Bernie won Super Tuesday! Let me explain why.
Going into tonight it was unclear what was going to happen because the polling was so shoddy in some states, especially Colorado and Minnesota. Those two states are so important because of what they mean for the future.
It turns out that Hillary Clinton won all of the states she was supposed to win — and a narrow victory in Massachusetts (remember she won Mass. by 15 points against Obama and still lost the primary in 2008). But Bernie Sanders had resounding wins in CO & MN. Those two states are much more indicative of the states that are coming in the rest of the primary schedule.
All of these Southern states were Hillary Clinton’s best states (by the way, also irrelevant places to have strength in for the general election). She’s used up most of her ammo and doesn’t even know what kind of trouble she’s in. Right before the voting, she pivoted toward the right again in anticipation of the general election. Big mistake. She can’t help herself; she lives and breaths arrogance.
Tonight could have been the knock out punch if Clinton had won CO & MN. But she didn’t! She lost them big. Now, he has a $40 million war chest and favorable map in front of him. Feel the Bern!
Time is on Bernie’s side. The more he runs, the more people find out about him. Everyone already knows Clinton. She’s gaining no new voters. Every day he gains ground. So, now he lives to fight many other days. She is in a race against time and she didn’t close the door tonight. Tick, tock. Tick, tock!
March 8th is huge because whoever wins Michigan has momentum going into March 15th — the real Super Tuesday (FL, OH, IL, NC and MO). That’s Colossal Tuesday. And maybe the Ides of March for Hillary Clinton.
