The day after he’s expected to wallop Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire's primary, Bernie Sanders will get to work on tearing down her so-called South Carolina firewall.
His first stop on that mission? Breakfast in Harlem with Rev. Al Sharpton.
In recent weeks, the Sanders campaign has been touting endorsements from key African-American leaders—including Ohio State Sen. Nina Turner, ex-NAACP president Ben Jealous and rapper Killer Mike, who has become one of his strongest surrogates with young black voters. Meanwhile, Clinton has rolled out an impressive list of prominent black pastors—all of whom are veterans of the Obama coalition and have a demonstrated record of turning out votes come Election Day.
Clinton has a comfortable lead among black voters in South Carolina, where, according to recent polls, she commands four out of every five votes. (Notably, she will pre-tape an interview with Sharpton tomorrow that will air on MSNBC this weekend.)
However, by meeting with Sharpton at Sylvia's Restaurant—the very place then-Sen. Barack Obama sat down with the preacher in 2008—Sanders is sending a message to Clinton forces: Don't sleep.

Thanks for posting. Too many people need to wake and realize who Donald Trump really is.
He knows that Hillary will double the offer.
If rapper Killer Mike is backing Sanders, then its time for the other candidates toss in the towel.
Clinton has a comfortable lead among black voters in South Carolina, where, according to recent polls, she commands four out of every five votes.
Or in other words, TWENTY PERCENT of black voters will
vote for someone else...
Good point...
Sharpton can play them against each-other...
Hillary has way deeper pockets than Bernie...
The only thing I can say positive about Bernie is most of his campaign money is honestly gotten....
Given by dummies
Unlike Sharpton, roosters serve a useful purpose in the natural order.
OMG Bernie and Small Head huddling together. Right before dinner - ugh.
YOU LOSE, GOOD DAY SIR.
Normally, I don’t give a damn about what Sharpton thinks about anything, but I would love to see him endorse Bernie because it would drive Hillary absolutely nuts.
Not in Democrat primary season; it is a requirement. Regardless of how the investigation shakes out, Hillary has clearly broken the law; she herself is a “known criminal” regardless of how she explains it away (or dodges prosecution).
Because what is left of the Democratic Party is “preferred minorities” (blacks, Hispanic, women) and sexual deviants - and there were enough of them to drag Obama across the finish line in 2012.
Regardless of how Sanders does beyond New Hampshire, it is disturbing to see any enthusiasm for him at all; both he and Hillary have made it clear they adore Obama (at least publicly), and there seems to be a large number of libs that feel Obama didn’t GO FAR ENOUGH to the left. Sanders’ supporters really seem to want to carry the Bolshevik Revolution of 2008 even further...
Exactly.
Al is Donald’s boyfriend.
Great! Huddle in hell, you rats!
Tree in the forest question. If a vice president gets assassinated, would anybody notice?
Trump wasn’t in elective office when he met with Sharpton and Jackson.
I wasn’t of voting age when the tawana brawly thing happened either. But I knew scum when I saw it.
A great picture of both Sharpton and Sanders. Both ‘Rhode Island REDS” no matter where they live.
To #27. Old Al goes wherever the “free buffet” is at!
Perhaps they’ll elope.
maybe he can invite beyonce too...Bernie/Panthers ‘16!
