Bernie Sanders offered classy congratulations to Hillary Clinton for her win in Nevada, but the Democratic presidential candidate also found several silver linings in his caucus defeat.

It looks like Hillary Clinton will win a narrow victory over Bernie Sanders in the Nevada caucuses.
After winning the county in Nevada that holds more than 70 percent of the state’s population, Hillary Clinton can claim a decisive win in Nevada – if not as decisive as she would have liked.
Her win denied Mr Sanders the breakthrough win he sought in a state with a heavy minority population but his ability to close a one-time double-digit polling lead for Mrs Clinton suggested the Democratic nominating race could be long and hard fought.
Leading into next Saturday’s SC primary, the Sanders campaign will be fighting to change the narrative that Sanders’ appeal is limited to white liberal voters. Sanders, at 74, has drawn lopsided support among younger voters in New Hampshire and Iowa, and CNN entrance polls showed a similar case in Nevada. Latinos made up 19 percent of the electorate in Nevada.
“The choice in this primary might be tough for some, because the truth is, Senator Sanders and I agree on a basic premise: Wall Street, big banks, drug companies, and the like all have too much power and influence in our country”, she said. Bacal explained how he felt after hearing about Clinton’s win following the caucus.
Actress America Ferrara, who was on site, tweeted that Sanders’ supporters were chanting “English-only” to prevent Huerta from speaking. Senate Republicans have said that they will wait to confirm the president’s nomination until after November’s general election. Before that, she won the Iowa caucuses by a razor-thin margin.
When it comes in income brackets, both Clinton and Sanders had similar vote distribution.
About 4 in 10 voters in SC said “shares my values” was the most important quality they’re looking for in a candidate. “But I also know that on Super Tuesday and before, we are going to be taking on a very powerful and well-funded super PAC, a super PAC that receives a significant amount of money from Wall Street and special interests”.

But there’s one area where Clinton didn’t so well: Nevada Democratic voters overseas.
