A new poll from The Economist and YouGov released yesterday brings more bad news for Biden, as Democratic rival RFK, Jr. surges in favorability with voters while Biden slumps. No wonder Biden refuses to debate RFK, Jr. and is desperately trying to move the first primary to a more favorable state. Also today: Did Massie fumble on the Schiff censure vote?

Ross Douthat surveys the “Republican mess” after New Hampshire, and says this:
Anti-Trump Republicans were confident in the weeks leading up to last night’s primary that New Hampshire would consolidate the “establishment” vote behind one of the candidates, and that would create a three-way race in later states that would eventually lead to the defeat of both Trump and Cruz. Invariably, the candidate cast for this role was Rubio, and the governors running against him were dismissed as hopeless and soon to drop out.
Trump and Sanders both won as expected, and they won by large enough margins that the networks called it for both of them very early in the evening. Sanders is on track to win by a larger margin than expected. With 53% of the vote counted, Sanders leads by 20 points. The final result may be a little closer than that, but there’s no question that Clinton was badly defeated and embarrassed by a candidate that no one considered a serious threat to her when he started.
Rand Paul’s campaign strategy worked brilliantly—for Ted Cruz. For Rand, it’s led to him dropping out before the first primary. Staunch libertarian supporters of his father’s two campaigns believe Rand should have run more like Ron. But it’s worth examining why he didn’t and why neither Paul has come close to the nomination.
