"Let them leave.
Even if they leave,
their votes, the votes of their unborn,
and the votes of their ancestors passed,
will all remain with me this election."

Considering how badly off the Obama years have left African-Americans, her ties to that era ought to be a minus, but a confused racial solidarity has taken Hillary from losing the black vote to becoming as dependent on black political labor as any plantation owner.

Yes, it's weird. Bill Clinton shared their culture, and Obama is their color, but Hillary?

Somebody should remind blacks that the liberals situate their abortion clinics in their neighborhoods and herd black kids into horrible union controlled urban public schools while they themselves “choose” good schools for their kids.

[Alas Babylon!]

My reply is that, No, not many of them will leave the democrat party. However, there will be much less enthusiasm in the Black community for Hillary than Obama, which will put Black votes for a democrat president back to historic levels.

And by historic levels I mean the percentage Al Gore got, John Kerry got, and Mike Dukakis got. Hell, we could even back to Mondale. In the case of these 4, it wasn’t enough. Bill Clinton got more because, as we all know, he was our very first “Black President”. Still, keep in mind that Bill Clinton never got a majority of the votes, but rather a plurality. In fact, his 43% in 1992 was the same Dukakis lost by 4 years earlier.

Incidentally, I am in Alabama. I teach adults. Most of the Blacks I know are for Hillary, but without any enthusiasm. When she was beaten by Bernie in New Hampshire, many of the Blacks were surprised. They have a kind of fatalistic, but not following the election view of Clinton that Bernie’s win really surprised them.

I see a opportunity for Trump if he wins the GOP nod, but the media will fight hard to keep Blacks on the plantation. And sorry to say, they can be easily led (queue Trump burning churches, leading lynch mobs, etc.).

I think the explanation is a lot simpler than that. What you have are two lefties doing what lefties do. They are trying to assemble enough afflicted groups together by promising them stuff.

Sanders does well with college students and the overly educated-under employed because they are betting on getting debt forgiveness. Clinton picked up Nevada because she got the unions to drag their members in to caucus for her. Old school constituency voting for the established party candidate.

It should be noted that the same unions supported Obama before. I am sure if we dig enough there would be some Clinton anti-semetic efforts against Sanders with certain constituencies, as well.

They will only leave if they’re no ways tahrd.

[Zionist Conspirator]

In identity politics, the political is tribal and personal. Policies matter less than racial allegiances.

And it's happening among conservatives too now thanks to the Trump phenomenon.

When Sanders protested that he should be allowed to disagree with Obama on occasion, black voters clearly disagreed. The black vote has been tragically distilled to personal and tribal allegiance to Obama.

One wonders why they continue to pretend to be chrstians considering their across-the-board radicalism on all issues. Have they condemned Robert Mugabe as an "uncle tom homophobe" yet???

[GOPJ]

Even as Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton fight over the black vote like two starving hounds, the outcome of that cynical competition may make the winner unelectable in the general election. And that is the problem with a political party dependent on cobbling together a coalition of minority groups with crude appeals to identity politics. Even one misstep in that identity politics juggling act may prove fatal.

Bernie won't compromise his beliefs in order to win... he's too old and set in his ways to become a typical lying lowlife democrat...

[GOPJ]

But the actual results showed that Latino Democrats like Socialism more than they cared for Bill's Evita. Diversity was no longer a bonus. Instead the wrong kind of diversity had once again become a threat to Hillary Clinton.

Trump made serious inroads with the Hispanic vote too... Wouldn't it be a hoot if blacks became the Democrat party and Hispanics came with us?
