When Hillary Clinton speaks to the Trayvon Martin Foundation in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday, she will be continuing her groundwork to boost black voter turnout in Florida. Clinton will likely repeat familiar themes of importance to black voters, such as inequalities in the criminal justice system, voting rights, school segregation and gun violence, which helped her crush Bernie Sanders in the Florida primary March 15.
... A recent poll showed Clinton and Trump in a dead heat in Florida, a crucial swing state. A $1,500 minimum donation to the foundation is required to attend Saturdays dinner, which will be held at the Embassy Suites on 17th Street. Clinton will also fundraise while in South Florida.
For Clinton, ... there is no question that more black Floridians will cast ballots for her than Trump. ... The question is whether she can turn out black voters in Florida and the nation at rates similar to ... Obama. About 13 percent of Floridas voters are black... were a key to Obama winning Florida twice. In 2012, blacks voted at a higher proportion than whites nationwide and in Florida. In 2012, 93 percent of black voters cast ballots for Obama nationwide and 95 percent in Florida,... During the Democratic primary in Florida, 81 percent of blacks voted for Clinton.....
For her to draw in black voters in November, Clinton needs to continue to talk about issues of high importance in the community including affordable college education, unequal treatment in the criminal justice system and continuing Obamas domestic agenda, say black elected officials.

Will they hold the traditional ground-pounding of a white hispanic to kick off the event?
Skittles served? Purple Drank?
She ain’t no ways tired....
Just the headline made me roll my eyes... isn’t everyone tired of this sort of pandering?
Guys, follow the money. These moms or typically 100% on federal subsidies. They have no money to donate 1,500 and fly to a luxury hotel for the weekend. These indigent supporters are getting a very nice FREE vacation and someone is donating the 3-4K to make their lil trip possible.
In return, I bet these women are community activist and poll workers for the November election.
Trayvon, supporting his parents(?) more than he would have had he been alive today and not ran into Zimmerman. The word foundation sounds like a great way to make money and not have to pay taxes on it? get $100.00 claim 90% for expenses and 10% for charity? I believe it worked well for the Two Evitas, one Argentine one USA American.
I want to know, and I think I am right in suggesting All Americans want to know.....Is Hillary going down????????

by attending the meeting Hillary is shown to be a racist
Good point.
That makes sense. A lot of sense. Since Hillary is involved, though, we’ll never know, apparently.
Must give credit, though.

Really, that Foundation still exists when all facts proved the punk wrong? And Hitlary is going to meet with them? Way to bring the races together, Cankles.
