The Pundits Wrote Off Bernie’s Candidacy. In Iowa and New Hampshire, He Proved Them Wrong.

Goodbye Joe Biden. Bernie Sanders is now the undisputed frontrunner in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. Last week, in the Iowa caucuses, Sanders won the popular vote by a clear margin in both the first and second rounds. On Monday, he took the lead in a national Quinnipiac University poll for the first time in the 2020 Democratic race. And yesterday, in New Hampshire, Sanders won with a narrow victory over former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Biden came in fifth. What a difference a year makes. When he launched his second presidential campaign, in February 2019, the independent senator from Vermont was mocked and written off by much of the pundit class. The Washington Post’s Henry Olsen called him a “one-hit wonder,” adding: “After a few concerts that attract ever more “selective” audiences, he will likely drop out and retire, his influence consigned to history.” (On Monday night, a whopping 7,500 people turned out for a Sanders rally headlined by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, as well as rock band The Strokes, in Durham, New Hampshire.) On Twitter, Olsen’s fellow Post columnist Jennifer Rubin described Sanders as “yesterday’s news” and suggested he would face “stiff competition for youth vote” from Beto O’Rourke. (O’Rourke quit the race in November while Sanders won almost half of 17-29 year olds in Iowa and more young voters in New Hampshire than “all of the other candidates combined.” ) Yet another Post columnist, David Von Drehle , wrote how Sanders would find “that his moment is gone, his agenda absorbed by more plausible candidates, his future behind him.” Then there was MSNBC host Chris Matthews , who claimed Sen. Elizabeth Warren would “blow out Bernie pretty early on. Bernie will lose his votes to her.” (Warren, for the record, came third in Iowa and fourth in New Hampshire.) MSNBC political contributor Jason Johnson went even further: “I see Bernie Sanders launching his campaign and by August, realizing he won’t be in the top five in Iowa, and dropping out.” Do they never learn? For the second presidential cycle in a row, the political pundits have had to eat crow. During the 2016 race, former Obama strategist David Axelrod dismissed Sanders as the candidate with whom Democratic voters would only “flirt” or have a “fling” with. The Vermont senator went on to win 13 million votes and 23 states. Four years later, Sanders has come from behind to dominate the first two contests of the 2020 Democratic race. In Iowa, he declared victory while calling for a partial recanvass of the chaotic and messy results. Remember: Over the past four decades, no candidate has won in both Iowa and New Hampshire and then failed to win the nomination.

Bernie Sanders hits Pete Buttigieg over wealthy donors ahead of New Hampshire debate

New poll: Sanders leads in New Hampshire, Buttigieg second Manchester, New Hampshire Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on Friday attacked former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg for accepting money from wealthy donors, zeroing in on a direct contrast between the two candidates and previewing a sharper line of attack hours before they face off on the debate stage in New Hampshire . Speaking at Politics and Eggs in Manchester, Sanders read out a variety of headlines that depicted Buttigieg as cozying up to moneyed interests. With Sanders and Buttigieg emerging as the top tier candidates out of Iowa , the Vermont senator took the opportunity Friday morning while speaking in a room adorned with corporate banners to squarely contrast himself with Buttigieg, and shape the narrative about the relationship each candidate has with corporate interests. "This campaign is about which side are you on," Sanders told the crowd, referencing the Woody Guthrie song. "Are you on the side of the working class of this country, which has been battered for the last 45 years, are you willing to take on the greed and corruption of the billionaire class and the one percent, or will you continue to stand with the big money?" The headlines Sanders read aloud included a Forbes article detailing how Buttigieg has the most exclusive billionaire donors of any Democrat, an article from the Washington Post about how after a strong performance in Iowa, Buttigieg is "" even closer to Wall Street donors, and a Forbes article revealing the list of billionaires that support Buttigieg's campaign. "I like Pete Buttigieg, nice guy," Sanders said after ticking through the list of headlines. "But we are in a moment where billionaires control not only our economy but our political life." After the event, the Sanders campaign debuted a new hashtag on Twitter, #PetesBillionaires, which included screenshots of the headlines Sanders had read during his speech. Although Sanders has accused Buttigieg of being bought and paid for by big money before, namely after Buttigieg held a fundraiser in a wine cave in December, Sanders' unprompted attack today takes on new meaning as the 2020 primary heats up and these two candidates have emerged in a tier of their own. When asked to respond to Sanders' attacks ,the Buttigieg campaign pointed to the former mayor's comments made on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday about campaign finance reform. "I understand the frustration and I'm not a fan of the campaign finance system we have today. I'm also a fan of beating Donald Trump," Buttigieg said on The Late Show. "I will make exactly one promise to anybody, whether they're giving three bucks online or the maximum allowable by law, and the promise is I'm going to take that contribution and I'm going to use it to build the campaign that's going to defeat Donald Trump so that we can actually get the reforms that this country needs."
