1. After a virtual tie in Iowa and a huge win in New Hampshire, the Vermont senator has steadily built momentum. He is keen to show that he can win the votes of not just white voters - who made up the majority of those voting in Iowa and New Hampshire - but from a more diverse population.

2. Ms Clinton’s campaign has always considered South Carolina, where there are many black voters, and Nevada, where there is a large hispanic population, as her firewall against Mr Sanders’ surge. If she loses in Nevada, she could still win in South Carolina, but more questions would be asked about her chances of going all the way.

3. Polls have Mr Sanders and Ms Clinton neck-and-neck across the country. A Quinnipiac national poll scored Ms Clinton 44 to Mr Sanders 42. A CNN poll for Nevada put Ms Clinton on 48 points, with Mr Sanders on 47. A Public Policy Polling tally scored Ms Clinton 52 and Mr Sanders 35 in South Carolina. Essentially, everything is very close.

2. No doubt

She has been trending down and there seems to be no bottom. Her campaign is desperate for a win. The media is already questioning whether or not she can last and they had always claimed she was inevitable.

We are watching history in the making as Bernie trends ever higher.
