Black Women Rally Behind Hillary Clinton

http://www.wsj.com/articles/black-women-rally-behind-hillary-clinton-

Overwhelming support from voters and officeholders has propelled the Democratic front-runner



"A woman who lost the nomination to the first African-American president is going to win the nomination because of African-Americans,” said Bill McInturff, a Republican pollster.

No group has rallied behind Mrs. Clinton as decisively as women of color, and their expanding roles in politics—as voters, officeholders and activists—has lifted her campaign in multiple ways.

Exit polls show turnout by black women in Democratic primaries is significantly higher than turnout by black men, in several cases more than double. And black women have overwhelmingly supported the former senator and secretary of state over rival Bernie Sanders—with 90% or more of them voting for her in some states. In New York, she took 79% of their votes on her way to an easy victory, the exit polls show.

I LOVE these women who have all walked the walk - and more!

Female voters, later I ask a friend "what is going on" and was told they are tired of the crap going on and Republican sponsored laws. I have been excited and when I hear more numbers reported this is exactly who will lead the way back to sanity. It's the numbers and commitment.

There is no doubt about it. They are the most loyal and engaged. I am so happy to see that Hillary Clinton resonates with them so much. It shows my belief in Secretary Clinton is not wrong.

deserves great exposure, so the more OPs about it, the better, IMO.

For the most part, I only post OPs in the HRC Group these days, although I LOVE the AA Forum too. IMO, the BEST of DU can be found in these two subgroups. The Lounge is occasionally good for a chuckle.

I have so many people on Ignore these days that when I do open an occasional GD or Good Reads OP, I generally see fewer than 10 replies even though there may be several others listed. The ones I see are generally the most worthwhile in any event.

I am so thoroughly sick and disgusted by the posts of so many on DU these days. I had respected many of these posters - even admired some for years - up until this primary season. Life is too short to read their hateful bile on a Democratic website.

Some may return to sanity. Those who don't are no loss, IMO.
