Nevada showed Hillary Lost Her Grip on the Hispanic Vote; She had Won 40% against Obama in '08




By any measure, Clinton lost her grip on the Latino vote, which she won in Nevada by nearly forty percentage points in 2008, while running against Barack Obama.

...... As in Iowa and New Hampshire, turnout among voters under thirty was strikingly high, and in Nevada the Sanders youth brigade was black, white, Asian, and Latino. There were many reports of Democratic families, particularly Latinos, having split along generational lines, with the old folks sticking with La Hillary and the young responding to the more revolutionary message of this finger-wagging newcomer soon fondly dubbed El Viejito—the little old guy.

I'd suggest you look forward. Have you checked the polls and demographics in Texas?

The percentage of black voters is low compared to hispanic and white.

So this would mean she lost among 2 groups that have much higher numbers. Yet still win the election by 6 points by only winning among a group that makes up a small percentage.

And she even won in largely Hispanic areas while losing their vote.
