McCaskill has had some conflict with the Clintons in the past, but has emerged this year as one of Hillary Clinton’s top national surrogates.
The margins have varied widely, but they all show Sanders closing the gap nationally with Clinton since December, when it appeared she was retaking a firm command of the Democratic field.

The town hall comes just before the Party’s Nevada caucus, which is set for Saturday.
Sanders also defended his self-described Democratic Socialism.
Hillary Clinton is trying to win the hearts and votes of the Latino community in Nevada using a touching ad in which a girl is crying over the possibility of her family being deported.
The former first lady also went on the attack when asked about Sanders criticizing former President Bill Clinton for his record on Wall Street deregulation, the North American Free Trade Agreement and strict welfare rules. It was not unlike a meeting Sharpton held in New York Tuesday with Sanders’ rival, Hillary Clinton. “And even a small Clinton victory would satisfy Sanders donors, who will keep fueling the campaign”.
Then, in February 2008, Obama was starting to quickly pick up superdelegates, while Clinton had started to lose some to his side.
“Frankly, I think there is a middle ground that can be reached”, he said in a response echoed later by Clinton. “Maybe the color of our skin”.

“This is a very complicated issue”, Sanders said, noting the need to balance security concerns with individual privacy rights. “Every other candidate in this race has given speeches to private groups, including Senator Sanders”. A poll released Thursday by NBC News/Telemundo/Wall Street Journal, which included an oversample of Latinos from across the country, showed that 54 percent of Latinos had a very positive or somewhat positive view of Sanders.
The Hill reported: “Team Clinton maintains confidence that its lead in SC will hold, but the potential loss in Nevada has put people on edge about a possible “domino effect” in which states could fall one by one to Sanders as the Vermont Independent gains momentum”.

“If you had not been Hispanic, you would not have had as many hoops”, Clinton said. These are the party bosses who can vote however they want at the Democratic nominating convention. Still, the former Secretary of State’s campaign is not giving up on Sanders’ home turf.
