Joe Biden ‘Could Live With’ Supporting Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders
The results of this Saturday’s caucus will be read like tea leaves by the rest of the country, as pundits and voters alike track where the race between Sanders and Clinton is headed.
“Anybody who doesn’t understand that the kind of obstructionism and hatred thrown at this man, the idea of making him a de-legitimate president by suggesting he was not born in America because his dad came from Kenya”, Sanders said.
They automatically attend the national convention and can support the candidate of their choice, regardless of whom primary voters back.
Hm. Hillary is not so inevitable after all.
Meanwhile, for the first time, a major poll – this one from Fox News – on Thursday showed Mr. Sanders leading Ms. Clinton nationally by three points.
Some of Ms Clinton’s most important Latino backers raised questions about Mr Sanders’ advocacy for immigrants, saying the Vermont senator repeatedly voted against immigration legislation. Bernie Sanders promised to make reforming the country’s immigration system a top priority of their administrations, should either win the White House. While he was probably nothing more than an afterthought for the Clinton camp even just a few months ago, he is now their worst nightmare.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, 80-year-old Larry Sanders, who lives in England, places much of the blame on the media for focusing on the wrong issues in the tight Democratic contest.
There are 17 counties in Nevada, 1,700 Democratic precincts and 250 caucus sites – generally schools, churches, community centers, except in some spots in Las Vegas where they are held in casinos.
“I was asked to comment on Bill Clinton’s very strong criticisms of me”, Sanders told the 350-person audience. “I don’t think they are taking any vote for granted.” said Morse.
The race is tighter in Nevada where poll on average have given her a two-point advantage over Mr Sanders in a virtual dead heat. Clinton, who is rumored to be considering Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro for her running mate, will be visiting Texas this weekend.
In recent debates, Clinton has attacked Sanders for questioning Obama’s decisions and policies.
“I’m so damned sick of people saying I love this guy but he can’t win”, said Troy Jackson, a DNC member from Maine who supports Sanders.
If Sanders does well enough in the primaries to merit serious consideration, but superdelegates with predetermined opinions give Clinton a convincing victory, many of those young voters may either explore the Republican Party, seek third-party alternatives or most likely, turn their backs on the political process altogether.
That means Nevada tends to be one of the lowest voting states, and one of the lowest voter registration states, Damore says.
Since they were not on the stage at the same time, Sanders and Clinton did not have the opportunity to confront each other directly.
