I guess he wants to concentrate on the white working class states.

Jury: I heard this on MSNBC and today is Super Tuesday so these conversations about voting demographics are going on everywhere and are not an inflammatory personal opinion but rather reporting on campaign logistics. Thank you.

Just shows that you are trolling.

Also white working class is Hillary's recycled talking points used against Obama.

you are paying attention. Of course, if I said YOU were trolling, my post would be hidden. Jury: I'm only talking about trolling in response to this post. Thank you.

And the fact that you attack me personally is why I wrote a note to the jury. It's prevalent that Hillary supporters are hidden here for repeating factual and true statements. All the time.

and that's been widely reported. Voting demographics are a widely discussed subject, especially on a day where people are actually voting.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

calling a DU poster a troll is bad form

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Mar 1, 2016, 07:04 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Poster IS trolling. Good luck with your alert stalking.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Nope.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Calling DUer a troll IS bad form, even though trolling is done every day, and with impunity, in the Gungeon. So, It is hard to take seriously someone's actual "charge"'of trolling, given DU's customary and de facto practices.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alerter is the troll.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

You bend it any way you can to belittle him as "a quitter", but will be demanding he quit the race after today.

the South as reported on the TV box for at least a couple days now. So his strategy doesn't really match up with the OP.

You really have to stretch to come to a conclusion that Bernie was being "belittled" because his own campaign strategy is being repeated almost verbatim. Ridiculous.

That wasn't what the OP was about. I take it you aren't watching up-to-date coverage on MSNBC. Whatever you are watching, enjoy!

Not, mind you, that I think Hillary's support for black America is fake. Not at all. I just think it's yet another constituency she'd sacrifice for political expediency. I think that's precisely what we'll see if she wins the nomination: she'll swing back to the right so fast it will make your head spin, and we won't be hearing much about either progressive or black issues.
