Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has won Nevada's caucuses, and he knows exactly what got him here.

Sanders gave his speech from El Paso, Texas, where he promised to not only win the Democratic primary, but win the general election as well. But "don't tell Donald Trump," Sanders said. "He'll get very nervous."
