Or will the powers that be be able to stop him?

1. Sanders wins: All signs -- energy, polling etc. -- point to a victory Monday night by the Vermont senator.
The Iowa Democratic Party tends to favor liberals over moderates -- most other factors being equal -- and Sanders has never really stopped running for president since he lost the nomination to Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Sanders, knowing how important winning in Iowa is to his chances, has gone all-out in the state -- bringing in a slew of surrogates and the likes of Vampire Weekend and Bon Iver to rally his supporters.
If Sanders wins Iowa, it's hard to see him losing New Hampshire eight days later, given that polling already shows him ahead there. And if he wins the first two states with Nevada next, where he is running strong, we could be talking about South Carolina as the last hope for the establishment to keep Sanders from the nomination.
If, on the other hand, Sanders loses in Iowa to Biden, Warren or Buttigieg, it will drive a narrative that voters might love him and his ideas, but when the rubber meets the road, they think he is too risky a pick.
