Allowing ones personal biases to taint reporting like this is just bad journalism. Even CNN is calling them out on it now and CNN isn't exactly the gold standard in objective reporting.
Early breakdown suggests that minority votes went very heavily to Sanders.

I’m of the opinion the only thing that will actually matter is turnout. I don’t believe there are swing voters anymore, I don’t believe there are large swaths of independents who could be convinced to vote for either party. Trump, I think, showed his ceiling or very close to it in 2016. If the Democrats motivate their voters to turn out, they’ll win, regardless of the nominee.

Sanders seems to be seriously driving turnout. You're looking at 75k in four days just in early voting, which is just 9k shy of the 2016 total.
Quote:
In his final rally Friday night, Sanders said he was hoping for "the largest voter turnout in the history of the Nevada caucus," keying off the large turnout in the four-day early voting period in Nevada where some 75,000 voters turned out to cast a ballot showing their preferences in the caucuses.

I am surprised that Sanders wouldn't be more popular with African Americans given that he was an activist during the civil rights movement.

Next storyline: Why winning state after state is actually bad for Bernie and should the DNC step in? We ask ten conservatives why they hate Bernie. Did you know he owns shoes? See why this makes him a hypocrite.

Tangentially related to ResAlien's post -- I saw a New York Post article today bleating about AOC wearing a $300 dress on a TV show. Thought it was one of the dumbest things I'd ever seen. I wonder how much Matt Gaetz's Fox wardrobe costs. But God forbid AOC or Bernie possess anything of even moderate value when they're scary socialists!

It just reaffirms that most people don't really understand what socialism is and how it doesn't bar people from owning nice things.

If he wins most of the states he will. He has all the momentum.
Meanwhile, who does Mayor Pete think he is? Trump? Hes tweeting every minute.

I voted for Bernie in the Texas primary (early voting started on Tuesday). I figure he has a better than 50% shot at winning Texas.

Bernie fails to get 100% of vote, drops down to meager 55%. Mayor Pete a solid 9.

He's the first candidate from either party to win the popular vote in the first 3 states. His momentum is only going to grow from here, at this point I don't see how he doesn't get the nomination unless the DNC just flat out refuses to allow it

And, from what I heard, he was a soldier for the North in the Civil War 😉

Oh he won't just listen to the absolute panic and lunacy on CNBC and CNN, they will kill him first or he will have a "heart attack".
Also this just in apparently Vladamir Putin butters Bernies scones film at 11.

Signs are growing that voter turnout in 2020 could reach the highest levels in decades—if not the highest in the past century—with a surge of new voters potentially producing the most diverse electorate in American history.
About 156 million people could vote in 2020, an enormous increase from the 139 million who cast ballots in 2016.
In last year’s midterm, nearly 120 million people voted, about 35 million more than in the previous midterm, in 2014, with 51 percent of eligible voters participating.

Millions have turned 18 years old since 2016.

He spent his entire speech calling for unity in the Democratic party then promptly started attacking Sanders saying he would not be able to take down Trump. Basically he's saying unity but only under me. Me! Everyone pay attention to me! I'm your only hope! Why don't you misguided voters get that?!?
The whole thing makes him seem like an out of touch egotist.
