Hillary Clinton’s win in Nevada caucus solidifies her standing

The real wildcard is whether that sharp age divide combined with heavier turnout among younger Latinos carries over into any other states where Latino voters make up a significant share of the population, and that assessment will likely have to wait until after South Carolina’s Democrats go to the polls.

Clinton addressed the hot-button issue of wealth inequality and getting money out of politics, relating it to the vacant seat in the Supreme Court. Ted Cruz led slightly among those who cared most about a candidate sharing their beliefs, Trump led slightly among those who said they were born-again Christians. Big wins in those states for either candidate would put the nomination within sight. Depending on how exactly the GOP nominating contest eventually plays out, we may well be facing a campaign between a full-throated leftie and a hard-core right-winger. Mrs. Clinton won about 75 percent of the black vote in Nevada, entrance and exit polls show.

Attention in SC turns to those Democrats after Republican primary voters sent Donald Trump to his second straight election victory. Her support among African-Americans, who make up more than half of the Democratic electorate there, give her what appears in polls to be an insurmountable advantage. Like many fellow African Americans, she voted for Bill Clinton. “It’s not something she just turned to”.

“There is no classified marked information on those emails sent or received by me”, Clinton said. “It’s a tremendous and well deserved win”.

Clinton nearly crossed paths with Sanders at Harrah’s casino Saturday morning less than an hour before the caucuses began.

“If we listen to the heartaches of people around the country …”

“Certainly among those with less education here there has been a sense of concern about heightened competition for low skill work, and Las Vegas and southern Nevada has been a place where typically you can experience some upward mobility with a high school degree or less”, said John Tuman, chair of the political science department at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.

In her victory speech and address to supporters gathered for a late-night Texas rally, Clinton shifted her message from her White House qualifications to what Americans can accomplish together.

Mrs Clinton admitted she had a “trust issue”.

In the view of several political analysts, victory in Nevada and proven popularity with minority voters increases the likelihood of her winning the SC primary (Feb 27) and many Super Tuesday contests on March 1. Both the Sanders and Clinton campaigns last week began airing their first television ads.

And in 2014, Gov. Brian Sandoval, a Republican, carried about 50 percent of the Latino vote, Damore said. Another 45 percent said they trusted Sanders more to pursue policies that raise the incomes of average Americans, with Clinton polling at 38 percent in the same category.
