The establishment is trying to divide the electorate along racial lines. Don't believe their lies.

The endorsement by the Congressional Black Caucus isn't surprising. The vast majority of Congressional Democrats are supporting Hillary, so why should their endorsement be any different?

But of course it will be played differently by the media establishment, the economic establishment, and the political establishment (including the union establishment). All have been compromised. Good people, too. Compromised by years of cancerous corruption by the political and economic elite to which all are ultimately beholden.

That's their game. When they can divide us, they win. We will win this together. Don't believe the lie. Everybody's congressional caucus is for Hillary right now. A few brave, courageous souls in the establishment are beginning to break away. More will follow!
