recognize that they have literally pockets and targets of states that she's going to need. in louisiana you have a really large vietnamese population, in pennsylvania and ohio, places that people don't expect this community to make a difference, but that can put her over the top electorally. i think with the bernie sanders message of this political revolution, most folks when they hear revolution coming from immigrant communities perk up and don't want any revolution. while the younger constituency may be open to it, the parents may not be so that's why he is having a hard time navigating that. had he used different verbiage, i think he would have had a better shot. >> jose diaz-balart made that point during the nevada contest because to the ear of somebody coming from that community, revolution has a different meaning. karthick, i want to come back to you on the specific issues in play that could help either bernie sanders or hillary clinton do better because you're 14% of the vote on the table. what are some of the most important issues to asian american voters at large? >> well, some
