Sanders could win the Iowa caucuses comfortably with 30% or so, and we know he's capable of getting that much support on paper.

Well remember the Democratic Primary has, in addition to culling Superdelegates, culled a number of caucuses turning them into straight primaries instead. Bernie's best showing was in the caucuses. Losing them will hurt him.
So he may start out strong, but then he's got some issues. And he could lose New Hampshire this time considering he's going against Warren (who has the same policy positions as Bernie, but has actually done a few things).

Booker will win SC, I'm sure.
