, presidential contender Sen. Bernie Sanders said Sunday he doesn’t see any candidate, including himself, getting more that 50 percent in February's Iowa caucuses, because of the large field of nearly two dozen Democratic candidates.
“Four years ago, there were only two of us in the race, and we split the vote about 50 percent each,” Sanders said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “This time, we've got a whole lot of candidates. … We're not going to get 50 percent of the vote in Iowa. I don't think anybody will.”The new Des Moines Register/CNN/Mediacom poll, out Saturday, showed former Vice President Joe Biden in first place with 24 percent support, an 8 percent lead over Sanders.
The race for second was closer — 16 percent of respondents backed Sanders, while 15 percent backed Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and 14 percent supported South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Conducted by the Iowa firm Selzer & Co., the poll of 600 likely Democratic caucus goers June 2-5 had an overall margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Dems are done.
'The kind of things you say when are losing the battle', nice book indeed.
What a genius
I laughed at Bernie. He is brilliant!
He certainly will not.!
I know he won’t get 10%
Oh I got it. He's laying the groundwork to stay in until the very end even though he doesn't win a single contest.
No, they won't. If there isn't a clear front runner after all the primaries and caucuses, guess who gets to pick the nominee?
I can't wait til Bernie Madoff Sanders loses again and him and his followers live with the fact that he will never be president and in 10 more years, he will likely be gone for good. JustSaying
So what?
No body want a Socialist for President! NO BODY THAT IS A TRUE AMERICAN! Trump2020LandslideVictory
Didn't someone once say Bernie was the most popular politician in America - what happened - that wasn't all bullshit, now was it?
With 50 Candidates that is a good assumption....
I think you will come in 4th, Bernie.
wow hot take what a brilliant political mind
