Atlanta's Killer Mike Just Helped Bernie Sanders Win the White House in 2016 [View all]

[Bubzer]

The Clinton campaign's worst nightmare is coming true. Watching Run the Jewels' rapper Killer Mike introduce Bernie Sanders in Atlanta was one of the most powerful and inspiring moments of this election. Shattering the notion that Sanders only appeals to white liberals, The Huffington Post writes that "Killer Mike cited Sanders' stance on the Voting Rights Act, health care, education and ending the war on drugs" as reasons to vote for Bernie Sanders. Everyone from Rolling Stone to POLITICO wrote about the event, including a video in The Washington Post titled Killer Mike calls Bernie Sanders 'the next president of the United States.'

In fact, Killer Mike's words will eventually be deemed prescient, since he just won Bernie Sanders the White House. I explained in July how his advocacy of Sanders spelled trouble for Clinton, however this time it's different. At this crucial juncture, when polls are being conducted specifically for Hillary Clinton's campaign (The Hill writes that "Clinton won the debate, Public Policy Polling (PPP) found in its survey, conducted for the pro-Clinton super-PAC Correct The Record&quot , Killer Mike wasn't paid by a super-Pac.

He's not a part of the DNC and isn't planning on making the next debate scheduled on a Sunday at 4:30 am in the morning. No, Killer Mike doesn't fear the political revolution that the Democratic establishment so desperately is trying to stop; even pushing Joe Biden to run didn't work.

What Killer Mike did was help usher a new paradigm of political consciousness among all Americans, and especially the same voting demographic that Clinton supporters have gleefully placed within a poll number. Ironically, not only do poll numbers change rapidly, but human beings change their views on whom to vote for, and this change is dependent upon a number of factors that poll numbers don't reflect.
