New Hampshire Sets Up Nevada’s Latinos to Shape White House Race
*That Trump is unpopular among Latino voters has been the truth since the day he announced his candidacy. That Hillary has been popular among many Latinos is a historic fact. The question in the next 10 days is if Bernie can use his momentum to move Latinos away from Hillary. Also, there’s a cadre of young Latino voters, new to the process, who are already on Bernie’s side. I think the Hillary folks are realizing that the Bernie campaign is for real. VL
