Clinton is no doubt aware of her experience and connections appealing to black, Latino and Asian voters and Sanders weakness in those areas.  Sanders is just uncomfortable and inexperienced at making identity politics appeals.  In minority political circles he's virtually unknown.  There's nothing wrong with that and much to admire about his run.  And the fact he's far ahead of O'Malley is notable.  But we should have no illusions about the limitations of his candidacy.  All Democrats know what happens when we fail to turn out minority voters.
