MSNBC has been reporting that a spokesperson for her campaign has declared victory. They are still reporting it this very second.
Sanders is a formidable candidate. Good man, but he won’t be respected on the world stage nor in the Armed Forces.
Did anyone tell Cruz that a victory speech is supposed to be short, inspiring, and out the door? The guy has been speaking for over 1/2 hour now. This isn’t a State of the Union address.
I’d take the words of the candidate herself over a supposed spokesperson, I think.
Oh, please. We’re talking about the Clintons.
Why?
Well, he’s probably not going to have an occasion to give any more in the near future (unless he takes his slightly-more-than-a-quarter of a whackadoodle electorate and translates it into the big mo in South Carolina, I guess). Maybe he wanted to get several out of the way at once.
I have no idea what is supposed to mean. CNN indicates Hillary didn’t claim victory; does MSNBC have some secret Clinton spokesman on payroll?
I don’t know if Clinton (or a Clinton spokesperson) declared victory or not, but I find this post on another forum hilarious.
Sanders and Rubio win. Clinton and Trump lose. Cruz gets nowhere.
Iowa is about expectations. Sanders and Rubio exceeded theirs, Clinton and Trump fell short. Cruz met his expectations, nothing interesting about that.
Bernie will deliver the one-two punch with New Hampshire, so watch Hillary break the dial on the negative meter. Trump will pick up New Hampshire anyway, but he has to win really big now or else he’s just another candidate in the pack.
Cruz may do well in New Hampshire, they’re pretty much Canadian there already.
What a season!
No shit. In all seriousness, did the man have a stroke? He looks slack-jawed and out of place. Did you notice him looking past Hillary at the teleprompter and mouthing the upcoming words of her speech? He looks really bad.
Don’t bother. GloryDays makes statements like that and then never responds to people’s questions on his pronouncements.
663 to 660! :eek:
Practical side reality check here - according to HuffPo Clinton has 28 delegates, Sanders 21, and 3 still in play.
NH D primary has only 32 and he’ll win more than half. But then come Nevada and SC with 102 between them. His best states (excepting Vermont) will be behind him and from there it’s a ride into a heavy headwind.
However final tallies end up Sanders done what he needed to do in Iowa, exceeded expectations and minimally essentially tied the popular vote. That and his expected blow out in NH will get some to really consider him as a real possibility for the first time. Fun stuff! But the odds of him winning very much after NH remains pretty dang low.
That was one scary scene. Is he drugged up or something? He looks like he’s 90-years-old.
With Lost Lunch coming up on the inside . . .
Maybe he just sipped a little too much of the communion wine over at the Cruz rally. 
But I agree with you. This was more than just a little drunk or something, the guy looks really bad.
Bernie is going to have get all 3 of the VT African-Americans to help him campaign in the South.
Definitely true on the GOP side but less so on the Dem side. They were polling within MOE and had the last poll with Sanders up. I may have been expecting a several points Clinton win but the media narrative was that it was pretty much up for grabs with a marginal advantage to Clinton only. A clear win for him would have been exceeding expectations, this, at this point, not so much so.
Trump OTOH was a humiliation. NH will puff him back up some though. 3 or 4 seriously in contention by Super Tuesday with Trump in delegate lead going in.
…and the winner is…Beetlebaum!
