Yayibambe ukuba isizathu uMnu Reid akazange vuma Umgqatswa wobongameli kukuba ufuna ukomeleza iingxaki zakhe ekhethiweyo owangena ezihlangwini zakhe, owayesakuba liGqwetha likaRhulumente u-Catherine Cortez Masto, ephumelela isihlalo sakhe se-Senate ngo-Novemba xa uMnu Reid ethatha umhlala-phantsi. Omnye unokuphikisa ukuba esona sizathu sokuba uMnu. Reid ale ukwamkela umgqatswa yayikukuphembelela iikhokhasi phantsi kobuhlanga bokungathathi cala, nto leyo ngekhe ibenikwe yena ukuba ebengahlali esidlangalaleni.
Kwiveki engaphambi kweecucucus zeNevada, njengoko iipolls ezintsha zabonisa inkxaso kaSen. Bernie Sanders kwinkxaso kurhulumente, uMnu Reid wenza umnxeba kwintloko yomanyano olunamandla waseNevada-i-Culinary Workers Union eLas Vegas, engakhange icwangcise ukuzibandakanya kwiikhokhasi-kwaye nefuthe kwisigqibo somanyano. Umnumzana Reid wenza iminxeba kubaphathi bekhasino ecaleni komthendeleko waseLas Vegas ukuqinisekisa ukuba abasebenzi bekhasino banikwa ixesha lokuphumla lokuya kwiikhokhasi ezikwesi siqwenga, ekwakucingelwa ukuba siyinqaba likaNks Clinton kurhulumente. Ukungcakaza kukaMnu Reid kuhlawulwe, ngazo zontandathu iikhakhasi zekhasino Uthanda uNksk.Clinton kunoMnumzana uSanders nge-109 ukuya kuma-52 .
UMnu Reid uqobo indawo Uthandile uNks.Clinton ngomgama obanzi ngokwaneleyo ukuba bekungekho ngokwaneleyo abaxhasi bakaSanders ukuba baphumelele nabaphi na abathunywa, ngokubalulekileyo bebona iivoti zabaxhasi bakhe zingenaxabiso, ezibonisa iziphene ezendeleyo kwiikhokhasi ngokwazo. Iikhokhasi azilungelelananga, zinika amathuba angakumbi obuqhetseba nenkohliso, kwaye zivumela abaxhasi ukuba bacele abantu abanokuba ngabavoti njengoko besenza izigqibo, engekho mthethweni kwiindawo zokuvota kuba kunjalo ephikisanayo Kwidemokhrasi kwaye yenza ivoti yakhe ibe yeyasesidlangalaleni -ukubeka abathathi-nxaxheba ukuba baphembelele ngokuchasene neenkolelo zabo zopolitiko. Caucuses kwakhona dimaza Ukuvota okuphezulu kuba amaqela abavoti kufuneka abalwe onke ngaxeshanye, okwenza ukuba umcimbi uchithe ixesha elininzi kunokumane uvota.
Kwi-Nevada, kuqikelelwa Abantu abangama-80,000 ibonakalise ii-caucuses zikarhulumente zedemokhrasi, ukwehla okubalulekileyo ukusuka kwi-120,000 ngo-2008, ekwakukwangumlinganiselo ophantsi ongabalulekanga Bangaphezulu kwama-470,000 abavoti ababhalisiweyo beDemokhrasi eNevada —Naye ngaphezulu kwama-200,000 kwabo bavoti bavote kunyulo jikelele lowama-2014. INevada yaziwa ngokuba nayo inani eliphantsi lokuvota xa kuthelekiswa nelinye ilizwe, kwaye intshukumo yokubamba ii-caucus endaweni yeprayimari-ikakhulu egqitywe nguMnu Reid-ibingazukunceda.
I-primary caucus yokuqala yase-Nevada yabanjwa ngo-2008 (kwakhona ngenxa yemizamo kaMnu. Reid) njengendlela yokubonisa ngcono iyantlukwano yelizwe xa lilonke-leyo yayisilela kubemi babavoti base-Iowa nase-New Hampshire. Ikhokhokhasi yokuqala yeNevada ikwabonelele ngethuba likaMnu Reid, obandakanyeka kwezopolitiko zaseNevada ukusukela nge1960s, yokuhlanganisa amavolontiya eDemokhrasi kunye nabaxhasi abakhokelela kunyulo jikelele. Ukuba iNevada igcina isikhundla sayo sokuqala kunye ne-Iowa kunye neNew Hampshire, iya kubalelwa kuMnu. Reid's Ilifa emva kokuba ethathe umhlala-phantsi, kunye neyakhe vala Unyulo kwakhona luka-2010 kwiNdlu yeeNgwevu kunye Umatshini wentando yesininzi wakha kumashumi ambalwa eminyaka edluleyo.
Ngendlela efanayo, ukuba uNks.Clinton wayephulukene ne-Nevada, yayiya kuba sisibetho esikhulu kumatshini kaMnu. Reid weDemokhrasi (kunye nolawulo lwakhe njengomveleli wayo), esele ikho phantsi kwesongelo Ukusuka kwiRiphabhlikhi. Ngo-2014, AmaRiphabhlikhi aphumelele enkulu eNevada , Ukuthatha isihlalo serhuluneli, ubukhulu eNdlu kaRhulumente naseNdlu yeeNgwevu, nakwizithili ezine zaseburhulumenteni zase-U.S.

