After much publicity, and far more hype than their delegate count warrants, the New Hampshire primary, is now in the history books, and it’s a win for Bernie. If that surprises anyone, please contact me about the bridge I have for sale. It connects Manhattan to Brooklyn.
Senator Bernie Sanders narrowly won the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday, consolidating support on the left and fending off a late charge by two moderate rivals to claim his second strong showing in two weeks and establish himself as a formidable contender for the Democratic nomination.
Mr. Sanders had about 26 percent of the vote with 90 percent of the ballots counted, while former Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., was a close second. Mr. Buttigieg split the centrist vote with Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, who surged in New Hampshire to finish in third.
Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Mr. Sanders’s progressive rival, finished a distant fourth in her neighboring state, and in a stinging blow to his candidacy, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. finished fifth.
The results raised immediate questions about how much longer Mr. Biden and Ms. Warren, onetime front-runners, could afford to continue their campaigns. Both had already cut back their advertising because of financial strain… [emphasis added]

Bernie Sanders declares victory in New Hampshire
Here are the results, updated this morning.
And here is the delegate count to date. I must say, that I’m disappointed Liz didn’t do better than she did. At least she beat Biden.

Kudos to Bernie, I’m not quite ready to give up on Liz yet, but since she didn’t win, I’m glad he did. If Liz drops out, I’ll be an instant Bernie supporter.
The Republican Reich also had a NH primary. Republican voters defecated on America,
RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Kind of a bummer, but like you said, I’ll go w/Ms. Warren. (still)
And yes, I’ll go for Bernie if he wins the nomination.
Go, Ms. Warren!
Quite a surprise that Liz did so poorly. It will be very interesting to see what comes along, now. If Biden can not gain traction, where will the DNC go?
This, literally, just in: Barbara Streisand, another Brooklynite, has just publicly called Dumpiness out for his lies. I had been wishing someone would call him out, during the SOTU performance, still:

Giving credit where credit is due, I received this from Pam,whom I dearly thank.
Mitch,
LOVE Babs from way, way back.
She is awesome, a legend, and her song rocks!
Thanks for sharing this great song!!
Thanks Mitch! Great tune!
Definitely a bummer. I feel exactly as you do.
I did not watch the primary. I watched the old “Finding Your Roots” episode that Bernie was on. If anyone wants to watch it, it is streaming here, and membership in PBS is not required to watch it. Some stuff about Bernie that maybe you didn’t know, or had forgotten, or both.
Agree with others that it was a bummer to see the news this morning that Bernie won.
I’m still hoping that Ms. Warren will be in the game.
We shall see what the coming weeks bring.
I’m completely powerless, watching the process from afar with my toes curled in my shoes. I’m sad that Liz may not get to the finish, but that is compensated by the increasing possibility that Biden won’t get there either. All my hope is on Bernie now. The prognosis to win in 2016 was better for Bernie than Hillary because his political niche is populistic, like that of Trump, though the difference between left-wing populism and right-wing populism was, and now even more so is the difference between day and night.
But should Bernie not get enough delegates, I hope his followers will not make the mistake they made in 2016 again and will VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO.
Thanks and rushed hugs to all!
Since Liz is doing poorly, I think we’re lucky to have Bernie.
