Related: About this forumSo...CNN is reporting Trump won the Latino vote in Nevada.

What does this mean for progressives/democrats? I have no idea. Just thought it was notable.
Strange is the world in which we live...

(421 posts)Those types I don't think either Hillary or Sanders could win over.
There is another group though...those just pissed at "the establishment" in general, where I think Sanders would have an edge in winning some of them over as the GE candidate.

(24,979 posts)then Trump got about 8% of the Latino vote, in a state that is about 20% Latino, so we're talking like 2% or less of the total state VOTING population, in a caucus...
these things can be exaggerated in their significance!