Impembelelo kaMnu Reid yayingeyiyo kuphela into ephazamisayo nengademokhrasi kwiikhokhasi zeNevada kulo nyaka. Abaxhasi bephulo likaNksz Clinton babenjalo ibanjiwe ngumlawuli olawulayo womanyano, uRoseAnn DeMoro, olinganisa amalungu eNational Nurses United Union, evume uMnu. Sanders. UNksz DeMoro wathabatha iifoto zabaxhasi bakaNks Clinton batshintsha baba zihempe ezibomvu ezifanayo nezo zazinxitywa ngamalungu omanyano ngelixa babekhankasela uMnu. Sanders. Iindaba ze-ABC nazo ixelwe Abalandeli bakaClinton babeqhuba iipoll zokutyhala ngaphambi kweecucus zokuvavanya imigca yokuhlaselwa kwabavoti.
Enye yezona mpikiswano zinkulu zekhokhasi ibango elenziwe ngumlingisi u-Americana Ferrera kunye ne-activist uDolores Huerta, bobabini abaxhasi bakaClinton, babaxhasi bakaSanders becula isiNgesi kuNks. Huerta ngelixa wayezama ukuguqula ngexesha lekhokhasi eyayibanjelwe kwiHarrah's Casino eLas. Umtya weVegas. Umdlali weqonga USusan Sarandon kunye noGaby Hoffman, abaxhasi bakaSanders ababekhona, banikezela ubungqina bevidiyo obuchaza uNks Ferrera noNks. Huerta. Snopes ulawule noNks. Ferrera kunye noNks. Huerta izityholo zibubuxoki, kodwa hayi ngaphambi kokuba iimpapasho ezinkulu zosasazo ziye zatsiba umpu kwaye zapapasha amabali eqinisekisa ukuba ziyinyani. USekela-Sihlalo we-DNC uDonna Brazile ungene ngaphakathi , ngaphandle kokungakhethi buso isikhundla sakhe sifuna. Ukunqongophala kwalo naluphi na uhlobo lwenzame efanelekileyo yokuxhasa izityholo zikaNks.Ferrera kunye noNks.Huerta luphawu lokhetho oluthandwe nguNks uClinton ngamajelo eendaba nakwimeko yezopolitiko.
Ngo-2008, uNks.Huerta waxhasa uNks uClinton ngaphezulu kukaBarack Obama, kwaye wazama ukunyelisa abalandeli baka-Obama njengabacalucaluli ngokuchasene neLatinos. Ngaphandle kwengcinezelo kunye noxinzelelo lwabavoti kunye noloyiko olukhulu kwicala labaxhasi baka-Obama babasebenzi bekhasino baseLatino, bavotela uHillary, UNks. Huerta uthe ngo-2008. udliwanondlebe ngedemokhrasi ngoku.
Olu hlobo lokuthambisa luqhelekile ngabaxhasi bakaClinton kwezi nyanga zidlulileyo. Inkqubo ye- Ibali likaBernie Bros , ukuzama ukubonakalisa abalandeli bakaSanders njengamadoda amhlophe ngokwesini, kwasetyenziswa ngokuchasene noMnu Obama ekubizeni abalandeli bakhe ngoo-Obama Amakhwenkwe. Zombini ezi zityholo zazinobungqina obuncinci ngaphandle kwengqwalaselo efunyenwe kwimithombo yeendaba nakwabaxhasi bakaClinton, ngelixa ubufazi kunye nemicimbi enxulumene nokukhuthaza ukulingana ngokwesini yawa ecaleni kwendlela yamapolisa atyholwa ngokuxhaphaka ngokwesini.
Amaqhinga afanayo asetyenziswa ngabaxhasi bakaClinton kunye nentatheli exhasa uClinton ku intsimbi yokuluka Impendulo evela kwiqhawe lamalungelo oluntu kunye ne-Congressmen uJohn Lewis, owathi akazange ambone uMnu.Sanders ngexesha lombutho wamalungelo oluntu. Amagqabantshintshi aqhutywa ukucebisa ukuba uMnu Lewis ubuze ukubandakanyeka kukaMnumzana Sanders kwimibutho yamalungelo oluntu-eyayibubuxoki kwaye yayiyiyo icacisiwe kwiintsuku ezimbalwa kamva nguMnu Lewis. Kungekudala emva koko, enye intatheli yathatha ukucaphula Ukusuka kumxhasi weSanders rapper Killer Mike, kwaye wayisebenzisa ngobuqili ukuba ibonakale ngokungathi uKiller Mike wenza intetho yesini. I-rapper yayicaphula nje a incoko Wayenomzabalazo wobufazi uJane Elliot.
Olu hlobo lokuxhaphaza olusasazwayo luxhasa uNks uClinton ngendleko zikaMnumzana uSanders aluloncedo kwi-Democratic Party. UNks.Clinton ekugqibeleni uyakudinga abaxhasi bakaMnumzana uSanders kunye nabavoti abaninzi abazimeleyo abatsala ukuba uphumelele ukutyunjwa kwaye ufuna ukuphumelela ubongameli-ngakumbi njengangoku nje. ukuvota xela kwangaphambili umgwebi we-GOP wangoku uDonald Trump woyisa uNks Clinton kunyulo jikelele. Ukwahlula amalungelo abo bavoti ngamaphulo e-smear abonisa ukuba bafuna inzuzo kwezopolitiko kunokunceda uNks.Clinton aphumelele ukutyunjwa kweDemokhrasi, kodwa kuya kuyenzakalisa yena kunye neDemocratic Party ekuhambeni kwexesha njengoko abagqatswa baka-Mongameli beRiphabhlikhi bengazithobanga kwinqanaba elinjalo ngokuchasene nabaxhasi babanye .
