known now.
How can you be electable if people from predominantly white states won't vote for you?
Biden built his campaign on his electability.
I'm torn between MSNBC being enjoyable to watch for Chris Matthews in shambles and tearing my hair out because they keep performing Olympian mental gymnastics to explain why being in first place actually isn't as good as being in second place.
It isn't interesting because it's not 2016 and there are 4x as many candidates splitting the vote. Characterizing this as "Sanders voters not showing up" is disingenuous bullshit and you should be embarrassed.
The 2016 percentages do not matter. What matters is who wins the primaries now. It's a different field with different dynamics.
There is nothing that says they wont vote for him. They made their choice in the primary season. They will make their choice in the election.
Is it? It seems that 5K lead has been there since then.
6K now.

Live results for the New Hampshire Democratic primary
Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, and Amy Klobuchar are all surging ahead of the "first in the nation" primary.

These are tiny states. The City of Philadelphia has more people than the entire state of New Hampshire. Philly is only the 5th most populated city in the US. These races are more about perception than actual votes.
