Bennet drops out for those of you who were aware he was in.

I seriously doubt it.
I do for less and live comfortable.

Why not?

Who would work if UBI provides enough to live on?

Material possessions are over-rated.


Bernie's been maintaining a 4-5K lead over Buttigieg most of the night; if it winds up like that both can claim a victory of sorts. https://results.decisiondeskhq.com/2020/primary/new_hampshire/president

And Klobuchar getting 20% and finishing a solid third is a really good result for her as well.

The networks have called it for Bernie, too, though ABC has him and Buttigieg both getting 9 delegates with Klobuchar netting 6.

What a shock! The delegate count was still biased against Bernie but at least they did not blow him out of the water like they did in 2016.

Y'all remember NH '16? Bernie 60%, Hilary 38%, and SUPERdelegates gave the delegate total of NH to Hilary. How cool was that?!

The delegates are awarded proportionally after the candidates get to 15%; the popular vote between Bernie and Buttigieg was too small to warrant a difference in delegates in a 24 count.

There was no "bias"; if the results were reversed with Buttigieg getting 25.7% and Bernie getting 24.4% the delegate count would have been the same.
