... of AAs and minorities. I guess they just aren't getting the message that people here are pushing.

Do you think it's because they're low-info voters? Do you think it's because they don't know what's "best for them"?

Is it because they see Hillary's name and say, "Hey, I recognize that name, so I'm going to support her even though I don't know anything about her?"

Maybe they don't read newspapers, or watch the news on TV or listen to it on the radio? Maybe it's because they JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND what a terrible person she's been?

What's your theory as to why the people who are most directly and profoundly affected by the policies of the POTUS are overwhelmingly anxious to see to it that Hillary IS the next POTUS?

I'd be interested in your views as to why that is.
