182. I thought your post was about POC.

Are we now headed down a different rabbit hole? If not, Bernie has survived so far with the majority of POC supporting Hillary. However, much of that support comes from her "Firewall" states that historically vote Republican. So to answer your original OP, yes. Bernie may be able to win without their votes. But we'll see how it plays out as we move forward.
