Hillary Clinton regained control of the Democratic race on Saturday. But as a new portrait of a Bernie Sanders voter emerges, shell be challenged to keep that control through what could be a very long contest.
(snip)
Yet theres a flip side. In the most diverse state to vote so far, Sanders pieced together a coalition that draws on both demography and ideology to show he can and likely will challenge Clinton for months to come.
(snip)
Critically, Sanders showed in Nevada that his campaign can reach a different swath of voters. Sanders carried Latino voters by eight percentage points, even though Clinton won two-thirds of Hispanics in the same state eight years ago. Though Sanders lost African-Americans by a 3-1 margin, hes at least shown that he can win voters who arent white.
(snip)
Despite the loss, Sanders has a clear claim on the hearts of Democrats. For voters wanting a candidate who cares about people like me, eight in 10 chose Sanders. Among those wanting a candidate who is honest and trustworthy, Sanders got 85 percent.
(snip)
That didnt happen in Nevada. The Democratic race, though, very clearly will have two contenders for a good while.

Still clinging to that flawed entrance poll. Hillary could not have won without winning Latinos.

Nobody does. That's the problem with caucuses. We only have the entrance polling.

its imperfections.
