Nevada is more Racially Diverse and Representative than even South Carolina

?

So... there will be no excuses for ANY candidate if they can not perform well in Nevada next week.

Good luck to everyone and their preferred candidate in the MOST representative election of the first 4 early states.




On to Nevada!

So, I would not laud Nevada as being the "representative" state that you profess, given the economic disadvantaged of all races/ethnicities who may well not be able to participate.

I've done the caucus thing-- until Colorado fortunately woke up and did away with them after 2016. Those who diminish these disparities in who CAN participate are really not seeing the true picture.

If you can turn out and get minority voters in a caucus state, that would be hard to dismiss.

Nevada certainly would be much more significant than Iowa, right?

a representative result that we should all "hang our hats on" is not at all likely to be true.

Significant minority representation will leave no excuses for not doing well in Nevada.



As the say, the proof is in the pudding.
