Here it is Demsrule. It is way at the bottom in the detailed summary of the report.

All that I am saying is that Connor Lamb won by 0.3%. Imagine there is a house district where we would have won if we had 90% of the African American vote, but the GOP carries 15% and we lose by 0.3% or more.

All that I am saying is that I would hate for Mccaskill or Nelson to lose or candidates like Connor Lamb to lose because we didn`t have aggressive enough outreach to convince AA`s to stick with us.

I am dreaming of a 80+ seat pick-up in November and the Cook political PVI says we can do it. To get those 80 seats, we need the base, which the African American community is such a strong constituency in, to turn out like they never turned out before. We need close to President Obama level turnout.

If I am a Democratic candidate, all I am saying, is that I damn well will be tailoring my policies so that they appeal to a large segment of what I consider and hope to be my base.

I also do not want Trumpism to make any inroads in the AA community because it would be a tragedy.

As far as Kayne, ARI`s segment got me thinking if any other AAs think like Kanye does, and it does seem like not an insubstantial minority may.

All I am saying is please the base, keep them energized, keep them motivated, keep them with you! With us!

Edit: I hope I don`t sound patronizing. All I am saying is that Cadet is keeping his base with him. That is all that he has, but at least the base isnt fleeing him. We should be aggressively promoting policies that keep our base with us too.

Here's a suggestion-Get President Obama out there like he is campaigning for re-election NewsCenter28 Apr 2018 #13
I doubt he would do it, from what I can see there is an unwritten rule about ex-POTUS's Exotica Apr 2018 #15

President Obama won't do that...he can campaign but not attack Trump...it would backfire. Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #18
