Jewish presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has suffered his first clear defeat in his bid to beat Hillary Clinton to the Democratic Party nomination. That leads up to what’s called the SEC primary on March 1, where a lot of states, mostly in the south, vote.
HILLARY CLINTON: Some may have doubted us, but we never doubted each other.
“We saw so much great activity the last week and it turned out to be more than enough”, she said.
Sanders echoed those sentiments again at his speech Saturday afternoon, saying that when the campaign first set out in Nevada “we were way behind”, but that his surge of support, bolstered by more than 4 million unique campaign contributions, has carried him to this point. The middle class needs a raise!
Bernie Sanders is continuing his campaign as well.
“We don’t believe that the so-called entry polls are particularly accurate”, the former secretary of state stated. According to the poll, Mr Sanders won Hispanic caucus-voters ages 17 to 29 by 83 to 12 per cent, and Mrs Clinton won those ages 30 and above by 65 to 34 per cent.
A Washington Post-ABC poll in early February found less than 30 percent of minorities supported Sanders. Latinos made up 19 percent of the electorate in Nevada. “We are doing better and better among younger people, not so well among older people, whether they’re African-American, whether they’re white or whether they’re Latino”. She declared victory a short time ago in Las Vegas. He did win among Hispanics by 53 percent to 45 percent. More than three quarters of voters who wish to see more liberal policies also voted for Sanders.
The run up to the Democratic presidential caucuses in Nevada offered something oddly refreshing: a race in which no one really knew what was going to happen. If you do become the nominee, you’re going to need independent voters.
The Nevada results suggest Sanders’ star has risen among key demographics.
The Latino Decisions data shows that Clinton won the majority of the 40 precincts in Nevada that have more than 50 percent Latino registrants and in precincts 4560 and 4559, both in the crucial Clark County and over 80 percent Latino, Clinton won seven and twelve delegates to Sanders’ one and four.
“North Carolina has also disappointed (Bill and Hillary Clinton) in politics”, Guillory said.

Austen High, executive director of the Wake County Democratic Party, said it is especially important for Clinton and other Democratic candidates to campaign in North Carolina because of the state’s new voter ID law and the issues with redistricting. “But today, we sent a message that will stun the political and financial establishment of this country: our campaign can win anywhere”.
