He did better than expected with Hispanics. He's got a LOT of work to do still on his AA votes. nt Erich Bloodaxe BSN Feb 2016 #15

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.

But he's picking up steam a lot slower with that block of voters, perhaps because they tend to be more conservative as a whole. That, and because some folks have been doing everything they can to drive a wedge between him and AA voters.

Reiterating from our last note, she won 64 percent of Latinos in 2008, vs. just 43 percent in today’s entrance poll result – again, a dramatic shift.

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.

And he continues to trend upwards in national polls, while she continues to trend downwards. She'll take SC easily, but after that, she's going to be fighting for every single state, and losing more than she wins.
