@jbouie While Clintons worked to regain Black trust by supporting POTUS, Sanders called for primary & elevated Black Obama-bashers as VIPs.

Sanders needs to ask McAuliffe how he even had a sniffing chance of becoming governor of VA. Black Democratic women voters put him in office

The continuous dismissal of Black voters is what irks a lot of people about Sanders. A base the Democratic party needs on every level.

Ugh.

To have a Democratic candidate for POTUS so casually dismiss a voting group that shows up for the party every time is infuriating.

Great, great tweets, Nerdy Wonka! I am so sick of Bernie Sanders’ disrespect of Black people. He thinks that winning in the predominantly white Red States like Kansas, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Nebraska, Alaska and Oklahoma, is more important than winning in the South where Black people are are the base of the Democratic Party! In 2008, President Obama won three Southern States: Florida, North Carolina and Virginia. In 2012, President Obama won both Florida and Virginia and narrowly lost North Carolina. Since LBJ, I can’t recall any Democratic Presidential Candidate who won Kansas, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Nebraska, Alaska and Oklahoma.
