Overwhelming support from black voters is said to be Hillary Clinton's "firewall" against the possibility of Bernie Sanders victories in Iowa and New Hampshire. It's the reason that she's likely to build a delegate lead by winning primaries across the South in late February and early March. As Slate's Jamelle Bouie wrote last week, Clinton's advantage in this area has been built through decades of appearances and face-to-face conversations with voters and influential figures at "black civic and community organizations, from church networks to civil rights groups."

Remember, Clinton’s firewall consists of SC black Dems who voted overwhelming for ...Alvin Green..

Does that women on the bottom-left have a pancake on her head?
That's a cigar holder.
At Christmas one of my cousins (White girl in college, natrually) seemed keen on the idea of Sanders. I didn’t ask her about it.
Best case for us, he gives Hilly a good fight and his supporters are embittered when he loses and don’t turnout in November. ;D
I believe he’s promised not to run 3rd party, if he did he’d either die in a small plane crash, get accused of rape, get accused of smoking crack, or get accused of saying the N-word once 30 years ago.
