Confirmed what? That through the first 3 states, HRC has won the AA vote 75% to 25%? hoosierlib Feb 2016 #80

Your words confirmed what others have noticed about the Sanders' campaign R B Garr Feb 2016 #99

Yeap, this person either has enough minerals to say what SBS camp doesn't BUT has indicated through uponit7771 Feb 2016 #107

Exactly, and people got their posts hidden for simply expressing what they observed from Sanders R B Garr Feb 2016 #120

So you want Trump in white house. Cobalt Violet Feb 2016 #143

Curious... was HRC feverishly campaigning in New Hampshire thru primary day? ALBliberal Feb 2016 #115

I'm pretty sure the GOP is the party of the "white vote"....? In fact, the whole history of this R B Garr Feb 2016 #116

No, the thing you seem to miss is that even if he won after getting <25% of the AA vote Kentonio Feb 2016 #142

The AA *vote* matters less--for anyone--after Super Tuesday, and by that I mean... thesquanderer Feb 2016 #81

Exactly and much more eloquently put...it's not from lack of trying...it's from lack of time... hoosierlib Feb 2016 #85

Sanders himself has had some interesting quotes as to who he is targeting for his campaign, but R B Garr Feb 2016 #103

Really? Well, post it in the Hillary group, it won't get hidden there unless it flatters him! (n/t) thesquanderer Feb 2016 #104

Well that makes me sad. HerbChestnut Feb 2016 #12

I try to say nothing because I am not impartial bravenak Feb 2016 #15

You can still at least talk about Bernie's positions on the issues HerbChestnut Feb 2016 #19

His positions are firm and unyielding bravenak Feb 2016 #26

To delve too deep is to leave yourself constrained without room to grow HerbChestnut Feb 2016 #44

This is his first national run bravenak Feb 2016 #46

I've heard that reasoning before HerbChestnut Feb 2016 #63

Nothing there have been 3 states that voted rbrnmw Feb 2016 #70
