“Team Clinton has to be worried that after Feb. 20, there may be no tomorrow,” Nevada political pundit Jon Ralston predicted just four days ago. But tomorrow never dies in Clintonland, and her win today in the Nevada caucuses—by a margin currently estimated at four percentage points—could be the turning point her campaign has been yearning for.
Senator Bernie Sanders is suffering from a wonk gap.
In 2008, Hillary Clinton lost the race for the White House in part because her team somehow forgot the rules of the game.
More than one Academy Award-winner has been accused of demonizing Muslims, but ”Day One,” the Oscar-nominated short film set against the US war in Afghanistan, makes a Muslim-American woman its hero.
The last socialist to freak out the establishment with a radical plan, former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, said Vermont senator and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is earning votes for his common sense, not his political theory, in a recent Quora post:

Debi Durham is a familiar type in America’s state capitals, if a species under threat in Washington DC—a Republican policymaker guided by practicality, not ideology. The longtime head of an Iowa business association, Durham has spent the past five years as head of the Iowa Economic Development Authority, where she’s talking about a very different set of challenges and opportunities than the two Republican frontrunners trying to kick off their path to the White House with a win next week in Iowa.
