Looks like Crazy Bernie is doing well in the Great State of Nevada. Biden & the rest look weak, & no way Mini Mike can restart his campaign after the worst debate performance in the history of Presidential Debates. Congratulations Bernie, & don’t let them take it away from you!

Sanders himself said his previous election loss to Hillary Clinton in 2016 was because of a "rigged system," which Trump agreed saying he was stitched up.
Sanders bowed out of the 2016 election just before the Democratic National Convention and endorsed Clinton for the presidency in her race against Trump.
“No, some people say that if maybe that system was not rigged against me, I would have won the nomination and defeated Donald Trump,” Sanders said after being asked whether or not he hurt Clinton's candidacy.
“That’s what some people say.”
