Analysis: The first two contests revealed how hard it will be for Sen. Sanders to expand his base in the Democratic primary.

It's a dynamic that bodes poorly for him in either an extended primary season with a streamlined field, or in a brokered convention situation.

"I think that there's going to be at least four or five, six candidates right at the top," Shakir said."You don't hear me thinking or believing that this is somehow a two-man race." Nearly every Democrat has a two-part theory about how Sanders' winning a plurality of delegates could play out: The first part is that it would be hard for the party to stop him from taking the nomination if he had a large plurality — more than 40 percent and far larger than his closest competitor — and that there is some undetermined lower threshold at which his claim to the nomination would become less powerful.

The contrast between the populist progressive Sanders, who has rejected the Democratic Party label because of his distaste for the establishment's ties to corporate power and campaign money, and the alpha capitalist, former Republican Bloomberg is unambiguous on economic matters. Sanders would love nothing more than to run his campaign solely against Bloomberg and Trump, a pair of fabulously wealthy New Yorkers, on the David-vs.

The silver lining of Sanders' dark cloud is that all the other candidates also have obstacle-filled paths to the nomination.

Bernie in the 60s fighting for civil rights!!

He's not even a Democrat, never had a public job and became a millionaire working for the government

Wandrwoman NBC propaganda.

This is supposed to be your version of “analysis”? Good lord please try harder than this garbage

Blah, blah, blah......

'Sanders, 77, has, in fact, amassed an estimated $2.5 million fortune from real estate, investments, government pensions—and earnings from three books' (Forbes). A socialist who likes money 🤔

It's almost like it's harder to get a higher percentage of the vote with 10 candidates running instead of two.

Mayor Pete- klobuchar Will be the be the ticket. You can stick a fork in the crazy old fool.thankfully he'll be too old to run in 2024.

Sanders 4th in latest FL poll. Damn you establishment third way corrupt capitalist centrist neolib pragmatist that we triggered & made afraid when we showed we can win & win & now we will win more although you try to stop us out of fear, oligarchy, and Bloomberg's beltway media.

JochenML He is almost 80 yrs old--He's had a recent heart attack--Refuses to release medical records--Looks extremely frail--Has basically accomplished nothing in his yrs in the Senate. WHY is the Media promoting HIM 2 save us from T rump & the loss of our democracy? Talking to you MSNBC

Fuck that. If he is forgiving student loans and we make up most of the voting population we will make that shit happen

Big Media just can’t accept that Bernie will be the nominee.

Note to “democrats”: fighting Bernie for Pete or Bloomberg will guarantee a Trump victory

In the end VP Biden will win.

Oh please. NBC obvious dislike of Bernie is not only embarrassing But telling regarding the lack of insight outside their elite little bubble

Wait till Super Tuesday. If this was Biden NBC'd be all like 'DESPITE OBSTACLES AND A DIVERSE FIELD GOLDEN JOE THE SUPERMAN STRIDES AHEAD.......' Corporate media bullshit.

It actually revealed election interference by the DNC

You needed to contest to tell you this Ok NBC back to Bloomberg TV

Talk shit about him when he loses. Talk shit about him when he wins. I'm beginning to think that the corporate establishment has a bias against anyone who might be for the welfare of the majority over the profits of the rich. VOTEGOPOUT voteprogessive

Bullshit. How do you explain that Sanders beats trump in a head to head matchup with trump in the polls? And the margin is expanding. This indicates his base is bigger than you claim. And he would have beaten trump in 2016 too.

U are right happend self compitwr in my phone whoa I respect but I did look list alot cost I did not sent them look low like sent them high cost notike I know it hard budget low

VoteBlueNoMatterWho2020

He’s not going to expand.

You people are sad

Bernie MIGHT be the only candidate that I could not vote for running against Trumpski

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Seems right since Bernie isn’t a Democrat. Whose next? They gonna dig up Fidel Castro?

The only reason it’s hard is because every news source is making it that way

It will be interesting to see if his campaign dies off or if DEMs embrace his radical policies... just to beat Trump.

He will never win presidency because the GOP will easy rally against “socialism” even though they already perform many socialist practices under the guise of “bailouts” and Medicare and Medicare.

He couldn’t even beat HRC, he’s not beating Trump. 😡

Don’t care for Bernie

Piss poor analysis . There are a lot of candidates for fucks sake.

He’s isolated himself with his far left ideology. He’ll never win a general election

Bernie 2020

I bet Amy Klobuchar won't have a problem.

BARACK LOVE U-BERNIE👄👄

The collective Beltway freakout is hilarious

Bernie Sanders on his big win in New HampshireWATCH: Sen Sanders says, 'The way you beat Trump is to expand the voter universe. That means bring in working class people who are disillusioned, have given up on the political process ... bring in young people in a way that we have never done before.' it’s a bizarre argument in the 21st century to say that an old white man will bring in young people. I cringe everytime I see his hunchback. maddow Lawrence Free, free, free, free-fucking everyfuckingthing..... Free. That’s how I like Bernie but Trump is gonna use this Socialist Tag to bury him.
