....I can't give that video credibility. And as we've both pointed out, he gets almost all-white crowds at his rallies even when they're in black neighborhoods and black schools.

I don't call that "connecting" with black voters. Ms. Gray certainly isn't an objective observer.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Bernie drew 10, 140 people to tonight's rally in Minneapolis ritapria Nov 2019 #4

That is wonderful! sheshe2 Nov 2019 #5

A few weeks ago he drew a virtually all-white crowd at a school that is 83% black. And then.... George II Nov 2019 #7

I did not listen to the video. sheshe2 Nov 2019 #8

Not connecting or rising. sheshe2 Nov 2019 #13

10,140 POC? Wow! That is amazing! redstateblues Nov 2019 #11

Here's a photo and video of him connecting with blacks at that rally: George II Nov 2019 #16

I think I located a couple of black folks in the larger photo The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2019 #27

I just viewed Bernie's Speech on Donkees link and one my favorite parts out of many Uncle Joe Nov 2019 #15

Me TOO! sheshe2 Nov 2019 #42

I read that recently when asked specific questions pertaining to black communities' concerns emmaverybo Nov 2019 #9

Well we saw him at "She The People" back in the spring..... George II Nov 2019 #12

Bernie was the top polling candidate ritapria Nov 2019 #17

That's where he was asked about childcare and talked healthcare for two and a half minutes emmaverybo Nov 2019 #18

Yes, that forum. I didn't see the video but heard about it - did someone explain the difference? George II Nov 2019 #20

Bernie misheard the question and still got several rounds of applause while Uncle Joe Nov 2019 #22

He "misheard" the question? George II Nov 2019 #25

I thought my statement was clear, did you misread it? Uncle Joe Nov 2019 #26

Your statement was clear, but it was incorrect.... George II Nov 2019 #29

Obviously you're not hard of hearing, look at Bernie's body language, Uncle Joe Nov 2019 #30

That's his usual posture. Watch him walking around the stage, same posture, nothing different.... George II Nov 2019 #34

No, if you view the video on your link you can see him visibly lean forward as Uncle Joe Nov 2019 #35

That's what he ALWAYS does. I can see this is going nowhere...good night. George II Nov 2019 #38

Happened at "She" too. They had to,kinda translate it for him. Could be hearing aid time. Seriously, emmaverybo Nov 2019 #28

Why doesn't Bernie get a hearing aid? TexasTowelie Nov 2019 #32

I believe he will but hearing loss can sneak up on you. I'm hard of hearing as well Uncle Joe Nov 2019 #33

So Bernie is ignoring the obvious? TexasTowelie Nov 2019 #40

Did you not read my final sentence? Uncle Joe Nov 2019 #41

Considering that one of the doubts about Bernie this primary has been about his age, TexasTowelie Nov 2019 #43

The moderator in this case was reading face down so Bernie couldn't see his lips. Uncle Joe Nov 2019 #44

I don't share your confidence. TexasTowelie Nov 2019 #45

Well everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I suppose time will be the judge. Uncle Joe Nov 2019 #46

Because he doesn't need one. George II Nov 2019 #39

What poll was that, I didn't see it. George II Nov 2019 #19

He is barely mentioned here at The Des Moines Register. sheshe2 Nov 2019 #24

Thanks for posting this sheshe2. Booker is soooo right, Sad it even has to be said. Kamala emmaverybo Nov 2019 #31

I wish they were polling better. sheshe2 Nov 2019 #36
