I've been waiting to see what the talking points from the troll/shill/wrecker "left" will be once it looks like Bernie's going to win the nomination. They've got quite a needle to thread, since all of their propaganda points have to be in the format "I like Bernie but I won't vote for him for reason X". So far I've seen:
- I like Bernie but he ended up endorsing Hillary in 2016, so I won't vote for him.- I like Bernie but I hate the Democratic party more, so since he's running as a Democrat I won't vote for him.

does bernie sanders play video games? does he know what video games are? probably there is some dank meme that will tell me
don't think pete's a spook but out of the candidates he strikes me as most likely to just do whatever the CIA tells him to do so what's the difference really

if someone tried to sell the government a computer that supposedly crunched all available data and spit out the optimal executive decisions, Buttigieg and Yang would probably both buy it
tbf Robert McNamara kind of did that, but then proceeded to ignore what the computer said

I give the yglesias and co credit for coming around on Bernie -- my theory is that they recognize that he's the likely nominee and they think the right thing to do is get behind him as much as possible now rather than try to hobble him heading into the general.

If Dems go on to nominate Sanders, the Russians will have to reconsider who to work for to best screw up the US. Sanders is just as polarizing as Trump AND he’ll ruin our economy and doesn’t care about our military.

Bernie didn't do as well as he should have. He underperformed, just like in Iowa. RCP had him +7 day of for both and it ended up really tight. Reverse situation from last time.

Winning was a huge blow to Sanders tonight. Buttigieg lost, which is clearly a win for him, especially losing to Sanders, to whom he's lost twice now, making Sanders' win even more disappointing. Team Sanders needs a big loss to win next time— Brendan James (@deep_beige) February 12, 2020

Sanders' drop in support since '16 has been observable in every piece of data published about this primary for over two years, including NH polls.

CNN says turn out is up 20 percent from 2016. Vindication for the Sanders approach. When broken down by age, it's likely that youth turnout will prove to be much higher than that.— Alex Sammon (@alex_sammon) February 12, 2020

I saw elsewhere he got 60% of the vote last time (to HRC's 37%), so I would have thought him "bringing out the vote" would leave him much higher in the results.

Martin O'Malley pulled out after Iowa last time, getting 0.26% of the vote on the day, ahead of fourth-place winner Vermin Love Supreme.
