28. I want any Dem to win over any Repub

But I hope Sanders and his supporters are more empathetic with black voters in the future because without black voters turning out for the Dems in the general election, the Dems will lose

To be honest, when Sanders said that Obama lost touch with the grass roots, my first thought was that Sanders was losing touch with black voters. Obama is the first black president; he has accomplished more than most presidents against much greater odds than other presidents. After all, the Republicans decided from the very first that their goal was not to do what was best for the country, but to defeat Obama in a second term.

I think many of us Dems wondered why Sanders was attacking Obama and not the Repubs. It sounded as though he was disrespecting our black President to me.

Bottom line: If a Dem wants to win a general election, he/she should attack Repubs, not Dems.
