Why Trump is gloating about Nevada

Bernie Sanders is for real, his opposition is fractured, and President Trump is delighted to play the Democrats against one another. …

A key test for Sanders will come on Super Tuesday in Texas, where Latinos rejected him in 2016 for Clinton. But here is the dilemma for the divided moderates: Roughly two-thirds of Nevada caucus-goers said their priority was to find a candidate who could beat Trump, and Sanders received less than a quarter of their preferences. But the rest of that beat-Trump-above-all crowd was relatively evenly scattered across the candidacies of Biden. Pete Buttigieg, and then Warren and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.).

Sanders is beating them all because they are all beating each other. CONT.
