So Ron, let’s start with Hillary Clinton.

Clinton led Sanders 52.2 percent to 47.8 percent with 79 percent of votes counted, the New York Times reported Saturday night.
The race now turns to South Carolina’s Democratic primary next Saturday, where Clinton has a strong advantage due to her favorability with African-American voters.
“I am also proud of the fact that we have brought many working people and young people into the political process and believe that we have the wind at our back as we head toward Super Tuesday”, he said. Marco Rubio among voters without a college degree, the exit poll showed.
“We’re looking into the copyright issues here”.
He complimented his opponent on an “aggressive, effective campaign” but said he was still in a position to take the Democratic nomination. Her message of solidarity with minority voters stood in contrast to Mr Sanders’ more abstruse attacks on Wall St and the campaign finance system. There is already some evidence in polling that blacks under 45 who for now are still favoring Clinton, are more favorably inclined to Sanders than older blacks. Tam, before we let you go, former Secretary of State Clinton is not sticking around in Nevada. In 2008, 19 percent of primary voters in all 2008 primaries were black – Clinton’s margin among black voters is a big advantage.
However, Sanders showed stronger appeal than Clinton among the more than 40 million-strong Hispanic American community, winning 53 percent of their votes as opposed to only 45 percent breaking for Clinton, the report noted. Clinton spent much of the run-up to the Nevada caucuses portraying Sanders as singularly focused on economic issues. About 39 percent of Nevada voters are voters of color.
Once again Sanders dominated the youth vote. At that caucus, Clinton won 28 delegates while Sanders got 12. Yet Clinton received support from the majority of moderate Democrats. “And I’m going to demonstrate that I’ve always been the same person, I’ve always been fighting for the same values, fighting to make a difference in people’s lives, long before I was in elected office, even before my husband was in the presidency”, she said. And she asked voters to “imagine a tomorrow” where the country works together to find those solutions.
The Nevada results suggest Sanders’ star has risen among key demographics.
MARTIN: OK, very briefly – we have about 30 seconds – let’s talk about the Republicans voting today in SC.
In this instance, the card drawn determined the victor in one precinct’s tie-vote between presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
