Wow. Whoever set up the "Bernie bros" narrative is freakin' brilliant. Took the campaign from issues of encryption and government secrecy and big banking to gender politics in a way that completely overshadowed those concerns.

Damn, that's some impressive political operation.

* New York Times 2016 Democrat Iowa Entrance Polls. * New York Times 2016 Republican Iowa Entrance Polls.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
