(42,862 posts)Of course Sanders isn't electable. Our nominee will need the full support of AA Democrats, and it's abundantly clear that AA and POC aren't buying what he's selling.
I mean, seriously now... did anyone notice how lily white the turnout was in his North Charlestone, SC appearance at a BLACK CHURCH. The city itself is predominantly black, the church his historically black, and fewer than 1% of the attendees were black.
Not long after, at the same venue, an appearance by Kamala Harris had a turnout with an ethnic diversity that matched that of the city and surrounding community.
Bernie doesn't stand a chance. He knows it, we all know it. That's why he's never going to release his tax returns. Why "risk" the exposure when he's going to be mathematically eliminated so early on in the contest. It's my opinion that he'll be out of the running by Super Tuesday. (That's my hope anyway, because we can do better with real Democrats and the embarrassment of riches that we have to select from.)
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
