Clinton unveils Nevada argument on Sanders

Once expected to go easily to Clinton, the race in Nevada has appeared to grow tighter in recent weeks. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. speaks during a canvass kick-off event at the Reno Sparks Convention Center, Saturday, Feb. 13, 2016, in Reno, Nev.

As the Democratic presidential campaign shifted to Nevada on Saturday, Bernie Sanders moved to cut into Hillary Clinton’s support among Latino voters, repeating his call to overhaul the nation’s immigration policies and telling an undocumented immigrant he would “do everything that I humanly can” to prevent her from living in fear.

The poll surveyed 400 likely S.C. Democratic primary voters on Friday and Saturday.

In the poll, Clinton also leads among African Americans – winning 74 percent support to Sanders’ 19 percent.

Hillary Clinton says she’s more than a single-issue candidate and argued she’s the Democratic contender who can push the country forward.

Sanders has only fitfully gone back at Clinton when she’s gone after him, but he suggested Saturday that his patience is wearing thin.

In perhaps a subtextual critique of Sanders, Clinton vowed that she was “not making promises I can’t keep”.

And on foreign policy, he said, “I do get a little bit exhausted of being lectured by the Clinton people”.

“I absolutely believe what I said, that women should help one another, but this was the wrong context and the wrong time to use that line. I am the only candidate who will stand with you in every single fight, no matter how hard it is or how long it takes”, she concluded. “If we broke up the big banks tomorrow – and I will, if they deserve it, if they pose a systemic risk – would that end racism?”

“Will that end sexism? Will that make people feel more welcoming to immigrants overnight?”

The Washington Free Beacon now shows each candidate bagging 45 percent of the vote from likely Democrats in Nevada, a dramatic change from the 20-point lead the former First Lady held over her rival in that state in a Real Clear Politics poll as recently as in December.
