Dude,
That's just campaign spin that you've sucked up and spewed out. None of what you just said about "why" is verified. Show me to be wrong with something from a reputable source.
Fact is, Trump has revved up his own supporters and detractors. That's contained in the article I linked to. Despite all of that, NH didn't have a much better turnout in the Democratic primary. Not enough considering population growth. So what if more are registered as independents? The turnout wasn't all that great. What you are doing is the usual cherry picking of facts. At most, there was a small increase in turnout and you Sanders cultists are blowing horns like the end of the world is nigh.
Given the hype, we can all have a laugh at Bernie eking out a 0.1% margin of victory while garnering a mere 26% of the vote. You should be laughing too because it's really, really funny.
I'm still sticking to my expectation that Bernie is going to have some challenging primaries in more diverse states. I don't think he's going to win the nomination outright, I think more than likely, he will lose to somebody that the more numerous moderates in the party prefer. A contested convention, something I don't want, is not a good scenario for Bernie if it does happen.
You can come back and taunt me if that makes you feel better should my predictions be false. Unlike you, I am ready to vote for Bernie or whoever wins the nomination, be it outright or in a contested convention. Your fears of "rigged" are childish. It didn't happen in 2016 and won't in 2020.

Overall, Bernie has been a negative.

Oh look, the areas with the biggest increase in turnout went for Buttigieg and Klobuchar.

"The majority of the think tank's funding comes from individuals with close ties to the banking industry and its board of trustees consists mostly of investment bankers. Political commentator and Bernie Sanders campaign official David Sirota suggested that the think tank's initiatives to combat Social Security expansion despite popular sentiment is because it would cause trustees of the think tank to pay higher taxes. Hunter of Daily Kos has suggested Third Way's ties to the banking industry is the reason for its opposition to Senator Elizabeth Warren's platform of Wall Street reform. Investigative journalist Lee Fang of The Nation alleges the think tank's ties to the Democratic Party are "tenuous" and that it exists to serve as a vehicle for corporate and right-wing interests to shape the economic policies of the party. Writing in The Intercept, Akela Lacy describes Third Way as a "center-left, corporate and GOP donor-funded nonprofit" which advocates for neoliberal policies and is staunchly opposed to Medicare For All."

He should write it down instead of putting it into a vid.
didn't watch it, BTW. Want to see his plans on how to pay for it in writing. Until then, it's just propaganda and vague promises.
100 million people have to give up their health care if he wins and all you have is a video.
Super Tuesday, baby. That's when the shit hits the fan.

Odd someone would repeat neoliberal talking points from a neoliberal think tank when they don't support neoliberalism and corporate controlled establishment politicians..

So you are suggesting that they changed the votes?
Typical Trumpist bullshit. Ignore the facts when you can't spin them and attack the source.
Lock them up, lock them up.
This is just getting sad now.

I'm showing where your talking points come from; corporate backed, neoliberal think tanks funded by Republicans

Nevada has a closed caucus, 48 delegates. South Carolina has an open primary that should be make or break for Biden. He could win many of the 63 delegates there but I personally doubt it. I expect that the field will narrow by next Thursday and we'll have a very clear view of who has the most pledged delegates heading into Super Tuesday.

Two different sets of people making the same observation of the facts does not make their motivations the same. Your little polemic game is based on some deeply flawed logic.
Typical Trumpian bullshit. We deserve better.
it's amazing how Sanders can win the first two contests and you can't find him being interviewed anywhere- just Buttigieg, Amazing Amy and Warren.

Even Bernie is disappointed with you.
Because you too make his supporters look like radicalized Trumpeters.

When you use the word "neoliberal", what do you mean by it? The common use of the term doesn't match the way you are using it.

Didn't show anything. Just posted a few twitter feeds from Sanders propaganda headquarters that is funded by right wing wealth.
