14. Turner announced that PoC were 50% of Sanders' supporters. (!)

Assuming PoC were already engaged at their prior 6% of the electorate, and 100% supported Sanders, that'd mean Sanders was drawing only 3% of the rest of the electorate.

Reality should be far less than that theoretical maximum, of course, which means his other 50% support would also be far less. If black engagement was say, 2%, and non-PoC 2%, his total following would be 4% of the electorate.

An enlightening, and shocking, admission, but presumably Turner knows what she's talking about.

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