Amy has a commanding lead with 30% of the vote compared to just 15% for Bernie and Warren so far in NH. Of course, there are only 27 votes in. Yet someone still voted for Tusli.

So why didn't they support Harris or Booker in greater numbers? Because Harris was a prosecutor who sounded like their scolding auntie and Booker is a Wall Street shill?

How would they support, other than giving money? No primaries to vote for them in. All we had to indicate support for them was polling, and maybe(probably) these people weren't asked.

Huh?

I didn't get this at all. Harris definitely lost points of well aware voters because of her time as a prosecutor, but the whole thing about her sounding "scolding" is like saying Warren is "too shrill." It's sexist BS. The only people who aren't right-wing nincompoops who think this way are the kind of geezers who said Obama "speaks so well."

Hillary actually is shrill -- she's a gargoyle. But much of the time hearing assertive women as shrill is acculturated, not real.

How does any candidate measure support early on? Mainly from polling or fund raising. A nearly year old poll done by Quinnipiac show Harris leading Buttigieg and Booker tied with him. After they campaigned more, maybe more people felt like they could align with Buttigieg and fewer with Booker or Harris.

I still say Buttigieg is suffering in polls among black voters because he's married to a dude. Every mayor in the country has had to deal with white cops shooting unarmed black men and Buttigieg handled it no worse than most others and better than some. His positions on the race issues poisoning America today are more or less as clueless or as enlightened as any other white politician, depending on your point of view. A legitimate knock on hm MAY be his inexperience, and the buffoon in the White House today pretty much shows us experience may matter more than some believe.

I don't think she was, and I agree it's a sexist projection. I'm trying to come up with reasons why she didn't rebound from her sinking poll numbers after debates 2-4.
