In Clinton vs. Sanders, prepare for long fight: #tellusatoday
Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders by a razor-thin margin in Monday’s Iowa caucuses. Comments from Facebook are edited for clarity and grammar:
Hillary Clinton is a great candidate and is more qualified than any candidate running for president. There is no one I would rather have in the Oval Office than Clinton and first gentleman Bill Clinton. He has been the best president in my lifetime by far.
— Steve Troxell
Feel the Bern! A revolution in politics is coming, and it’s about time. I’ve been a Democrat for most of my 58 years. It’s about time we move to a democratic socialist nation and cast off the capitalists and the cronies who support them. America for all, and not just the 1%.
— John Anthony
The email server situation continues to hurt Clinton. People, even ones in her own party, don’t like to be lied to. Her judgment is being called into question more and more.

As much as I admire much of what Sanders is saying, he is as unelectable as Donald Trump or Ted Cruz (albeit for different reasons). Sanders’ plans to replace Obamacare with single-payer and add to the debt are steps in the wrong direction.

We asked what our followers thought about Hillary Clinton barely winning the Iowa caucuses. Comments from Twitter are edited for clarity and grammar:
I think a razor-thin win is nothing to gloat about when at one point you were 50 points ahead.

It sends a very clear message to the Democratic Party and to democracy. It’s time to make that change.
— @GangstaFem
I am so happy to see Hillary Clinton win. She is pro-women’s rights and can be trusted with foreign affairs.
— @njterrie
It’s hard to call it a victory when she was recently expected to run away with the nomination.
— @LifeDeathMatter
A historic near tie is a win for the underdog running on small contributions. Bernie Sanders has momentum.
— @JonathanPtrck
Iowa caucuses are too soon to say who is a winner or not! For both parties. A bigger sample is needed.
— @jeffnc1
She did what she needed to and will fare better in more diverse states.
