In a recent article < http://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/277-75/35985-focus-bernie-sanders-qwe-are-on-a-path-toward-victoryq > one of RSN’s reporters stated “Wisconsin’s demographics bode well for Sanders, who has enjoyed his strongest wins in states with a low percentage of minorities and lopsided support for him among young voters.”
Last Saturday’s results decisively refuted that canard!
Data from RSN state that Sanders beat Clinton 71% to 29% in Hawaii: that’s 2.4:1. Data from the US Census Bureau reveal that in 2014 < http://www.census.gov/quickfacts/table/PST045215/15 > “white alone” accounted for 23.0% of the population.

Data from RSN state that Sanders beat Clinton 82% to 18% in Alaska: that’s 4.6:1. Data from the US Census Bureau reveal that in 2014 < http://www.census.gov/quickfacts/table/PST045215/02 > “white alone” accounted for 61.9 % of the population.

Data from RSN state that Sanders beat Clinton 72% to 27% in Washington: that’s 2.7:1. Data from the US Census Bureau reveal that in 2014 < http://www.census.gov/quickfacts/table/PST045215/53 > “white alone” accounted for 70.4 % of the population.

Seems to me that we should consider the possibility that our electorate has finally started to “feel the Bern”.
