Biden's Betting On Voters Of Color To Win. In Nevada, He Still Lost.

Joe Biden has been saying for weeks that the real presidential primary doesn’t begin until the caucuses in Nevada and the primary in South Carolina.

On Saturday, Biden came in well behind Bernie Sanders in Nevada, after weeks of emphasizing that voters of color in more diverse states would be the key to his success, following his disappointing finishes in the first two voting states.

“I think it’s very important to do really really well,” said Biden surrogate Rep. Filemon Vela of Texas, asked the day before whether it was important to win Nevada outright.

Immediately after the caucuses, Vela told BuzzFeed News he doesn’t think Biden finishing so far behind Sanders will harm his prospects in Texas, which votes on Super Tuesday — and then added that he also thinks Biden will win South Carolina next week. “I think today’s finish is going to help us,” Vela said. He said he thinks Biden will win Texas thanks to his “long history of service” but didn’t raise the role of voters of color in that state or in Nevada.

In entrance polls from CNN, Sanders appeared to win 51% of Latino caucusgoers Saturday, compared to 17% for Biden. Biden led with black voters, with 39% support to Sanders’ 27%.

2. Should we just call it over after 3 states?? I don't think so.

Only one candidate fears the Democratic Convention.
Why is that?
