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.
