(34,648 posts)He would have to come to them and speak with them personally. Mitt Romney had problems too, but he was the nominee and people voted for him. Black people will vote for the Democrat. But you have to make him the nominee and you cannot do that by dissing Obama or being dismissive of their world view, or attacking them with the failures of the Clintons. They like the Clintons, regardless of welfare reform and mass incarceration. You have to promote your candidate positively and he needs to connect with people emotionally. His supporters have to check each other on the pushing vital voting blocks AWAY from Bernie. He is the one that has to attract voters, Hillary just has to keep what she has, and it's Hello Madame President. I will vote for the nominee. But the person who gets the Obama coalition gets the black vote. Hillary praises the president and so do her supporters. They make black people FEEL comfortable being around them. That is how you win.
