Is Clinton being under FBI investigation starting to become as big a problem for the Democrats as Cruz's being born in Canada has become for the GOP? Sanders is not touching it but Trump sure as hell will and already Trump's attacks on Bill Clinton's issues with women has had a serious impact on Bill's popularity.

I don't read their politics that way at all. The only ones who take the email charges seriously against Clinton are rabid righties who would never support her anyway. And likewise for Cruz, there's nobody who will turn against him on the question of being Canadian because his support is only rabid right non-thinkers anyway.
What will probably make the biggest difference in whether Clinton makes it all the way is whether the R's can get their ducks in a row and make Rubia their man. Then I would say that Rubio goes all the way.
The most important attribute for a candidate in US politics is good looks. That's nearly as true for politics in many countries and the Conservatives knew that in our election. Never bet against the guy with good looks.

Sanders was about 16% behind Clinton in the December polls and now the latest Des Moines Register poll shows him only 3% behind. That is a remarkable narrowing of the gap for Sanders. Even if Sanders doesn't get the most votes tonite he will still be very much in the game.

The final for the Dems.
Clinton 701
Sanders 697
So close that there's lots of room for speculating on some cheathing going on for Clinton. Considering that, according to a lot of the political pundits, the appearance of a win is very important, even though it's really a tie. And everybody should also know that Clinton declared victory with 10% of the vote outstanding.
Other evidence to support that suspicion is that their whole system is corrupted by the establishment.

Hillary Clinton 'Wins' Iowa Caucus By 0.2% With All Precincts Reporting

"...There were also six instances where a coin was tossed to determine the Iowa winner, with Clinton winning all six. Iowa's Secretary of State Paul Pate tweeted that he had received complaints of voter fraud in the caucuses, but cautioned Iowans that the meetings are not official elections and are up to each party.
The Sanders campaign is mulling requesting a recount."

IN any case, the MSM has their own agenda which is solid establishment and they don't need Clinton to tell them anything about who to support. They ain't gonna support Sanders. With Trump, the rabid right is frothing at the mouth so much that they would support Trump if they get backed into a corner. Would they turn to a Dem to support?

I’m a bit more cynical, I suppose. As a Michigander, I’m really happy that presidential candidates are visiting and talking about Flint. But the timing is unusual — you don’t usually take off on the Sunday before the New Hampshire primary — and it seems like a way for Clinton to lower the media’s expectations for how well she’ll do on Tuesday.

The mods got him on the antiwar questions though. Because they knew that he couldn't go antiwar because Americans wouldn't accept it. So Clinton had a fine time telling how she would continue the wars and wouldn't normalize relations with Iran, and all the good talking points that make Clinton so preferable as a president. (sarcasm)
What I want to know is whether the people on this forum will give him a pass for saving his skin? Because ya see, it kinda ties in with my main issue here in Canada a bit.

Bernie Sanders has all the upsides and all the downsides of a political outsider. Hillary Clinton has all the upsides and all the downsides of a political insider.
That was the main takeaway from MSNBC's Democratic debate on Thursday, which was the best debate, on either side of the aisle, aired during this presidential cycle. With Martin O'Malley out of the race, it was down to Sanders and Clinton. Both candidates turned in their finest, most contrasting performances of any debate yet — and they offered voters a very clear choice on their different visions of how politics works.
