LINCOLN – Bernie Sanders says that he and Republican Donald Trump have one thing in common: Many of their supporters are angry, middle-class Americans who are struggling financially.

The difference is whom they blame for the decline of the middle class, said Sanders on Thursday as he made a campaign appearance in Nebraska before the state’s Democratic presidential caucuses Saturday.

Trump is turning their anger against “scapegoats” such as Latinos and Muslims, Sanders said, while he believes the problem lies with “corporate greed and Wall Street.”

“Here is the reality. The American people have a right to be angry,” he said during an interview before the start of his 1:30 p.m. rally.

Clinton's strongest states will almost all vote by March 15, whereas most of Sanders’ strongest states will vote after that.

Sanders can win even without winning any states in the South at all. He also can afford to do without at least some states in the North, Midwest and West (including some big ones, like Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New York).
