2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumICYMI - Yes, Polling Trajectory Shows Bernie Sanders Defeating Hillary Clinton...
... and Winning the Democratic Nomination
Another slice of fried comedy gold from this primaries worst pundit, HA Goodman.
Polls, fundraising and basic logic pertaining to recent Clinton scandals show Bernie Sanders winning the Democratic nomination. Nobody goes from less than 1 percent nationally to over 30 percent without serious momentum and unprecedented energy among grass roots supporters; the basis of any winning ground game. If you disagree, simply explain why Sanders wont be able to overtake Clinton, even though he continues to surge in the polls while Clinton relies on Congressional hearings and theoretical Biden voters to prop up her poll numbers.

The sad thing is those who contemporaneously called out his buffoonery were trashed.

If he was still blogging, I suspect he'd consider renaming it.

Then again, maybe it still could be.
But on a serious note. H. A. Goodman failed to consider an important factor. That is timing. Getting momentum too early gives it time to be killed. Of course not having enough substance doesn't help either.
