I'm at a @AbdulElSayed for #MIgov rally featuring @Ocasio2018 in #Flint. Pretty big crowd but interesting that in a city that's 57% black, the crowd is, I say, more than 80% white. Not sure what that says about far-left progressive politics. OH! And @daveweigel's here, too.

1. In Flint No Less

looks like the base barely showed up

2. Who's base?

This crowd looks just like the one that showed up for AOC and Cori Bush in St. Louis.

[Me.]

3. The Dem's Base

the 95% of African American women and others who are our reliable voters and are becoming recognized as such.

5. I don't think that's part of Abdul's base.

7. Exactly My Point

4. Probably means one of two things.

Either: 1. The base isn't particularly interested in this, or

2. Republicans are slowly losing the white vote...which would be completely devastating because it's the only demographic they have left.

Could be both as well.

6. The primary isn't done yet so likely Option One.

8. Not a good sign to not be in tune with the rest of the party.
