The Clinton Campaign scored a BIG win in the Nevada Caucus primaries last week. In yet another major test of her ability to recover from the massive loss suffered in New Hampshire, Hillary handily won the Nevada contest over Sanders. Even better, Sanders himself had raised expectations by announcing at a pre-election rally that he believed that his campaign would win the contest. He should have learned a lesson from the Clinton campaign in New Hampshire. Their pre-election spin was that a "win" for Hillary would be narrowing the gap between she and Bernie to a single-digit contest. Of course, that set up the idea that if she didn't get to within a single digit loss, the outcome would be a giant loss. And, it was. But, Bernie didn't learn.....
Hillary won the Nevada caucuses by nearly 6 points a single digit win. By all measures, for Senator Sanders, a total unknown in that neck of the woods just a few months ago, to come within 5 or 6 points of one of the best known and recognizable candidates that has ever run for the Presidency, Hillary Clinton, would be a real "win." But, in the game of expectations, Sanders comments set the stage for a Clinton claim that the momentum had shifted, as expected, back to her and that there would be clear, if well-fought, and potentially storm-tossed, sailing ahead. With Super Tuesday looming next in line and with Hillary continuing to show strong support in the African-American community, expect yet another strong showing for Hillary next week. As with the Republican Primaries, it is getting harder to see a path for Senator Sanders to derail the march of the Clinton Campaign to the Nomination this summer. The Hillary train is rolling and will pick up steam and speed next week on Super Tuesday. Be there or be square....
