Sanders' big win in Nevada, following his strong performances in Iowa and New Hampshire, increases fears among some Democrats that a Sanders nomination could cost them both the White House and Congress.

Bloomberg has positioned himself to pick up Biden's mantle by spending a record amount of money in states that vote after the first four. But his widely criticized performance at Wednesday's night debate raised questions about whether he's up to the task.

But recently, polls indicated Sanders has cut into that lead in South Carolina, and if the trend in Nevada holds in the Palmetto State, Sanders' dominance could continue. “They’re going to kill him,” Matthews said of Republicans on Sanders. “I think it’s a little late to stop him and I think that’s the problem.

Sanders was viewed as the favorite in Nevada – the state where, in October, he suffered the heart attack that could have ended his campaign – with most of the speculation centered on who would come in second. “Extremists have taken over the Republican Party,” the group said in one of their ads in Nevada. “Don’t let the same thing happen to the Democrats.”

Center-left candidates had hoped Sanders health care plan would hurt him in Nevada with the powerful Culinary Union. The union, which represents about 60,000 housekeepers, porters and bartenders working in Las Vegas casinos – warned members that Medicare for All would end the generous health care plans for which they'd fought hard.

seems like more justice dems will supplant them.

so.....it could be Trump vs Sanders...fml...how about anyone that’s normal, and not old as dirt

BIDEN MUST GET THE NOD

They leave a third party, ripe for the taking. Get in there Bernie

This will probably end the same as 2016, sanders takes the popular vote and the electoral college doesn’t give a flying fu*k and chooses trump anyway, good luck with your vote

How can you call a 4 percent voter turnout a big win?

Yes, we do. Because it's true. And Sarandon, BS's surrogate saying that they're gonna get rid of Nancy Pelosi is just crazy divisive. IStandWithNancy !

Bernie still has a lot of states to go. Not sure how communism plays in the Midwest & South.

Bernie is Trump's dream come True. If Bernie gets beat in a landslide Trump and the republicans will gain control of Congress; say goodbye to Obamacare in year one and say hello to more tax cuts for the rich all thanks to Bernie the Independent multi-millionaire turned democrat.

😂😂😂😂 OnlyBernie mediapropaganda BernieWinsNevada BernieBeatsTrump

How does not fighting for what you believe in make you more electable? It is the half measures, partial commitment, talking out of both sides of your mouth that makes people untrustworthy.

BernieSanders is one crazy old bastard! BernieIsACommunist

Trump wins if you let him... get out there and vote against him...

It’s looking awesome for us Deplorables with the old Socialist against Trump. We’ll win back the House, keep the Senate and Bela Pelosi will be sent packing back to SF. Landslide in 2020 🇺🇸

Bernie is not a Democrat, does not share Democrat values and would lose us the house as well as the presidency.

Seriously ironic, Las Vegas thinks it's best to be socialist....when there gambling rights are highly taxed, and they only receive a quarter of what they win, will they be satisfied?

fears that totally contradict all available data from 5 years now that he destroys trump in the election. sure. be afraid of the non-reality they've always lived in.

MAGA 2020

Sure will

When are they going to wake up...? ANY nomination by the dems will cost them.

The headline should be Trump wins . Cause if Bernie wins ..Trump wins .

Sad day in America! When Doc Brown aka Bernie Sanders wins Nevada! Who by the way has had a heart attack and we want him for prez Huh!!!!

Dems digging their own grave

Democrats fear of Bernie sanders being nominated could turn %100 true,should add to that fear of hitting hard the wall against trump too😆

Somebody help me understand....what’s so wrong with Bernie Sanders? Am I missing something?

1. Bernie knew Russia is helping him as early as Iowa 2. Bernie knew his attacking Bernie Bros were identified as Russian bots 3. Bernie did nothing to stop them in that month 4. Bernie benefited by Putin’s help & did nothing about it until caught Bernie = Trump-lite

*checks notes* Bernie has a whopping 34 of 1990 delegates he needs for the nomination. *scans notes further* South Carolina will be the biggest state to vote thus far & will likely result in a Biden delegate lead afterward, w/ the field winnowing. *rest of notes not written yet*

GOP said the same thing about Trump last time. Look how that turned out.

Why do Democrats keep letting Sanders run as a Democrat?

Socialist will never win, look at Britain.

VoteBlue✌🏼💙2020

Democrats did this to themselves with the media's hyperbolic assist.

bernieshq Bernie2020 NotMeUs

....and the Democrats go full commie. True colors finally revealed. Trump win.

2*2=4 no 5 ño 6 ... 4! No ren tv, 4. Ok?

It’s early

For fucks sake, start talking about how we’re gonna unite behind FDR progressivism to take our country back from this tangerine toad. I’m sick of this doom and gloom reporting

Looks like: Bye-Bye Biden

Comrades it has been a slow walk to serfdom for the Americans , this Comrade Bernie, will speed it up. Marxism will set you free

Its a no brainer, Trump Wins!

Democrats know their chances of winning back Congress and the White House are slim after these failed efforts... • Kavanaugh Hearings • Mueller Report • Impeachment Coup • Terrible Primary Candidates Already blaming their future loss on Bernie is just icing on the cake.

This fear is largely a MSM storyline.

It could be very bad indeed

The big winner is Bloomberg who wasn't on the ballot. Bloomberg is the Real Socialist. One of the richest people in the world who gives the money away. Bernie will give away $ for healthcare/college loan forgiveness in ways he has yet to explain.

We will lose if we nominate Bernie

“Some democrats” are the NeoLibs whose corporate overlords DONT want to pay taxes.

What a disaster. If we nominate Bernie, we deserve to lose.

He’s winning because he will beat trump and would have beat him if they didn’t put up a centrist last time. People want change and the working class will bring it. Enjoy the ride centrists while you fight tooth and nail.

So...now they want an excuse for gunning for a long-shot at impeachment and getting egg on their face. K

Looks likes it's going to be sanders v. trump in the general election

Sanders is not the reason you will lose, He’s the reason you won’t lose as bad!
