Nick Merrill, Clinton's traveling press secretary, also fired back at a statement from the Sanders campaign that said the Vermont senator "won among Latino voters by 8 points."

It was driving me crazy to hear this (that BS won Latino vote) reported all morning...when she won Clark County by 10pts, that is a highly populated Latino area, the highest...

Boy the Bernie supporters have been brutal, showing their true colors, which is:
1. Sore losers
2. Hateful
3. Not true democrats
