(6,494 posts)Besides - if I were a Hillary supporter - I would be voting for her - not slimeball David Brock (the Anita Hill smearer) or Andrew Cuomo (who in 2008 when he was also a Clinton supporter) said of Obama "shucking and jiving at a press conference" or Bill Clinton who in 2008 compared Obama's campaign to Jesse Jackson's.
And anyway I find Cornel West very interesting and entertaining and while I don't agree with everything he said about President Obama - I also campaigned (at least until he stopped fighting for the public option) and voted twice for President Obama and never gave a second thought to Rev. Wright!
Silly article Capehart. I would think more highly of the article if he said it was possible that Cornel West might keep some African Americans away from Sanders. But saying his problem with him and his outreach is West - at the same time not once mentioning Clinton and her tight relationships with Brock and Cuomo . . . just a big yawn.
