LAS VEGAS _ Ulises Romero likes what Bernie Sanders says about immigration, health care, and the "school-to-prison pipeline" that has put his former classmates in jail.
But ask the 18-year-old Latino student directly why he's a loyal Sanders supporter, and he recounts how the presidential candidate reacts when regular people hug him.
At a rally over the weekend, Sanders marched shoulder-to-shoulder with hundreds of Latino voters, most of them eager to offer a handshake or embrace of the Vermont senator. Most candidates would recoil at the close physical contact, in Romero's view, but Sanders _ smiling and eager to hug back _ looked comfortable.
