Dems Tie, But Bernie Sanders Is The Real Winner

It was a nail-biter. The Democratic caucus in Iowa came down to the wire between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. With such a close result, who benefits more? Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Meanwhile, in the Democratic caucuses, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders finished in what was essentially a tie.

So what does it all mean?

1. Sanders is a serious threat to Clinton

When the night ended, less than 1% of the vote separated Clinton from Sanders.

By any measure, the exceedingly close outcome is a big victory for the Vermont senator. Last summer Sanders appeared to have no chance in Iowa. Clinton possessed a huge polling lead, a massive campaign war chest, and a monopoly on key endorsements. In contrast, Sanders looked like a fringe candidate.

That is certainly not true today. Sanders has proved to be an exceptionally effective campaigner, particularly with liberal voters. By unapologetically promoting universal healthcare, tax hikes for the wealthy, and strict regulation of Wall Street, Sanders is running as the most forthrightly liberal presidential candidate since Walter Mondale in 1984.

The Sanders strategy worked like a charm in Iowa. He tapped into a populist mood that is spreading like wildfire within the Democratic Party.”*
