can win the nomination without a sizable proportion of the black vote.
Whenever I hammer this point, it seems to fall on deaf ears for some on the Sanders side.
They seem to think it's an exaggeration or a joke. In fact, their arrogance grows.
But however they feel, facts are facts:
No Democratic Party candidate can win the nomination without a SIZABLE proportion of the black electorate. That is just the truth.
Now, more bad news for the Sanders campaign unless he makes inroads:
The Hispanic vote is also very important. And the Clintons have always done exceptionally well with the Latino vote.
Now, Sanders' supporters can ridicule POC all they want, but if they were smart, they'd spend less time lecturing and deriding black and Hispanic voters, and much more time trying to connect with the Sanders campaign to get him to do better as far as convincing POC that he's their candidate.
