Nevada, the Morning After

This morning, with some 60% of the precincts reporting, it appears Bernie Sanders is getting just under 40% of the second round caucus votes in Nevada. Yes, it is twice what his nearest competitors are receiving, but less than half of the total.

Translation: Roughly 60% of Nevada Democrats do not want Sanders as their nominee. Following the Democrat’s rule that anyone getting at least 15% of the vote wins delegates to the convention, it appears Biden and Buttigieg will also gain delegates in NV, Sanders more than they.

South Carolina votes Tuesday, after which I expect to see some folks drop out of the race. Who knows, maybe some realists will leave sooner.
