01) Whatever the final outcome, neither Clinton nor Sanders really lost in Iowa
“If Hillary Clinton was hoping to land a knockout punch against her Democratic rival Bernie Sanders in the Iowa caucuses Monday night, then she didn’t get what she was hoping for.
Yet if Sanders arrived in Des Moines hoping to “pull an Obama” — to unseat the presumptive frontrunner with an upset victory that would immediately reset the narrative of the campaign, as Barack Obama did in 2008 — then his dream didn’t come true, either.
[…]
Tonight, while the results are still not known, it looks like we are in a virtual tie,” Sanders said to raucous cheers at his caucus-night party in a Holiday Inn ballroom in Des Moines. “I think the people of Iowa have sent a very profound message to the political establishment, to the economic establishment — and, by the way, to the media establishment.”
Well…the up side, is that this is how much ground has been taken, even in the face of how badly Bernie has been snubbed, all throughout this campaign.
Hillary has all the money and powerful backing…
…Bernie has the people.
It’s unfortunate that Bernie did not get a clear victory in Iowa…But just imagine, if Bernie had had equal footing all along.
…I’m at least glad, that he did a good showing…and a distorted, easy win was not handed over to Hillary.
