Winner: Medicare for All. As reported in the Boston Globe, “As [Sen. Bernie] Sanders piled up wins at precincts inside casinos up and down the Las Vegas Strip, it seemed clear that he had overcome deep opposition from the leadership of the state’s most powerful union to his marquee proposal, Medicare for All.”
Runner-up: Jim Murren. The CEO placed all his chips on Joe Biden and the former vice-president came through with a solid second-place finish, keeping his candidacy—and Murren’s clout—alive for the time being. Too bad Murren is not as persuasive to the MGM Resorts International board.
Loser: Harry Reid. His ‘don’t alienate anyone’ strategy handed the state to Sanders.
Biggest Loser: The Culinary Union. See “Medicare for All.”
