De Blasio Pins Bernie Sanders’ Hopes for the Nomination on Latino Voters

EXCERPT:

DE BLASIO: “Now it’s going to be a one-on-one matchup where voters will have a very different kind of choice. Bernie Sanders campaign clearly has shown tremendous capacity to organize. And the other thing that is being missed here, I think, is something’s changing on the ground. The Latino vote reality, which was getting a lot of attention in Nevada is not getting the attention it deserves right now. How did Bernie Sanders go from a guy that really didn’t have much Latino vote to a guy that now dominates the Latino vote? Because they worked it really hard. They have real work to do. This team, I’m a part of team Bernie Sanders, we have work to do in these next weeks, but he showed in Nevada, Texas, California, he can go get a much greater share of that Latino vote than anyone ever predicted. Now we've got to do it again, we have to reach deeper into groups of voters in the primary who might have been with other candidates previously. But that measure, that strange 72-hour, 100-hour dynamic that we went through in the last days , I think that is a thing unto itself."
