4. Bernie's momentum grows weekly and there's time to try to gain among

Latinos, blacks and in the LA area we hope. He also has very effective known public supporters campaigning and appearing in Ads for him more and more. Lately Bill Clinton has been a liability regarding the damaging policies during his administration that substantially damaged PoC namely the 1994 Crime Bill and the Welfare Deform Act of 1996. We've come a long way, and have more to go which favors Sanders. And when people get to know him they like him; I don't think time is on Hill's side.
