After the contests in Iowa and New Hampshire, Sanders has a small 36-32 lead among delegates won in primaries and caucuses. But when superdelegates are included, Clinton leads 481-55, according to the count by The Associated Press.

Sanders and his supporters contend that Clinton’s backing merely reflects her ability to win over the establishment.
Both Clinton and Sanders said they would continue President Obama’s executive actions on immigration, which have delayed exportations of DREAMers – undocumented young people who are enrolled in school or enlisted in the military – and also of undocumented parents of legal children.
About one-quarter of Nevada’s population is Hispanic.
The Nevada Democratic caucuses are tomorrow, and though no one can say with confidence what’s going to happen, the results are going to generate a lot of scrutiny.
Former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell said, “Superdelegates are interested to see who can win, and many of them have strong ties to the Clintons, like me”. “Sanders wasn’t really a Democrat until he made a decision to run for office”. “I think we owe it to them to move as expeditiously as we can”, Sanders said.
The question was a tough one: “Senator Sanders, your chairmanship of Veterans Affairs Committee in charge of oversight for VA is arguably the most important position and highest ranking you held in government”.
Democratic presidential candidate, Sen.
Team Clinton has been counting on her lead over Sanders with minority voters to carry the day, but I have to wonder if we aren’t seeing yet another parallel between Bernie’s campaign and that of Donald Trump.
The Democratic presidential candidates face off tomorrow in Nevada with what’s billed as the presidential campaign’s first vote in the West. For months, Nevada appeared to be a firewall for Hillary Clinton. Though the union that represents 57,000 hospitality workers, the Culinary Union, has declined to endorse in the race it is urging its members to caucus, something that several Democrats think will help Clinton by turning out voters who are loyal to her. In 2008 she won the casino caucus sites even though the union endorsed Obama.
Clinton was pressed on why she has refused to release transcripts of the paid speeches she delivered to some of the country’s largest financial institutions.
But these rural voters may once again be the pivotal force in this fierce contest for the Democratic nomination.
“Clinton will win the type of victory that shows that organization does still matter”, added another.
“They were saying ‘We’re not going to forget this, ‘” Johnson said.
Hillary Clinton struck a more positive note from the outset, telling the crowd she would work to eliminate rules under current immigration law known as the “three- and 10-year” provisions.
Clinton replied, “Well, he was the president who created 23 million jobs, who raised incomes for every group in America, not just those at the top”.
No prominent leader who supports Clinton, including Clinton herself, is saying to vote for her on the sole basis of gender.

This is making many Sanders supporters begin to ask if they are simply pawns in a charade.
