The Vermont senator easily bests his rivals in Nevada to cement his frontrunner status. A close battle is shaping up for second place.
LAS VEGAS — Bernie Sanders didn’t just win the Nevada caucuses.
He was crushing the rest of the primary field, closing in on another early-state victory and proving an ability to broaden what was once believed to be a narrow coalition.
The victory will likely reverberate far beyond Nevada, with the contest soon turning to Super Tuesday. Sanders is well positioned to compete on that broader electoral map, with an army of small-dollar donors to fund his campaign.

In 2016 we had the bizarre situation where each party nominated the one candidate with a good chance of losing to the other. And it looks like the gods are saying, "Let's do it again in 2020!"

Sanders has much more appeal with nonwhite voters than prev thought. We were right this GOP 2016 all over – failure to challenge leader until it is too late. Mod candidates w little nonwhite support must leave for Biden to have a shot 4. Bloomberg must go neg vs. Bernie

During the 2016 election campaign, when Dems prayed for Trump to win the nom, @EsotericCD said something to the effect of: ANY major party nominee is one unpredictable event away from being president. Do not tempt fate.
I see too many conservatives doing the same with Bernie.

We’re a few stages shy of the “I for one welcome our new socialist overlords” phase on MSNBC. But you can see it coming.

Yeah, that's one of the earlier stages. I've seen this before. The condition progresses very rapidly. https://t.co/FWjd9Hm8XZ
