the blacks went to the polls in droves for obama.. and as much as i cant stand him, he has a charisma that fools them .. bernie has no charisma.. only freebies.. and a pointing finger that wags with every angry word.
Plus, white liberals are the *least* charitable people ever placed on this earth. They are all for giving people other people’s money, but they are completely selfish. The idea that they would voluntarily subject themselves to the kinds of punitive taxation and job-killing proposals that Sanders advocated is utterly preposterous (and yes, these are generally intelligent enough people to understand the implications of Sanders’ rhetoric, and they make enough to be absolutely crushed by what he is advocating).
Forget what they say publicly. Put them into a voting booth with no-one looking (and no peers to witness their courageous virtue) and there is no way on God’s green earth that they are pulling the lever for Sanders in the percentages they need to in order to make this election competitive. Not a chance.
Sanders may get 60% turnout out of working Democrats (which is the majority of Democrats). But he is not getting the 90+% he would need.
I could not stand the phony charisma of either Bill Clinton or Obama, but people fall for that in droves. I’m always amazed at how people fall for that and mistake that for leadership.
You are right about Sanders having no charisma. He is the quintessential old fart screeching at the youngsters...but they are lapping it up.
