How Bernie Sanders missed his chance to beat Hillary Clinton
Here's a good post-mortem
There was a time when Bernie Sanders, the stiff, white senator from Vermont, seemed painfully out of place in black churches. But not now at the end of the long primary trail, and not in Oakland, Calif., at the Allen Temple Baptist Church.
Summoning congregants last week in a historic East Oakland sanctuary that helped give rise to the civil rights movement and the Black Panther Party, he spoke passionately about the plight of many blacks: Too many children are raised in poverty, too many youths cant afford to go to college and cant find jobs, too many adults are locked in jails. The system is rigged against them, and he vowed to change it.
The audience rose in applause and affirmation. There were hurrahs and smiles and shouts of Amen! At last, Sanders had convinced African Americans that he understood their story and, at last, they seemed to understand his.
