Nope. He's going to eat poo poo after Nevada and new Hampshire. Especially because the news of his race problems in south bend is just going to keep coming.

What are these concessions that people on TV are talking about that the DNC gave to Bernie? Seems the process is the same except for the app?

He required additional data to be counted and reported. This isn't bad but it is more and different. (first vote, realignment, final delegate total)

There's nothing more transparent than this, this is the paper-trailiest thing you're going to see. It's just slow. You could take pics there though and poo poo to make sure it was done right.

Superdelegates got stripped of a lot of their power this time around, which was a pretty clear concession to Sanders. (Honestly, if they end up letting Bloomberg on the debate stage, that'll also be a massive concession to Sanders since Bloomberg can only possibly take away from Sanders' opposition.)
Fewer superdelegates seems good. But that doesn’t seem related to tonight. Are the TV people intentionally conflating things?

Caususes are trash but are probably better for candidates like Bernie who have younger and thus more enthusiastic and able bodied supporters willing to spend all night running around a high school gym and yelling at people.

Btw. I think the guy in this thread talking about how Bernie will be treated is right to some extent. But not by the opposition candidates but by the media.


They'll Corbynize him.

The difference is I think the us public doesn't trust the media as much as the UK does or maybe I'm wrong we'll see.

The DNC made an app to count the votes, the app failed and the backup systems are choked to the point there will be practically zero results tonight. Every candidate has made a speech saying that they're moving on to New Hampshire but appreciate the people of Iowa for coming out to vote for them. All but Pete Buttigieg who has just straight up walked out and declared that he's won despite there being no actual results to back this up.
