Bernie Sanders defeated Hillary Clinton in the New Hampshire primary election on Tuesday night — something that was unimaginable just a year ago.
But the Clinton campaign has already released a memo detailing why this loss doesn't matter, in their view. The short version: No state with a significant population of minority voters has voted yet, and the Clinton campaign expects minority voters to go in Clinton's favor. The campaign also argues that only a small number of delegates have been decided so far, and March will be a much bigger month, since far more states will vote.
Will that hold up? It's impossible to say. But here's the Clinton campaign's full memo:
Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
