I remember that night. I was so disappointed that he lost, then he gave that magnificent speech, and I saw the absolute quality and class of the man, and knew he was going to be the next president. From what I remember, rarely do Iowa and New Hampshire anoint the same person. Now on to “real” America…….the diverse country.
Tonight in her concession speech, Hillary was echoing PBO’s talking points. I would say she’s Fired Up.
I think I’ll make a contribution to her campaign tomorrow.
Speaking of delegates. There’s been nothing mentioned about Super Delegates. Remember that’s what got Hillary in trouble last time. She will NOT let that happen this time. Aren’t those folks staunch Dems who would never or unlikely support BS?
I can never quite figure out how Bernie can get away with saying he is not part of the establishment when he has been in politics at least thirty years especially being in Congress in WA DC.
Didn’t the dems change the rule after 2008 that sd’s are supposed to be neutral?
I don’t know. The whole process - primaries and GE, delegates, ev’s - they all sound redenculous to me. What a waste of every one’s time, money and efforts. Me likey limey system. 3 to 6 months in a free for all. Whoever wins the max votes, wins.
They retained the SD system with minor modifications. They can commit and Hillary already has 440 according to latest report. They kept the system so that they can fend off a hostile takeover by some extremist, in this case Bernie Sanders. However in the end she won’t need the SDs to win. As for myself, I agree the whole primary system sucks big time. It’s absurd that these all white “homelands” like IA and NH should front load the system. Too often by the time the primary gets to my state, Oregon, it’s all over.
Audible booing at Sanders HQ when Hillary mentions visit to Flint

I know NOTHING about NH or politics (except that they more [?] Statehouse reps/senators than CA, which is crazy), but I get the feeling that what they say is true — the South extends north through the Appalachia mountains (which are called the White Mtns in NH).
From the tweets I’ve seen tonight, the so-called “progressive” Independents cast their vote AGAINST the Black man in the WH.
Don’t follow Murray, but his twitter profile says he’s the senior political editor for NBC news — so no doubt a Chuck Todd protégé.
It’s clear that almost 100% of MSM are clueless that their POV is one of white supremacy, and would block someone on twitter for even suggesting such a (true) outrage.
@NoShock @metaquest #Crickets from MSM who either don't want to admit/unable to see their own #Whiteprivilege bias.https://t.co/GyTbDHd786
Mark Murray is spewing nonsense! President Obama was not on the ballot! President Obama won New Hampshire twice: in 2008 and 2012. The New Hampshire vote tonight was a rejection of Hillary Clinton, not President Obama. Period! End of story!
Republicans can also vote in NH primary. When Hillary wins what will Mark Murray have to say then. Because she will defeat Bernie. NH and Iowa does not represent America, those two states are mostly white. So Bernie won NH, big deal. Now if he takes South Carolina or Nevada, that would be a big deal.
Sorry - I heard Mayor Nutter, and he really meant what he said, but I’m too tired to relate his talking points! I do remember that Van Jones came back at him. Happened on CNN earlier.
With that, guess I’d better head off to dreamland! Goodnight, TODville.
LMAO. Tell us how you really feel, amk (I feel the same!). He needs to go home to NJ to think about it. Well, as far as his campaign goes, as they’d say in New Jersey: fuhgettaboutit !!!
Poor NJ, having to take his ass back home. He’s turned The Garden State into The Fertilizer State, if ya get my drift.
But notice they didn’t vote for HRC - who is one of the oldest…These young white Republicans and far left voters of NH respect and WANT the hierarchy of an older white male at the top. It’s no surprise that Carson performed the worst in NH.
It took 8 years of Bush disaster and a primary between a black man & a white woman to bring some sanity to the US. Now it seems too many are reverting to type. Vote for the old white men. I can understand people voting for Bernie - I cannot understand ANYONE voting for someone who approves torture and whose only policy appears to be building fences. That all the GOPers LIE 99.9% of the time seems to get past the pundit media without a word being spoken against them
This is a democracy voting to end democracy presumably because they don’t want those people to be part of their democracy, let alone running the show.
All this hoopla by the media and millions of dollars spent in this state and look at the delegate count as of this minute with 81% reporting.I’m sure this will change once all the votes have been counted but It actually has Hillary getting more delegates than Sanders right now. smh/
Totally. Did u see a report Bernie was playing basketball before results trying to invoke PBO? Also when he won he made the black power sign. Both of these actions totally pissed me off as if appropriating PBO’s rituals and AA symbols is all it takes to get our vote.
Just wanted to mention just how much BS’s “A future to believe in” signs piss me off. BS’s talks s#!+ about PBO, yet has from day one ripped off elements of his campaign…
Bill Kristol still going great with his predictions. I think he trolls himself
Bill Kristol �?@BillKristol 6h
The single most likely GOP ticket at this point: Trump-Kasich. The single most likely Dem ticket at this point: Sanders-Warren.
DesertFlower, I don’t believe Ezra Klein finds Il Douche amusing. Some pundits do, and that’s what he was saying. In fact, Klein is speaking of The Donald as someone very dangerous that the media have given a free pass or taken lightly. His article rings with my perception of this demagogue, an epithet Klein uses as well.
Hey NW abd TOD.
:)
<3

