Bernie Sanders's Biggest Test Yet With Latino Voters
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/02/bernie-sanders-nevada-latino/606628/I know people here hate Bernie and think the Socialism label will destroy him, but every demographic seems to be massively in favor of Bernie. I even just saw an article saying a sizable amount of Trump supporters like Bernie's ideas and of course he polls the highest among Independents.
I don't see any moderate candidate who can win all these demographics.

I don't imagine older Cubans in Florida would go for Bernie but younger ones lean more Democratic

Socialism sounds scary but on the other hand getting your HC free and student debt

That's the case with some Latinos. I think that their religion has a lot to do with it. Younger people are more secular.

taken away sound pretty awesome. 44 million people have student debt. If he does a good job getting his message out the number of new voters who just want their student debt taken away alone could be millions.

Not sure if hate is the proper word.

is RESPECT.
