In reply to the discussion: How Bernie Lost the Black Vote Long Before Super Tuesday [View all]stupidicus
(2,570 posts)and that only Hillary lost any of the black vote that was there to be had at the beginning.
and it's gonna take more than repeating any of that garbage to alter that, nor does any of it even really impinge upon the aforementioned assertion except in a tangential way at best. It is and will remain unaddressed and unrebutted because it's the fact of the matter.
That's what so funny about "facts" like that 80% -- it's like that's a surprising result after having started this relatively short race temporally speaking a mile ahead with money, name recognition, disparities in coverage, etc, etc, etc, is something to brag about. It's kinda like Michael Jordan bragging that he dunked on Erkel, no?
In the final analysis, this is gonna be a story about the gains Bernie made in various ways, not how the 3rdwayer HC managed to keep enough people enamored long enough and in sufficient numbers to make it across the finish line.
