After Nevada, The Real Race Comes Into View
It’s a bare-knuckles fight between Trump, Bloomberg, and Sanders now.

The Nevada caucuses confirm that Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) has clung to the ledge by her fingernails as long as she could and will almost certainly fall off on Super Tuesday.
It also confirms that the end is nigh for the Pete Buttigieg phenomenon, the typecasters’ candidate, a prefabricated person with all the outer ingredients but no relevant governmental or equivalent experience, no fixed beliefs, and nothing but flippant and fluently well-rehearsed answers to all subjects; an articulate façade with nothing tangible behind it.
Klobuchar and Buttigieg both have made a valued contribution and if Klobuchar had had more panache, she might have made a strong run for the nomination. As it is, she easily outpaced her Senate colleagues who quickly showed they had no substantive qualities: Cory Booker (N.J.) , Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), and Kamala Harris (Calif.). None of them had the remotest idea of what was required in a serious presidential candidate. And they all became ludicrous figures in pursuit of such a great office.
Booker told us that fighting climate change was as urgent as the invasion of Normandy in 1944—a challenging case to make, especially since Booker showed nor sign of having any concept of either.
Gillibrand, who replaced Hillary Clinton as U.S. senator from New York, adopted the position in the Kavanaugh Supreme Court confirmation hearings that women should always be believed when it comes to claims of sexual misconduct, even in the absence of evidence or corroboration, and that Bill Clinton (to whom she indirectly owed her political career) should have resigned as president over his peccadilloes.
