I disagree.

I believe that NV was Bernie's opportunity to prove actual significance, nationally. A win there would have -- no doubt -- solidified much about his campaign.

But in a State lacking the advantages afforded him in IA and NH yet not the South where he'll get killed? He lost a relatively close one.

That's very..."not good"...for his long-term odds.

There are reports of Berniacs dissing Dolores Huerta of United Farmworkers fame when she stepped up to translate at one of the caucuses in Las Vegas.

Where does that information come from?

And coattails show up on election day.

I do agree that Hillary is in the driver's seat but you have to admit that her shrinking lead in NV (and IA and other places) means something. thad that the something is far from good for the Clintons.

Thanks!

It seems the moderator did not trust the lady and called for a NEUTRAL translator.

Now, factor in Trump's move to the center once the general hits....."Hello President Trump".....
Let's not forget Trump's showmanship. I may not like looking at him let alone hear him speak (unless he is dissing Cruz on stage ), but he is a recognized and successful TV personality and no coat tails to grab on to. Hillary OTOH needs to have one hand out while she is saluting with the other.

Do you really think down ballot candidates don't need help from the DNC?

or are you one of those that think the DNC is evil?
