Nevada Caucuses 2020: Live Election Results (click here)
Senator Bernie Sanders had a great night in the Nevada Caucuses, but, he did not win with a majority of all votes.
When the votes are completely tabulated and all the other candidates are one total the OTHER candidates won by 53.1 percent. Senator Sanders did not have an overwhelming majority of the vote that would rule out the success of another candidate had there only been two contenders.

From where I sit the field needs to be winnowed and a realistic front runner realized. There are too many candidates and while that is exciting for those that remain to qualify for the next debate, it is providing a "false positive" for the Democrats in their choice as candidate.
There is no irrefutable victory among the Democratic candidates.
1,991 Pledged Delegates Needed to Win on 1st Ballot.
There are 771 Superdelegates. Yes, that means every House or Senate member will have a vote in the 2nd ballot.
30 distinguished party leaders (DPL), consisting of current and former presidents, current and former vice-presidents, former congressional leaders, and former DNC chairs
236 Democratic members of the United States House of Representatives (including non-voting delegates from DC and territories)
48 Democratic members of the US Senate Including Independent Bernie Sanders
28 Democratic governors
438 other elected members from the DNC including vice-chairs of state parties.
It is all about the numbers and to date it has been nothing but exciting.
