Bernie Sanders’s bad day: New Hampshire edition

By Philip Bump October 21 at 3:16 PM

Early in his surge, back in the beginning of June, Bernie Sanders declared that he would win New Hampshire. At the time, he was far back in national polls and trailing in polls in the state, prompting me to be a little skeptical of the claim. Which was premature. Sanders quickly took the lead in polls in his neighboring state.

In the wake of the Democratic debate, though, that has changed. Since the Oct. 13 match-up, Clinton has surged in the Real Clear Politics polling average -- and in a new WBUR-TV poll, she has taken a four-point lead.

What was once a Clinton rout and then a Sanders firewall is now, for the second time, a close race.

1. Today Thom Hartmann said he would be proud to have either Bernie or Hillary as prez

and that both would make fantastic presidents.

Bernie fans and Hillary fans need to take their lead from Thom, obviously it is the Bernie fans who need to hear that message the most.

2. Thom Hartmann also thought Obama would be progressive, he tends to be naive when it comes to

corporate dems. Mike Malloy is more of a realist, so is Cenk Uygur.

3. Awesome!

4. Thom Hartmann is really smart when it comes to history, but he's really bad at predictions. n/t

6. I agree with you.

I will be proud to cast my vote for Bernie if it comes to that. I would vote for O'Malley if he was the nominee.

I think Hillary is the one, but I thought that back in 08 too, and I was bitterly disappointed.

7. Thanks, and I dont trust anyone who says they are a liberal and instantly dismisses what

Thom says.

Call me crazy, but anyone who claims to be a liberal and KNOWS who Thom is and what he believes, well they aint gonna dismiss him.

8. He is not someone that is even on my radar actually. But I will take your advice.

And I promise not to call you crazy lol.

9. He is a well known liberal talk show guy, and a HUGE supporter of Bernie, and yet HE even

says that of course Hillary is preferred over the idiots.

Thom has Bernie on his show every Friday for years now, he was supporting him long before most here heard of him.

10. Hey thanks. I actually do know who he is, but like I said

he is just not on my radar. Not any kind of judgment meant.

I get so bored with many of the talking heads...even the ones I like lol.

5. And now that Biden's out, it may change again.

We'll see in a few days.
