Voter Diversity Expected To Play A Role In Nevada’s Democratic Caucuses
It’s likely to be most helpful, though, when the race shifts to SC, which holds its Democratic primary on February 27.
Currently, 449 superdelegate party insiders back Clinton, some of whom are going against the will of their constituents, such as those in New Hampshire, where Sanders won the primary by an unprecedented margin.
Younger millennials mostly back Sanders, while the older population-their parents-mostly support Clinton.
Sanders dismissed those charges as a “reflection of a campaign in disarray”.
“It looks like they’re pulling up stakes the night of the caucus, something that always suggests things are not going your way”, host Joe Scarborough said. “I just have a different sense of how we should be talking about the issues that face us, to enhance the possibility that we keep the White House, and don’t have everything we fought for all this time undone”. The RCP poll average for SC today gives Clinton 57.4 percent to 33.3 for Sanders.
The NBC/Journal poll isn’t the point of this article, but I did want to note this interesting question from it. Asked what concerned them most about Hillary Clinton, a fifth of Democrats said her ties to Wall St. Two-thirds said nothing.
Clinton and Sanders both attended the Democratic Party’s annual fundraiser in Denver on Saturday.
However, Sanders has said that he would be a better president for women. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), who serves as the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.
“They are begging you, please do not nominate, I mean she’s actually done something”, he said. “Maybe it’s that Sen”.
The elder Sanders said instead of talking about the former president’s record, the media debates: “Is Bill really such a bad rapist – or is he a nice rapist?”
Some in the audience cheered, and some in the audience booed, leading Clinton to insist, “Well, it’s true”.
Williams added that she had been a Clinton supporter until she heard Sanders speak in person, delivering a message of battling joblessness and poverty that afflict African-Americans in Nevada.
Clinton responded, “I am happy to release anything I have when everybody else does the same”.
And he noted, drawing some audience grumbling of his own, that only one candidate in the Democratic race ran against Obama, before offering a strident defense of the president, saying that much of the Republican opposition to his administration was driven by racism.
“I think when Sanders emphasizes inequality and a lack of fairness in the economy, when he talks about the labor market and unemployment and economic insecurity, that resonates with voters in particular on the Dem side and that’s probably making a difference on Latinos here”, Tuman said.
