Clinton's Nevada Win Shifts Burden Back to Sanders to Stop Her Bloomberg Politics

Nevada clearly shifts the burden for the next win from Clinton to Sanders, now forcing him to prove he has staying power in more ethnically and geographically diverse states. More than one in four Nevada residents are Latino. Polls show Clinton ahead in South Carolina, where African-Americans comprise about half of Democratic voters, and the contests that follow on March 1, include a swath of southern and heavily minority states where Sanders may have trouble keeping up with Clinton.

Sanders has said he hopes to do well in Massachusetts, Minnesota and his home state of Vermont. But there are more than a dozen contests on Super Tuesday, March 1, and dozens more beyond that, and Sanders will need many more wins that that if he hopes to keep up the promise of New Hampshire, of a people's movement denying Clinton the Democratic nomination.

In her victory speech at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Clinton suggested she's heard the criticisms that her campaign’s messaging until now has been too self-focused and not enough about voters, including younger voters captivated by Sanders.

“This one’s for you,” she told the Nevada audience. “This is your campaign.” She also made a specific pitch to younger voters, saying her campaign “has to be about what we’re going to build together” and applauding their generation for being the “most tolerant and connected” in U.S. history.

"It was mostly the organizers," Huerta continued, "the Bernie organizers were shouting 'no no no.' Then a Bernie person stood up and said said no, we need to have it, I can also do translation or whatever. The person who ran the caucus said, well we won’t have a translator. The sad thing about this is that some of the organizers were shouting 'English only! English only!' The Bernie organizers."

Again, this is what Huerta says happened when she tried to interpret from English to Spanish at a Nevada caucus site. The crowd apparently included a lot of Bernie Sanders supporters. And given that much of the Las Vegas strip's workforce is made up of Latino Americans and Latino immigrants, one would expect that some people in the crowd might have liked to hear what Huerta had to say.
