This is an amazing graphic. This in theory is Warren, Pete AND Klobuchar’s bases. And they are splitting it perfectly. Just a perfect storm. pic.twitter.com/JhZL0H8Q11

6:10 PM: Begala trying his best to paint Sanders as the “establishment.” Good luck with that.
He’s been a mayor, congressman, or senator for 39 years. He’s the Ranking Member of the Senate Budget Committee and former Chair of the Veterans Affairs Committee. And he is now the frontrunner of the Dem party for president. How is he not the establishment? https://t.co/n8Z5aL9oPa

5:47 PM: Mayor Pete Basically Conceding Momentum Is with Sanders:
interestingly timed fundraising missive from Buttigieg campaign: “We can’t afford four more years of the same kind of toxic politics, whether it’s coming from Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders.”
— Rick Klein (@rickklein) February 22, 2020
New Buttigieg fundraising email hits Sanders hard over his response to yesterday’s Russia news.
“It’s telling of the kind of politics we’re in for in Bernie’s vision of the future: More conspiracy theories, more attacks undermining the free press…” pic.twitter.com/CCzzsE3t0j

5:39 PM: There’s going to be a lot of pressure on her to drop out.
Already in Minnesota from Nevada, @amyklobuchar cast her vote today, early, in Minneapolis, a campaign spokesperson tells NBC News. She was joined by her husband John Bessler.

5:35 PM: Bernie going for KO:
Bernie Sanders being in Texas on the night of the Nevada Caucus is the sign of campaign that wants to lock up the nomination by mid-March
— Dan Pfeiffer (@danpfeiffer) February 22, 2020
5:25 PM: Fox News calls Nevada for Bernie:
With 4% of precincts reporting, Fox has called Nevada for Sanders

5:25 PM: Union workers voted for Sanders.
Fascinating – I asked many @SenSanders supporters about their unions’ concern about Medicare for All. They told me yes, they have good insurance now but what if they lose their jobs? And they have friends and family w/o jobs (NV jobless rate is higher than national average)
— Chris Jansing (@ChrisJansing) February 22, 2020
5:20 PM:Sanders with the early lead as the votes start coming in and establishment “hacks” like Carville don’t know what to do:
As @BernieSanders is primed 4 big #NevadaCaucus victory, @JamesCarville calls for media 2 interfere in 2020 election 2 warn Americans of the “risk” of Sanders.
“I don’t know if us in the media are sufficiently telling people what are the risks that you’re running by doing this” pic.twitter.com/L9bVWrJJ1x

4:50 PM:
Young voters (under 30) are more likely than any other age group to support a government health care plan that would replace private insurance.
8 in 10 said they do.
Seniors are divided on this with roughly half supporting it and half opposing it.

4:47 PM: Sanders energized in Texas:
We’re running against billionaires and some candidates funded by billionaires, but Trump fears our campaign the most because we have what they don’t. We have an unprecedented movement. Live from El Paso: https://t.co/mApZ7TCCgb
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) February 22, 2020
4:45 PM:
Half of the 4 precincts I chaired this morning were determined by cards. Both were small precincts only awarding 1 delegate. #NVCaucus
1 to Pete
1 to Warren pic.twitter.com/P4MydINNfJ— R. Armstrong (@RossEArmstrong) February 22, 2020
4:25 PM: Union workers not listening to their establishment leaders:

4:21 PM:
According to @ABC‘s preliminary data on Nevada Caucus entrance polls there was a decline in racial and ethnic minorities. Nonwhites accounted for 35 percent of caucus-goers, compared with 41 percent in 2016.

3:40 PM: Reports of low turnout due to early voting:
This is the gym of Rancho High School in East Las Vegas, a predominantly working class community and which was advertised by the Nevada Dem party as a good site to be at on caucus day. It is apparently a bust due to early voting. https://t.co/PXYWvKS47l

2:35 PM: Caucuses begin at the top of the hour.
Iowa has coin flips, Nevada has a deck of cards for ties:

What issues are motivating Latino voters in Nevada? Our reporter @SuzGamboa is on the ground and has spoken to Latino voters participating in the #NevadaCaucus. Latinos make up 20% of Nevada’s voters. https://t.co/JxgB9keh7M

Interesting:
Heard from a campaign that party officials told them there aren’t enough volunteers to be precinct chairs so they’re asking campaigns to provide them, setting up a conflict of interest (and probably benefits Sanders, who’ll have volunteers everywhere). DM if you’re at a caucus.

The #NVcaucus formally begins at noon pacific, but Sen. @BernieSanders is wheels down in El Paso, TX for the first of four Texas rallies his campaign has scheduled weekend. https://t.co/OTr1sFybJH

Warren with huge fundraising haul, probably with an assist from Bloomberg:
I want every person who pitches in a few bucks to our campaign to know: I’m deeply grateful for you. Together, we’re building a movement to put power in the hands of the people. Chip in now to keep up the momentum. https://t.co/mjkNrZp4CC https://t.co/dyZ1pUayKf
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) February 22, 2020
Biden still still with zero wins in three presidential runs.
.@JoeBiden tells me win or lose, he’s moving on to Super Tuesday
On Russia: “what I’m surprised about is..why they didn’t tell me & other people what’s going on here”
“Putin doesn’t want me to be the nominee because he knows I know him. He knows I will not take any of his guff” pic.twitter.com/komVnqR39m

Nevada Dems bragging about registering new Democrats.
NEWS: More than 10,000 Nevadans registered to vote as Democrats during early voting for the #NevadaCaucus – growing our advantage over Republicans again!
This is how we beat Donald Trump and elect Democrats up and down the ticket in 2020.https://t.co/DZW7L7BV7V
