don't begrudge Hillary her win. Congratulations to her. She very likely will chalk up several more in the South in coming weeks.
But although she had the support of the African American voters, she lost among Hispanics, and once again did very poorly with Independents, the younger voters, with women under 45. Those are crucial voting blocks.
With those voters against her, and with the Trump supporters being fiercely enthusiastic, there's no way Clinton is going to win a general election with the thin support she has. She had a strong group of supporters in Nevada going back to 2008, and the black voters supported her, but she can't win the country when she doesn't have the Latino or Independent vote, and people under 45 are turning away from her in droves.
If Clinton were to win the nomination, those voting groups could very well either vote for Trump, write in someone else, or simply stay home. She has had the entire Democratic Establishment behind her, and years of political markers to call, but even with that, she only whacked her way to a win.
It would be a mistake to interpret it as any sign that a new engine of enthusiasm is suddenly behind her.
