Bernie Sanders gave an optimistic speech Saturday after finishing behind Hillary Clinton in the Nevada Democratic caucuses.

"Five weeks ago we were 25 points behind in the polls," he told supporters. "We've made some real progress." Sanders said he believes on Super Tuesday, he has an "excellent chance" of winning most of those states, and he will continue to bring attention to the "corrupt campaign finance system which is undermining American democracy."
