\nSanders laughs triumphantly at Nevada win<\/em><\/p>\n

Bernie has rocked the Dems with his hat trick, winning the popular vote in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada, a first. “We just won the Nevada caucus. This grassroots movement is unstoppable,” Sanders tweeted. “Together, let’s win the Democratic nomination, defeat Trump and transform the country!”<\/p>\n

Not many moderate Democrats, Independents and Republicans want the transformation Bernie has in mind, though. <\/p>\n

Bernie won Nevada in a walk, winning 46% of the votes. Biden came in a distant second with 19.6%, Buttigieg took 15.3% and Warren 10.1%. Bloomberg didn’t even show up.<\/p>\n

Buttigieg, who is trying to position himself as Sanders\u2019 main rival and draw in voters, stated “I believe the only way to truly deliver any of the progressive changes we care about is to be a nominee who actually gives a damn about the effect you are having, from the top of the ticket, on those crucial, front-line House and Senate Democrats running to win, who we need to win, to make sure our agenda is more than just words on a page.” <\/p>\n

This earned him a tweet from NYC Mayor Bolshevik Bill de Blasio,
\n\u201cTry not to be so smug when you just got your ass kicked,” de Blasio tweeted to Buttigieg. \u201cYou know how we form a winning coalition to beat Trump? With a true multi-racial coalition of working Americans: something @BernieSanders has proven he can do + you haven\u2019t. Dude, show some humility.\u201d<\/p>\n

de Blasio dropped out from the Presidential race in September after a lackluster campaign.<\/p>\n

JOEL B. POLLAK<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Democratic Party has no answer for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).<\/p>\n

Sanders, who won the Nevada caucuses decisively on Saturday evening, also took the overall delegate lead.<\/p>\n

And after sweeping Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada \u2014 the first time anyone has won the popular vote in the first three primary contests \u2014 Sanders is in the pole position in the race for the party\u2019s presidential nomination.<\/p>\n

It is a prospect that has rattled fellow candidates, as well as the party establishment.<\/p>\n

The Atlantic declared:<\/p>\n

Efforts to stop [Sanders] so far have been ineffective and made the party seem out of touch. This summer, party leaders may be forced to accept the nomination of a man who\u2019s not officially a member of the party, who won\u2019t have won a majority of primary voters, and whose agenda is popular with his progressive base but doesn\u2019t have as much support with Democrats as a whole.<\/em><\/p>\n

Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who finished third in Nevada, warned fellow Democrats that the \u201cdemocratic socialist\u201d from Vermont is unelectable: \u201cSenator Sanders believes in an inflexible, ideological revolution that leaves out most Democrats, not to mention most Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n

But even if former Vice President Joe Biden wins South Carolina next week, it will not be enough to stop Sanders, who will finish second or better. Late entrant Michael Bloomberg has nearly half a billion dollars already, but inspires little confidence after a lackluster debate in Las Vegas last week.<\/p>\n

Though Sen. Amy Klobuchar was hailed as the \u201cgreat moderate hope\u201d after her surprise third-place finish in New Hampshire, she did poorly in Nevada and does not have the resources to match Sanders.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Looks like the Russians are getting their wish. That or Bernie is running roughshod over a splintered and disorganized Democrat party. Read the rest here: Breitbart<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