Amen, Carolyn. Hope you’re doing well.
Perfect for tonight, thank you Nerdy!
:)

I think I’ll make a contribution to her campaign tomorrow.
I’m not quite there, yet, but I did notice a change in tone. Hope it continues.
Hey J’OB, you notice I didn’t make the contribution tonight. I have to sleep on it. 😊
That pretty much says it all, in a nutshell, at least, about the candidates. I get ya! :)
If we don’t want bernie, we’re gonna have to go FULL TILT for HRC sooner rather than later.
Yes we will. The Obama legacy and the future of our country depends on it.
Tossing in some beauty, this evening.
kasichmentum!!! yay, I win!!
Hillz is losing by 20 points and yet they both split delegates 13/13???
Speaking of delegates. There’s been nothing mentioned about Super Delegates. Remember that’s what got Hillary in trouble last time. She will NOT let that happen this time. Aren’t those folks staunch Dems who would never or unlikely support BS?
Since BS is running against the “establishment”, he probably won’t get many of those delegates.
I can never quite figure out how Bernie can get away with saying he is not part of the establishment when he has been in politics at least thirty years especially being in Congress in WA DC.
She’s got about 350 committed super delegates.
She will get them all. Nobody in the party wants the disaster that Bernie would bring to other candidates.
Amen
Exactly! I am sorry, but Bernie Sanders has not been a Democrat in his more than 30 years years in elective office.
Didn’t the dems change the rule after 2008 that sd’s are supposed to be neutral?
I don’t know. The whole process - primaries and GE, delegates, ev’s - they all sound redenculous to me. What a waste of every one’s time, money and efforts. Me likey limey system. 3 to 6 months in a free for all. Whoever wins the max votes, wins.

TN, I believe that Hillary has over 400 Super Delegates so far. Bernie has two.
GE TODville.
Thank you NerdyW for posting this — will savor in full.
We Obama supporters were really in for a roller-coaster ride during 2008, and the NH loss was just the beginning.
Some clarity on NH Dems.
I know NOTHING about NH or politics (except that they more [?] Statehouse reps/senators than CA, which is crazy), but I get the feeling that what they say is true — the South extends north through the Appalachia mountains (which are called the White Mtns in NH).

More…
More…
What the hell is Mark Murray talking about? And who are the hell is Mark Murray? Sound like Republicans bull shit.
GE annieb.

Black Lives Matter Activist MarShawn McCarrel shoot himself on Ohio Statehouse.
That is really really sad.
It sure is Bill R., sure is.
OMGosh, I hate hearing news like this.

Heartbreaking.
“My demons won today. I’m sorry.”

