Sanders support is MORE BALANCED across ethnic demographics than Biden's or Warren's.

[TidalWave46]

Biden:... 20% White, 39% Black, 21% Hispanic, 17% Other Ethnicity

Sanders: 14% White, 11% Black, 19% Hispanic, 17% Other Ethnicity

Warren:. 31% White, 15% Black, 17% Hispanic, 21% Other Ethnicity

Please discuss.

1. I'd rather be a little less balanced (and it is a little)

in the 20's and 30"s than more balanced in the teens!!

2. well we know he has Tulsi's support and that's what matters.

5. lol.. he seems to think so..

3. I think Bernie has a solid, relatively small, hard core group of supporters irrespective of race.

The problem is that group is too small to win.

Also it doesn't mean he is equally supported by all demographics. I think he has hit his limit with AA voters but has room to grow with white voters... as we saw in 2016.

4. A very nice sentiment. Not sure it has meaning with regard to his overall popularity or electability

It could mean his support is equally high across ethnic lines or equally low.

6. I see.

So it's in the teens in every group. I get it.

7. More balanced and much lower than the other two.

8. I personally think it's the most impressive argument I've seen...

Used to counter the overwhelming white crowds at his rally. I’m in awe.

BTW, I normally don’t breach this topic about his crowds because I personally think he has a very good message to deliver to the black community. But this argument is too good for me to pass on.

9. Well 28 Percent of Hispanics Supported Trump, So Why Not Bernie?

Given Bernie's repeated scapegoating of Mexico and his opposition to immigration reform. Even now, Bernie Sanders still echoes Republican talking points attacking Democrats for pushing open borders even though no Democratic candidate is pushing for open borders.

“Nobody, I mean not many people believe in open borders. If you simply opened the borders, you’d have people from Vietnam and China and Mexico and Latin America coming in. And no one thinks that is a plausible approach. On the other hand, I think the strength of this nation is the diversity and the new ideas from immigrants from all walks of life have given this country. So you need a rational, non-racist immigration policy which welcomes people in from all over the world to improve our economy, but clearly you cannot have open borders.”

The irony is that Sanders’ stance against “a rational, non-racist immigration policy” gets a bit lost when he also thinks that it’s a bad idea to “have people from Vietnam and China and Mexico and Latin America coming in.”
