If you're really rich and over 65, Hillary is your candidate

Interesting meme going around here for 2 weeks: Bernie doesn't appeal to blacks

Based on actual votes, not polls, Hillary has bigger issues:

Bernie won the woman vote 55%-44 (eat your heart out Madeline Albright)

Bernie took every income category at $250,000 and under; only those who made over $250K voted for Hillary

The big story all week is that Hillary doesn't appeal to young women. Bernie ran away with them.

aside: Interesting, a +21 point win only translates to a 4 delegate margin.
