New Hampshire Primary Thread (polls close at 6-7 CT)

I was watching CNN and saw someone standing outside a polling center wearing a rainbow flag pin.  Buttigieg landslide incoming.

BIDEN LANDSLIDE INEVITABLE

[2016]

Chris Matthews is talking about Klobuchar making it sound as though Klobuchar may come in 2nd behind Bernie (and he has seen early exits).

I'll believe it when I see it, but that would be a huge blow for Buttigieg (and a huge plus for Klobuchar, of course).

That would be a MASSIVE, MASSIVE Problem for Biden as well if Klob is being seeing more electable than him. That would utter disastrous for Uncle Jo.

Watching FOX NEWS now:

They have Martha MacCallum, Bret Baier, Brit Hume and Chris Wallace. Decent people.

I'm so relieved that they don't have hyperventilating Megyn Kelly anymore.

Wallace says if Biden finishes 5th he's done. I agree with him.

Yeah I just couldn't do CNN again.  They were constantly ruining my buzz last week.  No doubt they have the best graphics, but I just can't get past their constant state of panic.  

I absolutely can't stand Powers, Sellers, Van Jones and Granholm.

CNN has good people in Borger, Nia Henderson, Smerconish and Axelrod. They just need to put them in more often.

How come you can't stand Van Jones? He's one of the key voices of our time. He can reach Progressive minds, but he also showed a willingness to work with President Trump on criminal justice reform. He often is honest about Trump, and gives Trump credit for some achievements. We need to stand up for voices like Van Jones if we are to ever get an honest dialogue on politics back. He's under extreme pressure by the CNN bosses to tow the line, so keep that in mind.

I don’t buy the klobuchar in 2nd rumors


Would be a massive polling failure

klobuchar being a spoiler for buttigieg is the best scenario for bernie

[Volrath50]

Looking like a Pete upset. Only 11% are 18-29. Yikes for Bernie and most of the voters who vote after 6 tend to be people who work which are older.

CNN just said Klobuchar giving Sanders a run for his money. Buttigieg nowhere to be found.

Honestly, I think Klobuchar 2nd would probably be good for Bernie - splitting the Non-Bernie vote even more.

This seems a lot like the 2016 GOP dynamic,  where Sanders would probably lose 1 v 1 to several other candidates, but has a strong likelihood of winning because the "not-Bernie vote" is split between so many options.

You do realize not all LGBTQ+ people support Buttigieg, and that it's pretty offensive to make such an assumption? The little polling we have of LGBTQ+ voters shows that it is definitely not the case.

Lets add some context to this. They asked 50ish people in a Concord precinct and it was Sander-Klob-Pete in that order, with the top two close.

50ish as in approximately 50 people, or people about 50 years old?

Approximately 50 people. So its a horrible grain of salt/rumor, but people grab on to these things.

Wouldn't it be something if she came in first?  THAT would shake up the race!

She won't.

It also might halt the surge toward Bloomberg.

If so, it would be late deciders not entirely captured by polls because they decided too late (after the debate). But polls did show Klob gaining support/momentum.

Oh, I'm skeptical that she'll even make it to second place.  But it's fun to think about such unexpected, disruptive outcomes.

Carville will freak out tonight if Bernie wins.

The gays are with Bernie.

I'm starting to think voters in New Hampshire will totally abandon Biden tonight.  He knew it so it ran away.

Wouldn't be that big of a failure. Buttigieg was 2nd with 19% and Klobuchar 3rd with 14% in the Boston Globe Poll. That's only a 5% difference with 2 days to go and the arrow was up for Klobuchar and probably a little down for Buttigieg. Also remember NH is very difficult to poll because it's so small, and so many people were undecided. Literally half.

Klobuchar becoming a legitimate contender is bad news for Bernie, because the main reason stopping people from voting for her is that she was so far behind or didn't know who she was. The more she becomes known and the electable she looks, the more she could consolidate the Liberals (or moderates if you want to call them that) into overtaking Sanders.

Would be late momentum that most polls didn't catch. Some tracking polls had Klob gaining yesterday though.

I still think dems are gonna have a big problem with white men in the general.

Van Jones is a Semi-Racist. He called Trumps Win on Air as Whitelash!

Jeffrey Lord was pretty STUNNED when Van Jones said that. For that alone Van Jones should be booted from any Cable News Outlet - Period!
