Latino Vote Helps Bernie Sanders Surge to Victory in Colorado in Massive Democratic Caucus TurnoutColorado has a growing Latino population, who make up nearly 15 percent of eligible voters in the state.
Most of them are registered Democrats. Caucuses in Colorado are open only to registered party members, and the state added nearly 30,000 registered Democrats in recent months, some of whom reportedly joined the party so they could caucus for Sanders.
We go to Denver, Colorado, for an update from Corey Hutchins, journalist for The Colorado Independent, a nonprofit digital news outlet in Denver, and Dulce Saenz, a Mexican immigrant who is the Colorado state director with the Bernie Sanders campaign. We are also joined by Donna Murch, associate professor of history at Rutgers University.

(12,689 posts)Has Sanders really sunk down to claiming victories in states that haven't even voted yet? How sad.

(145,176 posts)The New Mexico primary is not until June 7. How can Sanders win a primary that has not occurred yet?
As for the Latino vote, these results make me smile http://www.buzzfeed.com/adriancarrasquillo/texas-colorado-latino-clinton-sanders?utm_term=.uo6wyo05Y#.ysepwL9y1
Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders won the Democratic caucus in Colorado, where Latinos make up 15% of eligible voters, but entrance polls were not available.
HUD Secretary Julian Castro, often mentioned as a possible vice presidential pick by Clinton, cautioned that exit polls are not definitive, but lauded her strength in states across the country as different as Nevada, Iowa, South Carolina, and now Texas.
Its not surprising, Castro told BuzzFeed News. Hillary Clinton has had strong support in the Latino community in Texas and throughout the country for a very long time, and tonights results in Texas and her strong support from Latinos are one more affirmation that she appeals to diverse communities. It says a lot about her ability to win in November.
70% is a good percentage
