Bernie effect or Beto effect ?

Texas is reporting twice the participation rate of Latinos in the primaries compared to previous time.
Is it favoring Bernie who has made inroads in the latino community as seen in Nevada or is it the Beto effect after he endorsed Joe Biden ?
I've no idea. They are reporting it's mainly from the Houston and Austin suburbs. It will be interesting to see what it is.
No matter what, if the latino community comes out in November we may flip Texas. 🙂🙂

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

...LatinX turnout would benefit Bernie. But, I agree on the sentiment regarding turn-out. In fact, anywhere we turn out in large numbers, Dems do well. When Bevin was elected as Governor of Kentucky, 947,000 votes were cast. Last election, 1.4 million votes were cast and Bevin lost. It's just that simple.

That’s where Bernie would rack up huge numbers.
