78. As I posted earlier: The notion was that blacks are loyal to the Clintons. That's why they decided
it was okay to make hints about drugs and play up associations Farrakhan and ties to terrorists, etc.

The Clintons figured it would play well with a certain segment of the Democratic Party, and that black voters would come back around to Hillary in the GE. A win was worth throwing black support under a bus.

If they're going to keep using the blue-collar white voters to make the electability argument for Hillary, then does anyone believe Hillary can win by disenfranchising black voters?

This is the divisiness that has resulted from Hillary's campaign. This is the Dem primary and we have a candidate trying to link the other to terrorists. I don't care who supports Hillary, no one can tell me this crap is "just politics," and as such it should be accepted.
