Black Views Vegas

The often-quotable Conrad Black writes about the recent Las Vegas Democrat ‘debate’ for American Greatness. See his summation.
Trump pulled between 5 million and 25 million viewers every week for 14 years and has commanded a huge following as president. None of these Democrats is a star — Bloomberg was supposed to be a star but didn’t look like one on Wednesday night. None of them excites anyone, except Sanders, who frightens twice as many people as he enlists.
Buried in that summation is Black’s implicit projection of what percentage of Nevada Democrats will choose Sanders - no more than 34%. By this time tomorrow we should know if Black guessed right or engaged in hyperbole.
