Sanders Easily Wins Nevada's Democratic Presidential Nominating Caucuses

Ken Bredemeier

   WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders won an
   emphatic victory in Saturday's Nevada caucuses, strengthening his claim
   to the party nomination, but drawing protests from his challengers
   about his chances to defeat Republican President Donald Trump in
   November's national election.
   "In Nevada we have just put together a multi-generational, multiracial
   coalition, which is going to not only win in Nevada, it is going to
   sweep this country," Sanders, a self-declared democratic socialist,
   told cheering supporters at a rally in Texas, where voting takes place
   March 3, along with 13 other states.
   "We are bringing our people together -- black and white and Latino,
   Native American, Asian American, gay and straight," he said.
