COLUMBIA, S.C. — Von Miller knows that Joe Biden is counting on folks like him, a black Democratic voter in South Carolina, to help salvage his presidential campaign after crushing defeats in Iowa and New Hampshire. Yet Miller still can’t decide whether the former vice president has earned his vote.
The 45-year-old middle school teacher in Columbia said he values Biden’s decades of experience in Washington and thinks he has the clout to push his policies through Congress. But Miller cannot shake the feeling that Biden lacks the oomph to beat President Trump and that he’s coasting on the coattails of his relationship with former President Obama.

“I just need to see him hustle a bit more,” Miller said. “The message seems to be, ‘I’m Joe Biden. I know you’re going to vote for me.’ It’s almost like just because he was Barack’s old running mate, he assumes he’s got the black vote in the bag.” Miller is also considering voting for Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind.
That’s bad news for Biden, who rushed here Tuesday night before the results from New Hampshire were all in. He now counts on an overwhelming victory in South Carolina’s Feb. 29 primary to dispel the narrative that he is doomed.

that would be a hard no...
Corn Pop to the rescue!
If not Biden, who will the Black peoples vote for? Will they just sit home on election day?
Von Miller “educator”
Some people never learn

This has been the overall message of Democrats for decades, that they just expect to harvest 90% or more of the black vote, for all offices, from president down to local city council elections.
I hope not, BERNIE, BERNIE, BERNIE!
I want the House back and nobody makes it easier than Bernie to bern the Democrat party to the ground.
Well it seems like it's time for Blacks to prove Charles Murray wrong, clearly Trump has done more for Blacks that any Democrat.
“The 45-year-old middle school teacher in Columbia...”
LOL LOL LOL!
Hmm... the old white guy, the old white woman, the white faggot or the young white woman...hmm,..
Under Donald Trump:
- Job growth has slowed
- Manufacturing is worse off
- Income inequality is higher than ever
He is squandering the growing Obama-Biden economy that he inherited — just like he has squandered everything else that he has inherited in his life.— Joe Biden (Text Join to 30330) (@JoeBiden) February 12, 2020

They expect it because they get it, even for marginally retarded candidates like Marxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, Hank Johnson, Cynthia McKinney, and others even worse.
I hope he comes up with more stuff like lying dog faced pony soldier.
I wonder how many folks will vote for Mayor Pete because they’d like a little gay sex?
Maybe just a Zima or a pat on the ass with a wink?
What’s ironic is that Rs think the same thing of middle aged white males pretty much.
Not at the 90 percent level but they have taken us for granted.
Voting for Trump is the only presidential vote that I’ve ever cast (too young for Reagan) that I don’t regret, at least to some degree.
Of course voting for dem was never an option.
But it was still taken for granted. And what I WANTED from them (what many of us wanted) was never delivered.
Until now.
Blacks weren’t the only suckers. I was too.
LOL
I know you didn’t really mean that.
But Miller cannot shake the feeling that Biden lacks the oomph to beat President Trump and that he’s coasting on the coattails of his relationship with former President Obama.
..... I know you’re going to vote for me.’ It’s almost like just because he was Barack’s old running mate, he assumes he’s got the black vote in the bag.”
