Four reasons why Hillary Clinton’s Nevada victory is important

[LuckyTheDog]

A liberal tidal wave is building within the Democratic Party, but Bernie Sanders is no longer the only candidate riding it.

Hillary Clinton’s crucial victory in the Nevada caucuses on Saturday showed that Sanders does not have a monopoly on liberal voters. Clinton held her own with liberals while winning big among moderates. In the process, she has moved firmly back into the lead in the Democratic presidential race.

On Saturday Clinton won about 52 percent of Nevada’s county convention delegates. Although Nevada has a Byzantine delegate award process, Clinton’s margin of victory will likely give her a majority of the state’s 43 presidential delegates.

The ultimate importance of Clinton’s victory, however, does not really lie in the delegates at stake in Nevada.

7. I don't think that's necessarily true

Certainly, Hillary has strong support with minorities. But to suggest that a diverse electorate is a "nightmare" for Bernie sounds like a back-handed way of accusing him of being racist. If that is your implication (might not be), then you are wrong.

4. 30 point lead in NV vanished in 2 months.

And you think she's gaining?

5. and a much lower turnout than 2008

oh yeah, she "won."

They are running scared in Texas, too, where she has a 20 point lead to blow. It will be interesting to see how it all turns out.

I'll still be voting for Bernie in the Michigan primary.
