The Democratic Party has no answer for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
Sanders, who won the Nevada caucuses decisively on Saturday evening, also took the overall delegate lead.
And after sweeping Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada — the first time anyone has won the popular vote in the first three primary contests — Sanders is in the pole position in the race for the party’s presidential nomination.
It is a prospect that has rattled fellow candidates, as well as the party establishment.
The Atlantic declared:
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’s not officially a member of the party, who won’t have won a majority of primary voters, and whose agenda is popular with his progressive base but doesn’t have as much support with Democrats as a whole.
