Hillary Clinton won the Nevada Democratic caucuses on Saturday by a margin that was at 5 percent and grew to 6 percent with 95 precincts counted by midday Sunday.
The 53-47 percentage point edge was still closer than anyone could have imagined as Sanders himself pointed out that, five weeks ago, he was 25 points down.
Sanders’ appeal with young voters was undeniable as “free education” was the buzz among a generation of voters throughout the state.
Indeed, in her victory speech in Las Vegas, Clinton seemed to want to assure those who “feel the Bern” and are drawn to the “revolution” that she too had real solutions to their problems.
“And I want to say this to all the young people out there, I know what you’re up against. If you left college with a ton of loans, it’s not enough just to make college more affordable. You need help right now with the debt you already have,” Clinton said.
“That’s why I have a plan to cut your interest rates and cap payments so you never have to pay more than you can afford,” Clinton added without more detail.
Then she mentioned that one of her ideas is to add a little quid pro quo of sorts.
