Bernie can beat any Republican while Hillary can't. So...African-Americans - who, by huge margins, support Hillary Clinton and NOT Bernie - are somehow nonexistent in those polls? How do they make that claim when Hillary is 2.5 million votes ahead of Bernie in the popular vote and nearly 1 million ahead of Trump??

The math just doesn't add up for Jeff ~~Weasel~~ Weaver, to make that claim. It's outrageous and ridiculous. Yet I heard him repeat it on the Halperin and Heilemann show this afternoon, and he did it with a straight face, too, although you could see Halperin look doubtfully.
