But Jones is urging caution, pointing out that Bill Clinton also lost both New Hampshire and Iowa while running for president in 1992, but went on to win the White House.

Back is 1992, Clinton was not the early favorite. He was lucky in that all the other candidates who were more popular than him imploded. Clinton was basically the "last man standing."

And stupid GHWB gave the election to him... (with the help of Perot)

RINOs have been handing Presidential elections to Democrats since 1912.

1992 was lost when Bush the Elder caved on "Read my lips. No new taxes."

The Republican grass roots were furious, and many turned to Perot as a protest vote.

It wouldn't have really mattered who survived the Democratic primaries to become the nominee. He would have won. It just happened to be Clinton.
