The Black-Latino Split

You want to know why Clinton is suddenly talking guacamole and chips? One of her pollsters, Sergio Bendixen, tells Ryan Lizza:

"Hillary’s fire wall would be Hispanic voters in the largest states, such as California and New York. It's one group where going back to the past really works. All you need to say in focus groups is 'Let's go back to the nineties.'... The Hispanic voterand I want to say this very carefullyhas not shown a lot of willingness or affinity to support black candidates."

So Clinton may now find herself pivoting her campaign on Latino racism. Lovely.
