Latino caucus voters. What proportion of NV Latinos who turned out for BHO in 2008 turned out for yesterday's NV caucuses.

IMO, taking age distribution into account very likely turns SBS Hispanic vote forecast for the GE not a win, but rather a YUGE loss.

I suspect SBS did very well among naive Latino millenials, but not so well among greyer Latinos who've lived through Nixon, Reagan, and two Bushes.

Nevada tends towards the older voter along all demographic lines. That favors Hillary. w4rma Feb 2016 #15
