The Bern flames out - NBC declares Hillary the winner in NV

[Spike]

Hillary Clinton will win Nevada's Democratic caucuses, NBC News projects, scoring a much-needed boost in the nomination race and depriving rival Bernie Sanders of a victory in a racially diverse state.

The loss is a blow for Sanders, who hoped to use the state's contest to prove himself as a viable candidate in a state with an electorate made up of more minority voters and fewer self-described liberals than the race's earlier contests in Iowa and New Hampshire.

well that's a ton of spin and a half from the establishment cronies at the networks.... look Clinton was expected to win Nevada by a huge margin... it wasn't even supposed to be a race... she will be lucky if its 5% she wins by... it was repeated ad nauseum that a close victory here was like a close victory in Iowa... its a virtual loss. If she cant blow him out in Nevada she is not going to blow him out where the Dems get more aligned with his way of thinking... she is in huge trouble. No one thought he had a shot and he is becoming trendy to vote for, its not far off from the Obama campaign... once a democrat reaches trend status he or she is a shoe in... and at least for the young voters that's the case, and for whatever reason they are voting more and more in this one

 

[Spike]

The Bern is done - she won the black vote by a large majority - Bernie won't find many black friends in South Carolina, that's for sure

 

[Spike]

the young voters

Didn't show up....so much for that

Tough to turn out the college kid and aging hippie vote on a Saturday.

I didn't even know NV was in play this weekend.

Quoted for emphasis and because it is comical to me.

He needed the early momentum more than she did, she just needed not to lose. She has huge leads in a lot of upcoming states.

 

[madinsomniac]

She had a 23 to 25 % lead on him and won by 4 or 5 ... His campaign contributionslast month went up to 21 million hillary was down to 15... Nevada was supposed to be a clinton blow out... It's primarily minorities that havent been on sanders bandwagon... If he wins in south carolina she is toast...

Not gonna happen...over 50% of Dem voters in SC are African American.

On deck...Alabama....Arkansas...Georgia...who do you think the Dems are there...hint: not liberal atheist Jews...

Don't count on that. There are plenty of yellow dog wealth envy Democrats down south.

WTH? I was posting in a completely different thread and it ended up here.

 

[Superman]

since when did Nevada get to be "racially diverse"?

Compared to lily white Vermont and New Hampshire where Bernie was expected to win - east coast socialists are the worst


The best part is Hillary and Bernie have not even tried to attack one another, at all.

Trump will rip all the skeletons out of her closet on a daily basis and gut her, while he would send weak little Bernie running home crying and ******** his Depends.

 

[21STEELERS21]

Super Tuesday will wipe Bernie out. His strength is media fabricated.

 

[Spike]

Like I said from the very start -Bernie's problem is he can't find any black friends, Hillary's biggest voting block


In a Black Church in South Carolina, Bernie Sanders Struggles to Get an ‘Amen’

WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. — The problem began as soon as Bernie Sanders walked into the dining room of the revered and predominantly black Brookland Baptist Church here. Instead of flocking to him, as supporters do at his large college rallies, many of the church’s 780 members present looked up for a moment, then quietly went back to eating their Sunday feast — unmoved as Mr. Sanders, the senator from Vermont, tried to work the room.
