So Bernie had "just" 34% of the first vote, which is strong but not thaaaaaaaat strong when you consider that Nevada's demographic makeup is VERY favorable for him (NV is disproportionately young, latino, urban and working-class). That's actually perfectly in line with the ~25% of the vote he has nationally.
It was a strong showing, but the magnitude of his win was severely inflated by the way he hugely benefitted from the caucus rules against a hyper-fractured field. The bigger story coming out of Nevada imho is that he has proven his strength with latinos and young blacks rather than "omg Bernie won 46% of the delegates".
