Arizona insider: Hillary Clinton’s Nevada win all but locks up Democratic nomination

Hillary Clinton isn’t buying entrance polls showing that she was a loser at the Nevada Democratic primary – at least among Latino voters. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is losing Saturday’s Nevada Caucus by a margin of more than 5 points (52.6% to 47.4%).

The candidate was then presented with a clip of Hillary Clinton’s caucus night victory speech, during which the former secretary of state went after Wall Street saying, “No bank can be too big to fail, no executive too powerful to jail!”

Clinton says many doubted her in Nevada but that she and her supporters never doubted each other.

In the end in, McCallum said, she questioned what Sanders would be able to achieve.

The next event is in SC next Saturday for the final primary before Super Tuesday on March 1.

In a news release, the polling firm noted that Clinton benefited from “overwhelming African American support” in several states across the South. Clinton’s support among black voters ranges from 63-74 percent in those states, while Sanders gets just 12-23 percent among those voters. “But today, we sent a message that will stun the political and financial establishment of this country: our campaign can win anywhere”.

In Nevada, women were more likely to support Clinton and men to support Sanders. Many GOP leaders believe neither Trump nor Cruz could win in the general election.

It was the black vote that boosted Clinton’s lead. She was also boosted by a strong performance in Clark County – home to the city of Las Vegas and the state’s most populous county by far.

Marvin Teske, a 53-year-old security guard at a Reno casino, said he anxious that Sanders would have trouble winning in the fall. And he has overwhelmed her in New Hampshire, virtually tied her in Iowa.

Sen Sanders remained upbeat, telling supporters after he conceded to Mrs Clinton in Nevada, “five weeks ago, we were 25 points behind in the polls”. “That is a major breakthrough for us in reaching out to a diverse nation”, he said. And maybe not exactly in the manner and style that some of her allies – or the broader Democratic party – will love. “Americans are right to be angry, but we’re also hungry for real solutions”, she added, a line that seemed aimed at aggrieved voters who like the urgency of Mr Sanders but may doubt he can enact his ambitious agenda.

Clinton captured the backing of voters who said electability and experience were important in their vote.

According to a poll of voters entering caucus sites around the state, Clinton beat Sanders 57% to 41% among women.

Three-quarters of voters described themselves as born-again Christians, after 65 percent of SC primary voters said that in 2012.
