CNN's Harry Enten: If you don't get Biden's appeal, you need to talk to older black voters.





Biden's polling in the low 60s with black voters 45 years and older. He's got a 50 point lead on the field with them. This is a group that has stuck with him all year. If you don't get Biden's appeal, you probably need to talk a lot more with this group.

This is very important. BS doesn't stand a chance with the AA and POC communities and this is why he'll lose big-time.

Remember that one time when he had a rally in North Charleston, SC? BS can't even get AA and POC to attend a rally at an historically BLACK church in a MAJORITY BLACK neighborhood, within a MAJORITY BLACK city.

His rally (although well-attended) had so LITTLE ethnic diversity that it looked like he could have been somewhere Vermont. In fact, based on the statistics, the demographics at that rally was even whiter than Vermont.

It's obvious that the AA and POC community are rejecting BS and the BS campaign. They did then, and they still do NOW. He can't make headway. He hasn't been able to refine and tune his message.

BS just doesn't connect with that community. The BS message just isn't resonating.

All I'm saying is, with such a humiliating rejection by the AA and POC communities, and without their vote, BS doesn't stand a chance of being our party's nominee. This race will be decided faster than BS anticipates.

Many Young Black Voters Are Tired Of Joe Biden Clinging To Barack Obama’s Legacy
“the only reason Biden is doing so well is because he’s safe ... we don’t need safe — we need change”
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryancbrooks/young-black-voters-joe-biden

VP's Humphrey, Mondale and Gore, chose not to run on change and failed.

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be, better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
Ooh, don't you look back

5. That's nice the younger people need "change".. we all do!

We're going to have that with Biden or any of the Democratic Candidates.

And, Biden isn't fucking "clinging" to President Obama.. he was his valued Veep for 8 years.. they became friends. Biden has an excellent legacy with the Obama Admin.

First we have to win the damn thing.
