He just competed strongly in Nevada - which you're already downplaying. Clinton's lead with minority voters narrows with each passing day. The main problem Sanders has is time - because as every day voters become aware of who he really is - you're seeing a significant electoral shift. The younger black vote has migrated to Sanders in a way that very few predicted would happen a month ago - and latinos in Nevada supported Sanders in larger numbers than anyone predicted weeks ago. So he can compete in non-white states: he just did.

Nice GOP-like deflection to not address the Super Delegate disparity.

lol @ "there were reports" -- c'mon fam.

Sanders has gone after Clinton *hard* on substantive issues. Pestering her to release her speaking transcripts to Wall Street isn't 'throwing slime.' For the most part, both Clinton and Sanders have run a dignified campaign - but there's a sense that Clinton doesn't play fair - and she has a very real issue when it comes to trustworthiness which weakens her General Election candidacy.

I know you're a Clinton supporter - but you can't deny that she has glaring weaknesses as a General Election candidate.
