Every time the party's left raises their little pointy heads and makes noises....this stuff happens.

50. Thank you

To simply say that Hillary won, period, end of discussion does not capture what happened yesterday and probably does a greater disservice to Hillary Clinton than anyone else. I hope her staff is giving her better input than are the residents of DU's Camp Weathervane.

Around Christmas, it appeared Mrs. Clinton would win Iowa easily. She didn't. While she technically won, it was in no way a convincing win. She won the way the British won at Bunker Hill or American ground forces in Vietnam won the Tet Offensive. It is perfectly fair to say that Senator Sanders scored a moral victory that is more impressive than was winning two more delegates than Bernie won among the 44 being contested. That moral victory is what we Sandernistas celebrated today, not our "defeat" as one particularly boorish fellow from Camp Weathervane put it on another thread.

A month ago Hillary was inevitable. Tonight she is not. In April, when he announced his candidacy, Bernie Sanders was a fringe candidate and not taken seriously. Last night he demonstrated that he is a force to reckoned with both now and in November, when he will crush the last GOP clown standing.

The wheels are coming off of Mrs. Clinton's campaign. I would like to give the residents of Camp Weathervane some friendly (yes, sincerely friendly) advice. This is not the time for false bravado or whistling past the graveyard. This is the time to evaluate what has gone wrong with Mrs. Clinton's campaign and how it can be fixed. It takes cool judgment and clear thinking. You can't do that and hate us Sandernistas or our candidate at the same time. The only thing we did is demonstrate that there's very convincing evidence of an anti-establishment movement in the Democratic Party, proving the Jon Cowan, the founder of The Third Way who said otherwise, is a fool. Maybe that upsets some of you, but that's not our fault. Instead of taking it out on us, take it out on Mr. Cowan, the fool who said that there was no evidence that Democrats like us feel the way we do about idiots like him, and stop taking seriously position papers from his corrupt Wall Street funded think tank. That will help your candidate a lot.
