February 12, 2020--A Squeaker
For those concerned about Bernie Sanders' ability to defeat Trump in November, for those who are concerned that Bernie seems unstoppable on the road to the nomination, the results yesterday in New Hampshire should be a bit of a relief.
Bernie, in a state next door to his Vermont, managed to squeak by Peter Buttigieg by a scant 1.3 percentage points. A
state Sanders carried four years ago by 20 points.
And, if you combine Amy Klobuchar's votes with Mayor Pete's (44 percent) and contrast them to the total the socialists Bernie and Elizabeth Warren garnered (35 percent), Bernie looks even more vulnerable.
So moderation was the story of the night. Not Bernie's victory.
What is yet to unfold will be very interesting.
