Did Clinton get her behind kicked in Nevada- she was recently up 30 points?
Won by approx 4-6 pts.

It would take an incredible amount of spin to turn it into anything but a win in Nevada. The narrative is Sanders surge came up short so far. Considering the next two dates, Sanders really needed a win. This makes SC and SEC Teusday harder for him.

Most news outlets were running the story that Nevada was an "unknown" due to the lack of polling but that the race was neck-to-neck.
However 4-6 points is not a thin margin, and now we're headed straight into SC and SEC Super Tuesday.
Sanders is going to come into March hurting quite a lot.
 
I wouldn't say she got her behind kicked, but it definitely shows how vulnerable she is in some states. Either way she's going to get the party's nomination.

LOL.....nice try. Your desperation isn't very attractive.

No desperation at all. She was and did have a substantial lead in Nevada.
Just the facts Ma'am, just the facts.

No one is disputing that. No one is buying your spin that winning means she got her ass kicked though. That part was pure spin on your part, not fact.

From a 30 pt lead to what 5 in the end state results.
Not spin, she lost to Bernie. His ground game was late and not near the Clinton's on numbers and capability.
Down 20 to 25 pts. scratched out a small majority of 5635 votes. That is not a massive win, which polls had her at.

He actually had more people than her in Nevada, spent more on TV, and failed to catch up. Your version is spin, pure and simple.

Sorry....no one is buying your spin.....just you. Are you the 1 vote?

No one us disputing that. Sanders gained a lot of ground. He did not gain enough, and lost a state he really needed to win. It gets harder for him from here. SC and the Super Tuesday states are probably not going to go well for him.

True enough. Reading an article, and as a member posted, HRC cleaned up with the African American vote. As a number of the next States have high populations of African American voters, Bernie is going to lose.
Thing is, did he cause HRC to address issues she would not have addressed if not for Bernie?

LOL.......yep.....you are the only 1 vote. That should tell you something about your desperation spin. Tootles.

So what?
Seems you are terribly upset with HRC winning by approx 5 % when she was up 20-30 pts.
Imagine how relived HRC is now.

Fine, as I did not make a fool of myself.
Time for you to mature.

It goes a little beyond that. If Sanders had won today, he would have been able to claim major momentum, and that momentum would be the story. He would gain lots of ground and possibly overperform on Super Tuesday. Now it is not so likely. 538(which by the way called the Nevada caucus almost exactly right, giving the highest probability to Clinton getting 52.4 % if the vote) has exactly 2 Super Tuesday states where Clinton has less than a 90 % chance to win. And one of those is Massachusetts(where god would probably lose to Sanders for not being liberal progressive enough). Then on to Michigan. Sanders needed really positive reporting, because it is going to get negative in a hurry, and stay that way awhile.

Absolutely. If Clinton wins the primary, she will be pinned further left than she wanted to be.
