Bernie Sanders has reportedly won in a landslide victory in three caucuses giving a major boost to his supporters in moving him closer to securing the Democratic nomination.

Results in Washington, Alaska and Hawaii have reportedly been dominated by the Vermont senator in a major change in the rhythm of the presidential race in the democrat side. Although Clinton retains majority of the delegates in the lead, Sanders landslide victory has certainly dented her strong domination with persistent vulnerabilities within her own party particularly causing a stern choice with the young voters choosing to remain Loyal to Bernie due the latter's inspiring unapologetic messages.

 Sanders set apart his performance saying he expects to close the gap on Clinton as the race now moves to more liberal states including Clinton's home-state of New York. Sanders also said that now that his campaign is increasing awareness in the young voter-base, it's pretty clear that the time is right to take over Clinton even though a majority of the delegates are still with Clinton.

"The Deep South is a very conservative part of the country," he said. "Now that we're heading into a progressive part of the country, we expect to do much better." He was also confident on the path to victory but it's still tied equally with Clinton equally progressing. Meanwhile, Clinton hardly campaigned in the three states that Bernie won easily.

However, it might be noted that Clinton might be really concentrating on her home-state where she is scheduled to content on the 19th of April in New-York hoping to win large with securing delegates and avoid another embarrassing loss to Sanders in a state that she represents the senate.

Sanders apparently have found a huge success in the working-class voters alongside the youth and plans to compete aggressively in New York planning to schedule a debate in the state claiming it would be insane if one didn't take place. Senator Sanders will however need to win a majority of more than half of delegate base in order to have a dominating majority by the end of June.

 With continuously being successful in attracting crowds in tens and thousands, he has been able to secure a huge amount of donation support. Most of his victories have been in the states with a majority of Whites, but he is also able to rely on the youth where the same youth heavily favored the current US President Barack Obama to victory twice!
