Clinton Hispanic Pollster Bendixen said Hispanic Voters Don' Like To Vote for Black Candidates!!

[Dems Will Win]

CLINTON CAMPAIGN POLLSTER SAID HISPANICS WON'T VOTE FOR BLACKS!

God, she is really using her surrogates to employ race in this campaign. It's disgusting.

Obama has an interest in downplaying his race in both states. There are lingering tensions between the Hispanic and black communities which he doesn’t want to inflame, and some residual skepticism among black voters concerning Obama’s electability among whites. Interestingly, in the final days of the New Hampshire campaign, when defeat looked certain for Clinton, it was Hillary’s aides who started talking privately about racial politics. They argued that on February 5th, when twenty-two states vote, Hillary’s fire wall would be Hispanic voters in the largest states, such as California and New York.

On the morning after Clinton’s victory, I talked to Sergio Bendixen, one of her pollsters, who specializes in the Hispanic vote. “In all honesty, the Hispanic vote is extremely important to the Clinton campaign, and the polls have shown—and today is not a great day to cite polls—that even though she was slipping with women in Iowa and blacks in South Carolina, she was not slipping with Hispanics,” he said. “The fire wall doesn’t apply now, because she is in good shape, but before last night the Hispanic vote was going to be the most important part of her fire wall on February 5th.” The implications of that strategy are not necessarily uplifting.

When I asked Bendixen about the source of Clinton’s strength in the Hispanic community, he mentioned her support for health care, and Hispanic voters’ affinity for the Clinton era. “It’s one group where going back to the past really works,” he said. “All you need to say in focus groups is ‘Let’s go back to the nineties.’ ” But he was also frank about the fact that the Clintons, long beloved in the black community, are now dependent on a less edifying political dynamic: “The Hispanic voter—and I want to say this very carefully—has not shown a lot of willingness or affinity to support black candidates.”

PLEASE RECOMMEND IF THIS PISSES YOU OFF TOO

1. LOL.

[antiimperialist]

2. It's not like he WORKS FOR HILLARY or anything n/t...

[Mojorabbit]

3. We are going to lose this election

if this stuff does not stop. It is more important to me to have a Dem win no matter who it is. I can't believe how dirty this is getting. I expect this from the other party.

[Cha]

13. Funny, I expected from the clinton's

lust for power at everyone else's expense.

[antiimperialist]

4. Here's the link to the evidence provided by Hillary's pollster

There:


Did you see it? Let me post it again:


If you can't find the link to the evidence try this alternative one:


For those using Mozilla Firefox, perhaps the webpage only works on IE. Try this one:


Now, if you are using a mac, click here:


Got it? Let me know if you are having problems accessing the evidence.


Thanks.

[2rth2pwr]

9. Are you stating that it is false? nt

[antiimperialist]

10. We can't know if it's false or true without reading the evidence I just gave you

The links are breakdowns of past elections that included an African-American vs. a White candidate.

[2rth2pwr]

5. Is it true or not? Does it matter if it's true or not? nt

[antiimperialist]

6. He provided evidence based on past elections. See post above yours n/t

[Anouka]

7. Bendixen is right. He's also right about downplaying race.

Again, racism trumps sexism.

And the world is not black versus white and should not be drawn as if it were black versus white... with all non-whites voting for all non-whites as if a cohesive unit/group/one mind.

There's a lot of old ways of thinking and old assumptions (that were faulty in the first place) that need to be swept aside.


Meanwhile, the Clintons toss out racial charges, and can sit back and watch Obama try to beat out the flames because the scorching won't touch them as much as it will hurt Obama either way.

Genius.

Don't put these two back in the White House.

[DJ13]

8. Im sure glad Hillary wants to win so bad

........that she allows her people to be assholes.

Win at any cost.

Survey Finds Friction Among Minority Groups
Despite Stereotypes and Distrust, Poll Shows Shared Values and Hope for Closing Rifts
By Pamela Constable

Relations among African Americans, Hispanics and Asian Americans are fraught with tension and negative stereotypes, but the three groups share core values and a desire to get along better, according to a poll released yesterday by the nonprofit group New America Media.

