Tom Harkin won Iowa (with 76% of the vote!) in 1992 and was the first candidate to drop out.
"Uncommitted" won in 72 and 76 and neither of them lasted terribly long either.

The demos that voted for him in 2016 are running towards Biden in droves. Those that sat out too.
Anti-Hillary vote, and the depth of it, is becoming clearer and clearer. Bernie was the beneficiary of that.
An outlier. We have the best shot of the big 3 in Michigan. PA is a slight concern, but Biden is a good candidate there. Wisconsin is a major concern. Mostly bad polling from there.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to argue Clinton was a popular candidate.
She went from pushing single-payer in the early 90s to an evil defender of corporations and the rich in a little over two decades.
This isn't even about Bernie. The Dems could have nominated Buttigieg, Warren, Klobuchar, or just about anyone other than Biden and I'd be feeling much better right now. Biden was the worst choice that could have been made. Were he not vice president he would never have stood a chance because he's fundamentally a bad candidate. This man was telling a voter that he's full of shit just earlier today for godsake.
Is there any scenario in which Sanders concedes in a timely fashion, or is it a foregone conclusion he will limp to the convention no matter how bad the numbers get? I don't think I have the stomach for 4 more months of this.
So almost 30 years ago. Did they receive a call from Obama just before they dropped out advice well? :P

Imagine if all these people voted for the guy who would actually advocate for it...
yep. This is a big lesson. It wasn't anti-establishment. It was anti-Hillary Clinton.
yup Bernie is losing everywhere in the state. I'll guess he loses by 15-17% when all is said and done.
Imagine people wanting to win the general election more than wanting purity in policy.
I am for M4A 100%. I didn't vote Bernie in MI today.
This is very welcome news. Just like when Sanders supported the public option during the ACA debates he has pushed it into the face of the American people and they are coming around.
Plus people are getting scared from this virus and seeing how little leadership Trump has in him, suburban white people are going to jump ship
Bernie is still popular and his policies are still popular among the Democratic party last I saw. The other part of this is that Democrats are way more motivated to keep Trump out of the White House now that they've seen what he's done in it. Their top priority is to get Trump out and Biden is seen as the candidate most likely to be able to do that.
A voter in the same state he's currently winning.
It doesn't fucking matter.

Thanks for being a smug asshole over people dying due to bad healthcare. Really making a great case for Biden.

Have fun with Dementia Joe...
The real question is how bad is he going to lose tonight. Like will he be above 15% in Mississippi? It's not looking so great right now
The biggest winner of the nigh?
Pollers? THey got endless shit for 2016
This I can agree with but man it's such a bummer to know that Biden wants to continue something like the ACA.
the average american knows fuck all about the policy positions they're actually voting for
Thank god the "MI polling is never right!" stuff is finally over.
Biden is progress but a slower pace. Its still moving us closer to Universal Healthcare.
A lot more of them would have had the candidate pushing them had more appeal.
People need to look at the bright side. With Biden we might actually get a public option and advancement towards Medicare for all. We could have ended up with nothing to show
Yeah I don't blame them. It's just sad that the media in our country won't allow for meaningful change to happen through elections.
I don't understand why more people weren't seeing the issue when looking at the 2020 demos relative to 2016. That anti-H voters were missing from the 2020 coalition was pretty blatant once you looked at the crosstabs. I caught it, and then G. Elliot Morris was the only big name I can recall talking about it.
Hoping these white suburban voters are worth the nomination for Biden; I always vote progressive in the primary and democrat in the general election.
Seeing these primary results showed how much years of Benghazi and the Comey investigation fabricated Hillary as the anti-Christ.

Biden is our candidate now. He won the nomination. In a landslide. It's time to focus on beating Trump.
If it was anyone else GOP in the White House, they're coasting to re-election.
Washington might go Biden, so it's not at the worst possible point yet.
You asked, I answered. Almost 30 years ago doesn't seem that long ago to us old heads. I remember that election well.
Also, when you only do a thing every 4 to 8 years, you are going to have to go back a bit for historical data.
I said it a year ago Biden will fuck around and Straight White Man Crip walk into the office. The same shit that lets shit slide off Trump works for Biden, but Trump has a record now and he can be attacked on that
I mean, nobody fucking lives here - how long can it take to get some data?
The race? Absolutely.
The debate? Will never happen. Trump's gonna hold one of his
