Bernie Sanders argued he is the candidate best positioned to beat President Donald Trump in the general election, and said Democrats can’t beat Trump with the “same old kind of politics.” 

“We’re not only taking on the corporate establishment, we’re taking on the political establishment,” Sanders told supporters in Vermont after he was projected to win Vermont and Colorado on Super Tuesday. 

“We're going to win because the people understand it is our campaign, our movement, which is best positioned to defeat Trump,” Sanders said. “You cannot beat Trump with the same old same old kind of politics.” 

“What we need is a new politics that brings working class people into our political movement,” Sanders continued. “Which brings young people into our political movement. And which, in November, will create the highest voter turnout in American political history.”

As of 10:30 p.m. Tuesday night, CNN had projected Sanders would also win Colorado, while rival Joe Biden had won six other contests.

What do Oklahoma Democrats want? A return to the Obama era

From CNN's Grace Sparks

Joe Biden’s win in Oklahoma was fueled by Democratic voters who want a nominee who can unite the country and will return to Obama’s policies -- as well as by those over the age of 65 and moderates. 

Almost 3 in 5 voters who said they want a nominee who will return to Obama's policies supported Biden for the nomination, according to exit polls.

Those who wanted more liberal policies went for Sen. Bernie Sanders, and more conservative voters were split between Biden and Mike Bloomberg. Over half of Oklahoma Democratic primary voters who say the most important quality in the nominee is that they can unite the country voted for Biden according to exit polls.

Bloomberg, the next closest candidate, came in at around 1 in 5 with that group.Around half of those over 65 and moderate voters supported Biden in Oklahoma.
