Considering that he can't even get AA (and other POC) to attend a rally at a BLACK church in a MAJORITY BLACK city, I think that's very revealing of why BS does well in places like IA, NH, and VT.

His rally in North Charleston, SC had so LITTLE ethnic diversity that it looked like he could have been somewhere in Vermont. In fact, based on the statistics, the demographics at that rally was even whiter than Vermont.

It's obvious that the AA and POC community are rejecting BS and the BS campaign. BS just doesn't connect with that community. The BS message just isn't resonating.

All I'm saying is, that without the AA vote, BS doesn't stand a chance. And without the "early" states of IA and NH, it's clear to me that BS would be knocked out much sooner.

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

It's a shame that Iowa and New Hampshire are the first two states to primary/caucus.... George II Apr 2019 #5

The demographics of those states certainly does NOT represent the United States, AND... NurseJackie Apr 2019 #9

Let's see how the states of NC, SC, GA, AL, MS, LA, and even FL vote. Those will be more.... George II Apr 2019 #14

NC is hardly predominately GOP dsc Apr 2019 #53

I was referring to Iowa and New Hampshire, I guess I didn't word that sentence well. Sorry. George II Apr 2019 #54

Indeed. George II Apr 2019 #15

Yes, keep plugging that 1 event over and over and maybe people will believe you. vsrazdem Apr 2019 #20

Yes, keep denying it happened exactly as I said and maybe people will believe you. NurseJackie Apr 2019 #21

I didn't deny it. It was 1 event. He has had others in SC since then where he had their support. vsrazdem Apr 2019 #22

You said "maybe people will believe you" ... meaning ME ... and insinuating that I'm lying. NurseJackie Apr 2019 #30

I'm not calling you a liar. Your description was accurate, it was just not complete. vsrazdem Apr 2019 #33

His support among the AA community and other POC is tepid and tenative, AT BEST. NurseJackie Apr 2019 #45

More than half of black voters have a favorable view of Sanders, and yes whether that transitions in vsrazdem Apr 2019 #57

Really. A lot of us in the rest of the country kind of wouldn't mind having our opinion heard ... SWBTATTReg Apr 2019 #34

Sanders won the NH primary in 2016, too, but didn't get the nomination. highplainsdem Apr 2019 #4

Even then he barely cracked 60% although NH's population fits his demographic perfectly. George II Apr 2019 #6

Good point. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #12

And Joe Biden never got the nomination artislife Apr 2019 #25

A lot of Sanders supporters do that every day BannonsLiver Apr 2019 #26

Interesting, that's a HUGE "undecided", two out of every five polled. George II Apr 2019 #40

Yes - but it's in line with common sense (& DU?) crazytown Apr 2019 #52

I honestly think polls a year ahead of time are meaningless, but it gets some excited, I guess. George II Apr 2019 #67

How about a poll one month ahead of time: crazytown Apr 2019 #68

Somebody has not been looking at the democratic primary forum header. nt Blue_true Apr 2019 #87

B rated pollster and this particular poll is worthless. BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #48

Actually the 40% is unsure crazytown Apr 2019 #55

Well, 40% did not pick a candidate BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #60

Why should a pollster include republicans in a Democratic Party primary poll. Blue_true Apr 2019 #88

Interesting looking at the data. It appears Mayor Pete is pulling support from Biden as well as Nanjeanne Apr 2019 #50

Right now, Bernie Sanders has Bettie Apr 2019 #64

So what? An all-white small state polls for all white males. brush Apr 2019 #65

This poll is totally worthless-only 9% have selected candidate and 77% have no damn clue. Gothmog Apr 2019 #73
