Nevada's Democrat Caucus is scheduled for this coming Saturday, ahead of the South Carolina primary. Because of the state's diversity -- 15 percent black and more than 25 percent Hispanic -- Nevada was, as Team Clinton told Buzzfeed.com, supposed to be a firewall, one that would put Hillary Clinton back on the road to the nomination. With such a high minority vote, Nevada was seen as providing her a decisive win -- one with a high enough margin to wash away the bad taste that New Hampshire's drubbing left.

The casino people go to their workday and find themselves at the caucus for pay.
She has a BIG problem with Bernie.
A BIG problem.
Talk to any Millenial for more than a couple of minutes and you’ll realize, she has a BIG problem.
She could lose 100 to 1 and still have more delegates.
