We Sanders supporters need to recognize that his brand is damaged now

79. The Writer of the Roots Piece Is Showing Her Sanders Bias....

Bill Clinton is not Hillary Clinton, first things first. If this is unknown, they are two different individuals with the last name of Clinton.

Bill, the latter is a master politician. One that makes the voter believes he more than “feels their pain” and understood wherever they are coming from not matter the position.

Bill also had his faults like the 1994 Crime Bill which locked many Black Men in the community up and NAFTA which cost many in the African-American community jobs, in the manufacturing industry.

Despite his faults, Bill was still the closest to a “Black POTUS” African-Americans had until, Barack Obama.

Meanwhile, Hillary has always had issues connecting to certain individuals. From her failed effort at Healthcare reform in 1992 to 1993, to trying to have a sudo-presidency with her Husband Bill (she even demanded at one point and time an office by the Oval).

And let’s not remember (at all) her first venture at a POTUS campaign where she at one point and time, could not confirm or deny if Barack Obama was Muslim. He not, by the way - Muslim at all.

Sanders did connect with MANY Generation X African-American Women voters. Because those connections skipped right past the writer of "The Roots" piece, does not make Sanders “disconnected with Black Women” in general.

As for a Campaign for Sanders — 2020 —first, it’s HIGHLY doubtful due to his age at that time, alone.

However, any candidate in 2020 for the Democrats that decide to dismiss Sanders supporters, would do so at their own peril. Let’s hope any Candidate serious about their race in 2020 to defeat Trump or Pence or Ryan or whatever Republican might be in the seat of POTUS - don’t like Hillary did — sideline Sanders supporters.
