2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDid I hear correctly, did MSNBC just say Sanders won Hispanic votes by 9%?
I had tv on in another room and I can't bear to sit in the same room as that channel - so I might have heard incorrectly. Anyone know the stats?

(14,733 posts)Hispanics are 17.1% of US population, AA 13.2%.
If Bernie is leading Hillary with Hispanics, it both kills the meme that he only appeals to white people, and puts a dent in just how much her lead with AAs helps her.
Even if he lost Nevada, if he's leading with Hispanics, that might be THE news of the night.
Hell, even if he's basically tied with her on Hispanics, that helps tremendously.

(1,890 posts)Reiterating from our last note, she won 64 percent of Latinos in 2008, vs. just 43 percent in todays entrance poll result again, a dramatic shift.

(4,974 posts)worked hard to smear him with Latinos - that's wonderful news.
If only he could make real gains in the black demographic (above the age of 30). Hillary and her surrogates will be working hard to counter the gains he made with Latinos and will be doubling down on the racial divisiveness they created with the black vote.
Hope Bernie has a good plan for that going forward.
