For Sanders, it's all about people.

And so goes any hope for Clinton winning California. Her racial divide strategy is becoming one big epic fail.

What I meant is racial division is a big part of her strategy to get votes and it's not working.

It's absolutely disgusting, and shows the disdain she must have for voters.

We won't be fooled by Clintonian tactics, we have good BS detectors. There's still work to be done with the older generation (still working on my mom) but she's starting to open up to the idea of supporting Bernie.

is her support is dropping.in 2008 she won latinos against obama.now she is in danger of losing latinos to bernie.

If bernie does win today In nevada i feel it will be because of Latino vote breaking for bernie and against her.

Not surprising either. Most people hadn't even heard of Bernie outside of New England. But he's a straight-shooter and people will come over to his side as they get to know him. Name recognition can only get you so far. Especially when that name is synonymous with deceit.