The survey found that many members of the three groups feel more comfortable doing business with whites than with members of the other groups and that an overwhelming majority of each group views racial tension as a "very important problem." ...
...Among the survey's more revealing findings was the high degree of social segregation that persists among immigrant groups as well as African Americans. A large proportion of all three groups said most of their friends are in their ethnic or racial group. Even larger percentages of Hispanics and African Americans said people in their church or school are from their group.

[antiimperialist]

14. That survey says nothing about elections

Or voting trends.

[2rth2pwr]

20. Is what he said racist? nt

[antiimperialist]

15. And all "prestigious" pollsters were wrong NH. A nice biography is not evidence n/t

[antiimperialist]

17. ..and did I mention that Bendixen works for the website that you linked with the flattering bio? n/t

I'm sure you would use the same kind words if you were trying to hype the new addition to your team.

[IndianaGreen]

12. I'll bet that Bendixen doesn't like people of mixed race, like Hugo Chavez!

which may explain why Hillary has sided so strongly with the lilly white elites of Venezuela.

[2rth2pwr]

19. Now you're just having fun. nt

[IndianaGreen]

21. I saw the video of Hillary's "Take that, Venezuela!" speech

in which she told a group of wealthy supporters last year that "we" didn't share the values of the Bolivarian revolution.

I got the message.

[aquart]

32. WOW! Obama came out for Chavez?????

I'm impressed.

[Thrill]

16. Here we go again.........A Clinton surrogate

Unreal. How they want to play

25. Which ones, dear?

The ones who don't agree with you? Did you think there was only one kind of racism? One kind of bigot?

[madrchsod]

33. exploiting these prejudices

is the standard operating procedure for those who do not want racial and economic minorities to find common ground.

it is interesting,no it`s sad, to see the creation of a divide and to what lengths some in this party are willing to exploit them.

pigs? no... pigs have value

[durrrty libby]

23. Don't give yourself a stroke now. That would be soo sad

:rofl:

[Critters2]

24. JEDNE nt

[2rth2pwr]

30. Nobody wants to play with wittle johnny?

[ZinZen]

26. He is a Clinton toadie

I live in Hispanic rich CA and will be very surprised if all the Hispanic base votes lockstep for Clinton. It will nice to see the breakdown on Feb 5th. But I will predict that the Hispanic base will either split the vote between the top three Dems or at minimum vote a little more proportionally for one candidate.

[madrchsod]

27. i just thought of this---

.."The Hispanic voter—and I want to say this very carefully—has not shown a lot of willingness or affinity to support black candidates.”

where would a latin community have a chance to vote for a black candidate?

the whole article is nauseating


to use an old phrase ---pornography of politics

[aquart]

29. In a city, congressional, or statewide election?

My what a segregated vision you have of this country.

[aquart]

28. We're not allowed to poll or discuss voting blocs?

Because Obama's too delicate for political reality?

Or because his supporters (and I say this because someone brought it up last week and I laughed) have this fantasy that all "people of color" will vote as one to sweep their hero into the presidency? The "people of color" designation is a whole world of bigotry all its own. It says there are white people, and then there are all these OTHERS.

My next door neighbors growing up were a Cuban family. They had many cousins far darker than they were. None of the darker cousins were at my neighbor's wedding. Maybe they were just busy.

There are MANY racial and ethnic divides in America and a POLITICIAN knows how to negotiate that shark tank. One way, would be to discuss the implications of it, which appears to be what Clinton staffers are now being condemned for doing. DO YOU REALLY THINK OBAMA'S PEOPLE AREN'T HAVING MEETINGS ABOUT THIS? Why do you think the Culinary Union was so important?

[Colobo]

31. My problem with the Clinton camp is they are actually

trying to ignite the already existing racism in many Latinos to get votes.

[IndianaGreen]

34. And they will do even more outrageous things

if they can gain an advantage, as the LGBT community found out the hard way.

[2rth2pwr]

35. How exactly does that work? And your saying "many" Latinos are racist?

What is this, an alternate universe?

[Colobo]

36. I am saying what I am saying.

Yes, many Latinos are racists, just like many Americans are.

[2rth2pwr]

39. From what I understand , they may be bigots but they do not have the power to be called racists. nt

[madrchsod]

38. just as "many" as any other race

[madrchsod]

37. did`t that guy just say they were throwing the black voters

under the bus? but then again i know not what i have seen nor read in my life
