Bernie's most powerful secret weapon is not Latinos

A lot of discussion circulated around the independent and the corporate media about Sanders campaign ability to approach successfully the Latino community.

Progressive reporters and journalists of The Hill's Rising show went further on the issue, claiming that the Latino vote is Bernie's secret weapon on Super Tuesday, as it has been proven to work so far in the primaries.

While, undoubtedly, the Latino vote will be crucial on the outcome of the Democratic primaries process, it is not Bernie's biggest secret weapon. Bernie has another potential secret weapon - much more powerful - that could make him sweep the primaries and even grab the number of delegates that the DNC demands. And the good news is that he is the only one who could activate it.

Right before the decisive Super Tuesday battle, two DNC agents, Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar, were ordered to withdraw their nominations in order to unify the moderate vote around the "dinosaur" Joe Biden.

The other two, Michael Bloomberg and Elizabeth Warren will remain in their positions at least for the Super Tuesday, in order to carry out their special anti-Bernie missions. The billionaire will try to slow Sanders' delegate march and the pseudo-progressive will attempt to split the progressive vote.

So now is the most suitable moment for Bernie to test his most powerful secret weapon. It is no other than the millions from the vast tank of the American working class of all colors who turned their back to the political process for years. If there is someone who can persuade them to participate now, that's Bernie Sanders. As the facade of a corrupted system starts to collapse, the civil war inside the Democratic party becomes clearly evident. And it is also clear that for the first time after decades, the working class has found an authentic political figure to restore its political power against the ultra-greedy plutocracy.

So Bernie's biggest test on Super Tuesday would be the level of the apolitical working-class mobilization that his campaign will manage to achieve.

It will be proved probably the most critical factor for the outcome of the Democratic primaries. And it will become Bernie's most valuable asset in his effort not only to win the nomination, but also to beat Trump in November's mother of all battles.
