Bernie Sanders appears well-positioned to tighten his grip as the favorite in Nevada on Saturday.
Joey GarrisonFrom the outset of Wednesday's boxing match of a debate in Las Vegas, Democrats piled on Mike Bloomberg and never relented, forcing the billionaire former New York mayor to clumsily explain his controversial stop-and-frisk policy, history of sexual harassment complaints from women and the exorbitant amount of his own fortune he has pumped into his campaign.

ORG XMIT: NVPS122With time running out to make a splash before the Nevada caucuses and Super Tuesday on March 3, candidates were at their most combative, led by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who had her strongest debate performance yet.
"So it's a fool's errand to engage Sanders and his supporters right now," Paleologos said. "It's a better strategic play to let Sanders and his momentum play itself out, hope he doesn't get enough to win a majority and to play the cards they're going to have."Can anyone stop Sanders in Nevada? “It seemed that they were certainly playing more to the Super Tuesday crowd,” Damore said of the debate, “knowing Nevada is going to happen, Sanders is probably going to win, but let’s start thinking about what happens in early March. I think the real fear is they all run out of money and Bloomberg is the only one left.”

But could Warren's moment be too late? Unlike New Hampshire, Nevadans have already cast ballots through early voting. Warren desperately needs a top-tier finish in Nevada to demonstrate momentum.
