Warren continues to gather support with Black voters, there is a great South Carolina poll that shows this too.

steadily. IMO, that will continue as more begin to look seriously at her as a candidate.

And said African Americans are going to sit out 2020 election is wrong.

I immediately knew he was a troll when I heard him on Stephanie Miller and The signorale show yesterday.

and that should have been an easy win for the Dems a few months ago.

So, before we chastise AA’s, can we address voter disenfranchisement and gerrymandering and set the record straight on voter turnout?

but they also just didn't show up that day
in fact it was a historically low turnout for the last special election

Our Congressional maps in NC are gerrymandered with the precision of a surgeon. That district was, and still is, about 57% GOP voters (not GOP voter ID but GOP voters). The only reasons it was close was a fantastic candidate on our side, Trump, and a scandal over votes in the first run. By no means was that ever going to be an easy win.

so they didn't get stuck with the one who committed the fraud (who also had other problems). This district was GOP since 1963. It was won by 5 or more every election from 2012 through 2016. In 2018 we lost by a handful of votes after fraud. the rematch was lost by less than 1 percent.

And if they will sit out or not.

But being a prosecutor would probably not endear her to a demographic routinely subjected to prosecutorial overreach. Also, she criticized Joe Biden's positions on race, which, as Biden is popular with African Americans, could have backfired.

Also, Quinnipiac could be really bad at sampling African Americans. I dunno.

What a humiliating number for Bernie! Looks like his heart attack, stents and clogged arteries... it making people doubt whether or not he's healthy enough to serve in the high-stress job of POTUS.

I'll be honest with you, I've had my doubts as well.

plus your post is kind of ghoulish.

And my or your fave candidate could be tapped as vp or a cabinet slot. BS won't be, will he?

"Ghoulish?" Bwaa ha ha ha! Happy Halloween!

if another white male wins. As aggravating as it is to me, being gay isn't considered enough for him to be considered a minority.

Mahalo, Kasper!

American community?

I can't believe he did that. Or, more accurately, I should say... I can't believe that anyone thought it wouldn't make a difference. It's plain to see that the BS campaign is already struggling in getting any meaningful support from the AA (and POC) community and the "smart money" would have placed a bet on the candidate AT LEAST making an effort. But, I guess the pundits and others are correct when they say that the BS campaign has just "written off" the support of the AA and POC communities.

All I'm saying is that it was a mistake. He really needs the help. It was another opportunity that slipped through his fingers. At this rate, it's becoming clearer and clearer that BS won't be our party's nominee.

he may as well give it up once the word gets out. How dumb can you get not to go to that funeral when you're already lagging in the crucial African American vote.

Why does that campaign, going back to 2016, not get you don't win the Dem nod without a large portion of the black vote?

Guess they have to learn that again like they did in 2016.

a great deal of credit for being Obama's VP and name recognition.

All these candidates have introduced themselves to the country via ads, debates and interviews. There's no mystery about Biden's strong support within the African American community. He's been there, on the ground working in the civil rights arena and nurturing relationships and associations for years and years. Who are you going to trust more--the guy who has lived on the block for decades, worked shoulder-to-shoulder with you or someone who just helicoptered in saying they're on your side, even though they have little evidence to offer?

Carol Moseley Braun wrote a glowing endorsement for Joe Biden just the other day. Why? Because she worked with him for years while she was in the Senate working on common interest issues. Biden's numbers are high in South Carolina. Why? Because he has decades of associations in the state, has developed and nurtured long-term friendships with politicians and citizens alike. And yes, he was Barack Obama's Veep, established a strong connection to the man and the family and has always been a strong advocate of the Obama Administration. People remember things like that.

Biden's strength is more than simple name recognition. He is a pragmatic liberal who appeals to those of us in the moderately liberal to moderate camp of the Party. And that swath of the Democratic Party? Despite all the bellowing, that slightly liberal to moderate highway represents the majority of our electorate, POC and whites alike.

So does the Quinnipiac poll surprise me? No, it does not.
