Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley Failed Their #BlackLivesMatter Test

[Sancho]

11. Hillary's "fail" didn't cost her as much...

because she was in a Black church talking to a black congregation. She had just come from Charleston after being on the road with the late Reverend Pinkney.

Hillary may not be able to get out the black vote like Obama obviously did, but she realized decades ago that the only way to make your case is face-to-face.

Those minorities appreciate the small groups. The appreciate the Clinton Foundation work. They are thrilled that the Clinton's work is not just in Congress, but also extends outside of government.

Say what you want, but that's why Hillary has done well in minority and immigrant and women's polls. It's years of work beyond the speeches on TV. Because of that, she gets a pass when she makes a mistake, and she get respect on the topic os social justice.

In fact, in a general election that is what puts Hillary way above most other candidates. She can walk in to a black church, an international head of state, or a Wall Street board meeting and be recognized as a player. That is an amazing set of skills and experience.