NH and Iowa does not represent America, those two states are mostly white. So Bernie won NH, big deal. Now if he takes South Carolina or Nevada, that would be a big deal.
You’re absolutely right, annieb.
The year-long attention that two states that are so unrepresentative of the US gets stems from the white supremacy mindset of US media.
And to see the proud NH “Independents” acting like they’re Southerners waving confederate flags is disheartening to say the least.
Can’t wait for Feb 20 (NV Dem caucus, always a hoot) and Feb 27 (SC Dem primary).
Indies. GOPers who don’t want to identify themselves as GOPers. But still think like GOPers. Cowards.
many of the indies are gopers who chose bernie over trump
Not watching the NH post-election speeches, but this is excellent from HRC.
Yes, that was the closing on her speech and is the emerging theme of her campaign.
Good tweet HF!
Boom!!!
Good morning TOD :)
Thank you aspirational12. Thank you.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone have anything more specific on what Mayor Nutter said?
I’m glad some Democrats are calling BS out on this.
Sorry - I heard Mayor Nutter, and he really meant what he said, but I’m too tired to relate his talking points! I do remember that Van Jones came back at him. Happened on CNN earlier.
With that, guess I’d better head off to dreamland! Goodnight, TODville.
looks like nj asshole and his assholish wifey unit are going back home. good riddance.

LMAO. Tell us how you really feel, amk (I feel the same!). He needs to go home to NJ to think about it. Well, as far as his campaign goes, as they’d say in New Jersey: fuhgettaboutit !!!
Poor NJ, having to take his ass back home. He’s turned The Garden State into The Fertilizer State, if ya get my drift.
you oldies are mean.
Ha! Moi?
Ya. Yoi. Leave the horrible feller and his horribler wifey unit ALONE.
No problem there. Ugh.
And I’m outta here - Goodnight, y’all!
GN J’OB. I am outta here too.
“…as they’d say in New Jersey:fuhgettaboutit!!!”
“Poor NJ, having to take his ass back home. He’s turned The Garden State into The Ferttilizer State, if you get my drift”
Hey J’OB, have I told you latterly how much I love your delicious sense of humor?
Ha. Why, yes. Yes, you have, nath! But keep tellin’ me. :)
gopolitico
For Chris Christie, New Hampshire was a bridge to nowhere
LOL. good one.
ironic the yung’uns voted strongly for the oldest candies.
But notice they didn’t vote for HRC - who is one of the oldest…These young white Republicans and far left voters of NH respect and WANT the hierarchy of an older white male at the top. It’s no surprise that Carson performed the worst in NH.
mindless zombies indeed.

http://www.politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president/new-hampshire
Interesting. Delegate totals now show Hillary 392 and Sanders at 42. We’re going West and South. It’s delegates and demographics and Hillary Country.
Totally. Did u see a report Bernie was playing basketball before results trying to invoke PBO? Also when he won he made the black power sign. Both of these actions totally pissed me off as if appropriating PBO’s rituals and AA symbols is all it takes to get our vote.
A fraud, total fraud.
Used your words below Bill - without seeing your post. So agree.
Guess that’s his play for the A-A vote… Not going to buy it…
I saw that and thought “You are no Barack Obama” - what a total fraud.
Just wanted to mention just how much BS’s “A future to believe in” signs piss me off. BS’s talks s#!+ about PBO, yet has from day one ripped off elements of his campaign…
Yes yes yes yes. That was another one that pissed me off
Bill Kristol still going great with his predictions. I think he trolls himself

Good Morning TODVille.
Scary things: the are common traits between people that voted for Il Douche and Sanders.
Oops. “there are common”
Have to agree with this one…
That there is not collective outrage in the media following a win by this bigot says a lot about this group of media folks.
It’s not good when your hopes lie in the past. Sanders will never be an Obama.
Let me say it better: It’s not good when only memories bring you joy. Sanders and his campaign will never rise to Obama’s level.
PBO thankfully is more than just a memory - he’s a REALITY, and will be a significant part of this country’s future well-being!! :)
No wonder all the current candidates (GP or Dem) are always trying to compare themselves to him on various levels…
Good morning everyone:) If Ezra Klein thinks that DT is funny, and entertaining, he’s part of the problem
