69. You're playing games with the defintion of "coalition"

But it's a game, it's not the standard defintion of "coalition," and you know exactly what I mean. Polls show that majority of women, and a majority of people of color, are going to vote for Clinton. I am a woman who is not part of that voting block, but I still recognize it exists. Pretending it isn't there isn't helping you or Sanders.
