How could Hillary's Nevada caucus quickly change pro-Bernie mood in Rhode Island ?


I do not scoff at scientific polls. But the voters are in an anti-establishment mood. And Hillary is the very face of the establishment of the Democratic Party. I think a large turn out on Primary Day here will definitely favor Bernie Sanders.I find it hard to believe that Hillary's less than overwhelming victory in the Nevada caucus so quickly changed the hearts and minds of registered Democrats in Rhode Island.
I also see no reason whatever why black voters- especially young black voters -should favor hawkish Hillary - the cheer leader for Goldman Sachs, and hardly anti-Wall Street. Hillary is NOT " political revolution ". She is a neo-Democrat. Bernie Sanders is closer to a New Deal Democrat-even as " democratic socialist ". Hillary and Obama make FDR look like a flaming Bolshevik.
I don't think there is any more political magic in stale identity politics. The class struggle rises above it. A critical supporter of " Feel the Bern " Bernie Sanders , I at least know who I am voting for in the Rhode Island Democratic Primary. The latest polls show him leading in Vermont and Mass. ( still close ) .
