Patterns are important. Consistent weakness isn't a good sign.

...and I've never denied that Buttigieg has challenges going forward. But I'd rather have him winning now rather than losing.

As for AA support, Quinnipiac says that Biden has lost nearly half his AA support to Bloomberg.

trust me on that one.
I have no problem jumping ship if black folks flee Biden...none at all. I'm with black folks all the way and every day.

And I also know they ain't going to vote for Pete and Amy.... they will and have already started to go to Bloomberg as you said. I have no problem with that since that would be a fine choice to beat dump.

The inside out oreo has spoken.

given Bloomberg's history (stop and frisk, racial profiling) it looks like African-American voters think Bloomberg can beat Trump (but don't think Buttigieg with similar issues re police management while mayor can).
