Give credit where credit is due.
Trying to spin this into a negative would be a sign of desperation.

(67,782 posts)Plus, this is according to the Sanders National Press Secretary who has been known to stretch the truth on twitter.

(5,376 posts)Not a good look.
So, we should ignore the votes of 18,000 minority voters?
That would seem.... well... desperate.

George II
(67,782 posts)Let's see how he fares in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, etc.
"briebriejoy" (Sanders' National Press Secretary) is attempting to misrepresent Sanders' support among minority voters (and discounting the voice of minority voters supporting other candidates).
THAT is....well....desperate on the part of Sanders' National Press Secretary.

(68,595 posts)doesn't make you are racist' . Yes it does and most if not all White voters who voted for Trump are racist. But whatever...Iowa though is 4% AA- and no way to tell who got the tiny AA vote...and I don't believe Sanders will be the nominee based on his tiny amount of AA support ...nor should he. You are not being erased...it is just that there are very few AA voters who feel as you do...according to the most recent polls which were devastating for Sanders.

(32,640 posts)Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Speaking of absence of evidence... caucuses don't track ethnicity. So isn't quoting stats on the ethicity of the vote a 'falsehood?"

(11,330 posts)so I call BS on BS claim.
The best you can say is that individual precincts with majority, minority people voted for Bernie. Which is not at all the same as saying that he won 45% of minorities.

(5,376 posts)So I imagine that number is obtained as it is usually obtained everywhere else, probably exit polls.

2. And exactly how big *IS* Iowa's nonwhite population? Enough to fill a baseball stadium?

(22,877 posts)IS AGAINST THE LAW! where did this person come up with that?
This is where the Bernie crew lose me.. This is something Trump would do..
Exit polling who? Hmmmm no exit polling where I was, and the Bernie crew left in mass a hour earlier than anyone else. They did not stay to caucus. I mean that is okay, but even the Precinct Captains did not stay to gather votes.. Very Odd behavior

(146,317 posts)She's proud of that. So, who cares what she has to say? I mean, really...
If Bernie isn't the nominee, who do you think Briahna will vote for in 2020?
Every time you post some lame tweet from that person, the same question applies. She is not a Democrat. I don't care what she says. Why do you?

(3,855 posts)That is why the accusation Sanders only appeals to white guys is so vexing.
Every Person of Color I talked too in Iowa who was going to caucus said they strongly supported Sanders.
