One thing is clear: Bernie made serious inroads with Latino voters despite her slimy surrogate attacks casting him as a xenophobic. And those Brockishly foul attacks started months ago.

In.any case, there's fuck all in the way of evidence for your theory.

Since you said it, why don't you tell us how many Republicans re-reg'd for the caucuses? and which way they voted.

who hate her enough to allegedly do this, all vote against her and the democrats who also do not care for her stay home.

She is unelectable. All the republicans hate her and more than a few of the democrats.

she expressed her real foreign policy by voting with Bush/Cheney to attack Iraq. No, I'll got to the polls and write in Bernie Sanders name if Clinton and the DNC continue this dirty campaign as was seen in Vegas.

It's far more likely that independents registering as Democrats to vote for Sanders played more of a factor than Republicans doing so. (Her net favorability among independents, per recent polling? Something like -30.)

The casino owners in Vegas love her as much as the ones running our banks:

A week before the Nevada caucuses, as new polls showed Senator Bernie Sanders’ support in the state surging, Mr. Reid made a call to the head of Nevada’s most powerful union—the Culinary Workers Union in Las Vegas, which did not plan on engaging in the caucuses—and influenced the union’s decision. Mr. Reid also made calls to casino executives along the Las Vegas strip to ensure casino workers were given time off to join the caucuses on the strip, which was predicted to be Ms. Clinton’s stronghold in the state. Mr. Reid’s gamble paid off, with all six casino caucuses favoring Ms. Clinton over Mr. Sanders by 109 to 52.

While some GOP knuckleheads showed up, I doubt their numbers were enough to effect anything.
