Bernie Sanders "feeling quite good" after Nevada loss

In recent months, Sanders has caught up: He's spent slightly more than Clinton on television and radio ads in the state, investing $4 million to her $3.6 million, according to advertising tracker Kantar Media's CMAG, and has more staff on the ground.

Clinton says many doubted her in Nevada but that she and her supporters never doubted each other. The turnout overall was not that huge, but Sanders still received more votes than any previous Democrat in Iowa by a wide margin.

Asked if she has a problem she needs to address among Latino voters because entrance polls show her losing them to Sanders 53%-45%, Clinton said the actual voting tallies paint a different picture. The slate of March 1 primaries is dominated by Southern states where Clinton is expected to do well, Mendez said.

Yes, Hillary Clinton was way ahead in the Nevada caucuses for much of the previous year.

Bernie Sanders's quixotic tilt at the White House needed an upset in the Nevada Caucuses tonight. Clinton, who used increasingly tough rhetoric against Wall Street and banks, cited her preparation to take them on during her victory speech Saturday. Sanders is a runaway favorite, earning multiples of Clinton's support.

Shortly after losing the Silver State's caucus, Bernie Sander's campaign sent out a press release trumpeting his win with Latino voters.

According to the entrance poll in Nevada, Clinton won black voters 76 percent to 22 percent. "But today, we sent a message that will stun the political and financial establishment of this country: our campaign can win anywhere".

Most self-described liberals voted for Sanders as well, exit polls suggest.

Clinton seemed to know low-wage casino workers were likely to vote in her favor.

Clinton has captured the support of 451 superdelegates compared with Sanders' 19.

ABC News projects that Donald Trump will win the South Carolina Republican primary, based on analysis of the vote.

"I understand that voters have questions - I'm going to do my very best to answer those questions".

Those numbers don't bode well for the party's general election turnout effort, where Democrats will need to reach every possible supporter to hold onto the White House for a third term and claim a victory that would be necessary to preserve President Obama's chief accomplishments from the last two. In the state that represents the biggest Super Tuesday prize, Texas with its 252 delegates, Hillary Clinton is running away with a 21.9 point lead.

In a statement, Sanders noted he would be gaining almost the same number of delegates as Clinton and said the result showed he could win anywhere.
