I don't disagree with you about Bernie's fantastic support in the heartland. I think it stems from the strengths (EDIT: and consistency!) of his policies, despite the lack of attention paid by name to the largest American ethnic group. For the other candidates with weaker policies, or less name recognition, I think my point is even more important. Intersectional politics have put race at the top of everyone's mind. When a candidate mentions every race by name but yours, and when yours is facing the steepest decline in life expectancy of nearly all of them (I haven't checked, but I assume life's worse as always for American Indians), folks tend to notice.
