Dem Strategist: Clinton Should Be In "Panic Mode" Over Enthusiasm Gap With Black Voters...
Real Clear Politics ^ | November 1, 2016 | Tim Hains

Posted on 11/01/2016 4:06:12 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Leslie Wimes, the president of the Democratic African-American women's caucus, joins MSNBC's Hallie Jackson to discuss the Clinton campaign being in "panic mode" about low voter enthusiasm in the black community.

"We love President Obama," she said. "That doesn't transfer to Hillary Clinton by osmosis."

"It's over now as far as the African-American community is concerned. She had time back then to get into the community and get people out to vote. Now, you know, the numbers are the numbers. There's nothing she can do now."

She added: "What I said before is she didn't have the luxury of being Barack Obama. We are not as enthusiastic about seeing the first woman president as we were about seeing the first African-American."(continued)

Black Neighborhood in San Antonio. In another black area, the same sign has S-H-I-T over the 4 faces.

This entire election cycle has been the elites and the left engaging in self delusion.. Living in a collective delusion.

Hillary had no shot at remotely holding Obama’s 2012 coalition... She will perform below Obama’s 2012 in every single demographic. In the meantime, R’s have had dogs/boring candidates for the last 3 cycles... Trump will easily outperform Romney in 12. He is the first R in nearly 30 years that can claim any real enthusiasm and broad support.

Hillary never ever had any shot at at this... I think honestly she will be lucky if she puts 60M votes in the box.

This thing isn’t going to be close. I believe Trump beats Hillary by a bigger margin than Obama beat McCain.

When you have a “The Hood For Trump” video on youtube I don’t think so (Shaq, p-diddy, 50 cent, etc.). They’ve just had a black POTUS for 8 years and feel worse than 8 years ago, now they’re supposed to “automatically” just vote for an old, white, establishment woman that is just pandering to them for their vote - they now see it plain as day.

Some may vote “Republican” in a FU vote, others will just stay home. I’ve been watching this for weeks. The grand billionaire appeals to them, they respect that. They just have zero enthusiasm for her. Check out “blacks for hillary” and then “blacks for Trump” on youtube, you’ll see what I mean.

I may be wrong, but after the FBI re-opened their investigation, I would think that if the Dems had any other bombs up their sleeve to drop on Trump, they would launch them immediately in order to give the media an excuse to change the subject.

I’m glad they hate Hillary, but what does that mean above? What kind of “Americans” need to be enticed to go out and vote EVERY SINGLE ELECTION?

All she needs is the precinct captains.

All she needs are thug persuaders, in berets, Black leather jacket (and brown shirts) and billy-club or brass knucks...

It's all in the Soros/Hillary battle plan (and budget.)

The black racists are upset that Hitlary didn’t campaign in blackface.

Last Saturday I voted in a predominantly black neighborhood near downtown Atlanta. I had to wait about 2 minutes to vote.

In 2008 the line to vote at the downtown Atlanta courthouse was out the door and around the block. It took me forever to vote.

...and I expect a last ditch smear attempt as their October surprise.

It's already November...

Just sayin'

Obama is NOT the first African American President.

He ranks somewhere between 3rd and 7th black, 1/2 black, or 1/4 black.

check the “I ain’t no more gonna vote for her” one to indicate that her past finally caught up to her - 19% said that which could be huge - looks like most of the respondents say they never backed her.

"We are not as enthusiastic about seeing the first woman president as we were about seeing the first African-American."

Blackness trumps womanness. Got it.
