Bernie isn't producing the the hordes of new voters he always promises. that means we have to turn our traditional base in droves. He's got to talk about how he does that. We absolutely LOSE if we don't have strong turnout among black Americans!

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