Can someone explain how this is a victory for Sanders? Not to be a hack, but I seriously don't get it. Yes, he did far better than anyone thought he would do early in the year and overcame an initial massive deficit. But that's all old news and has already been factored into the equation for ages. Him possibly winning Iowa was seen as a distinct possibility for months now. It's one of his top 5 most demographically friendly states...and he could only manage a tie.
All the media spin just uses "he's a REAL threat to Clinton now!" as justification, but again, we've already known for ages he had a decent shot to win Iowa.
It's pretty much just proof that Bernie can have a decent showing and that Clinton may not be invincible. You're right, and Sanders should have performed stronger than he did. The fact that he did better with the 'under 30s' than Obama did in '08 is pretty big imo.
