1. really????

I wonder why he isn't helping???

[bravenak]

3. Me too I thought he'd get the black vote for Bernie

[George II]

10. .

[rbrnmw]

11. yeah he was so nice to President Obama and everything

[bravenak]

41. Yes. Used kind words to describe him

[rbrnmw]

43. wasn't that extra special sweet of him

[bravenak]

44. Hella classy

[Kalidurga]

2. I don't either

and I don't think that he's courting the black vote. He is after liberals of whatever race.

[bravenak]

4. Good luck

[Kalidurga]

12. Cornel West isn't my problem

[uponit7771]

38. hes SBS problem though

[Kalidurga]

93. I don't think he is a problem.

But, if he is then his is Bernie's problem. My guess is young people like him well enough.

[uponit7771]

95. Young white people, young black people don't take to Obama being called some form of the n-word

[Chitown Kev]

96. I think that Sanders used West effectively in Iowa

[giftedgirl77]

5. Nope, but the white folks think he is....

& that's all that matters.

[bravenak]

6. Hee hee hee!

[NurseJackie]

99. Oopf! :-D

[SidDithers]

7. Did you see this, from yesterday?...

Cornel West to Jeb: 'You stay strong'

Cornel West, an activist and surrogate for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, bumped into Jeb Bush in South Carolina on Friday on his way to breakfast.

"We just ran into brother Jeb, and it was good to see him," West told a Mashable reporter, indicating he gave the GOP presidential candidate and former Florida governor a hug.

"I said, 'You stay strong.' God bless he and his family," West recalled.

I heard Jeb just ended his campaign.

It's the Cornel kiss of death!

Sid

[bravenak]

13. Ack! Ack ack ack!

What the Hell? Oh my god cornel. Oh oh oh. Smh

[Chitown Kev]

97. Well, at least Cornel was good for a little something

A VERY little something.

[rbrnmw]

15. thanks

[Gothmog]

40. That is very funny

[mcar]

50. "Brother Jeb!"

Excuse me while I

[JI7]

86. to be fair he uses that term on just about everyone

[Starry Messenger]

81. Oh dear!

[ismnotwasm]

85. lmao

Too funny

[kcjohn1]

8. I hate this Meme

If that is issue its probably issue #73.

SC will provide these details as the black vote has so far being very small portion of the voters. If I were to guess its due to age gap. Right now Bernie is losing 40-50 points to voters 65+. I'm guessing good portion of the black vote is older.

[George II]

17. "Bernie is losing 40-50 points to voters 65+" - Thank goodness for the boomers....

....BOOM!

[trillion]

39. We need to educate them. This is bad. Hillary is way worse than any of us

guessed.

I didn't know how bad she was. Educate them that she seriously had her hand in destabilizing Columbia and Honduras (and admits to helping the Honduras coup) and that she also had her hand in causing the Syrian blood bath and refugee crises there. She's directly helped caused the refugee crises on both sides of the ocean.

Google it and send them links. Dems can't afford someone with this much blood on their hands.

No liberal should be voting for her.
Here's some links but a quick google and you will have your own if you google:

[bravenak]

42. How very kind of you to offer your education to unwilling students

[rbrnmw]

48. yes please educate black folks about their vote

they love that

[bravenak]

51. SMH

[rbrnmw]

58. my black knee jerk racism????

I am sorry I misunderstood but your comment wasn't called for

[ismnotwasm]

60. How was that post racist?

Curious

[Hekate]

98. And Boomers, because we are so old and feeble and shit

we just love being condescended to by people 1/3 our age.

[FrenchieCat]

55. Yes, I need educatin'.....

why thank you!

[bravenak]

59. See? My god the gall

[rbrnmw]

64. I am a black knee jerk racist wow

[bravenak]

68. Aint that some shit?

SMH. My heads gonna fall off soon from all this shaking

[dlwickham]

91. How do you deal with this crap without going postal

You are a much better person than I could ever hope to be

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. Not much of an age split in Clinton support among African Americans.

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/clinton-maintains-national-lead-over-sanders-after-n-h-loss-n519076

[kcjohn1]

29. That is one poll

I have seen several others showing Bernie winning under 45 black voters. Not as much as whites but slight lead or very close margins.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

34. It's a national survey and a Monmouth South Carolina poll found the same thing

Among white voters under the age of 50, Sanders has a small, statistically insignificant lead of
48% to 44% over Clinton, but among black voters under 50, Clinton has a sizable 60% to 26% advantage.This is only slightly smaller than Clinton’s 69% to 12% lead among black voters age 50 and older and is
actually wider than the 59% to 39% lead she holds among older white voters in South Carolina.

[bravenak]

19. Once we hit 30 or so we trend Clinton

You know. Pay insurance. Raising kids. Paying our student loans off. Many more of us voting age reliable voters are over 30. He is not speaking to us and we know it.

[PeaceNikki]

24. It's not a "meme".

[kcjohn1]

31. So in your world

You think Bernie would be doing great with black voters if he didn't have West as surrage? What was his problem when he was down 70-80 at the beginning of this process without West's support?

[PeaceNikki]

35. Nope. But it's still not a "meme,".

It's an idea, a theory, a thought, maybe even a "talking point".

[brush]

57. Ahhh . . . wrong, AAs are large percentage of the dem vote in South Carolina.

Better brush up on your research.

[PeaceNikki]

9. But is the coveted Killer Mike endorsement?

[bravenak]

14. Apparently not

BunB aint helping neither

[PeaceNikki]

76. Well there's still Beyoncé. Oh, wait, she backs Clinton.

Well maybe he can woo that cute little Bruno Mars fella.

[bravenak]

79. I said he needs to start a beef with Meek Mill

Get some street cred

[George II]

20. Ah, Killer Mike was very quiet tonight.

[FrenchieCat]

87. Didn't bring up anyone's uterus, hopefully!

[George II]

90. WAY too tempting, but I'll pass!

[Skid Rogue]

16. I love Cornel West... but that's pretty damn funny.

[bravenak]

21. I aim to please

[uponit7771]

22. lol... sigh

[bravenak]

27. I know. I'm surprised too

[ismnotwasm]

23. Sadly, no.

Didn't you try to explain that Bravenek? I thought you had, and were not listened too. It's far to late now, but it was kind of you to try.

[bravenak]

26. I mean, we ALL gave it our best shots, I cannot claim sole credit

I mean number23 even tried and she gave up on these folks before i got here

[ismnotwasm]

66. It was like watching a train wreck in slo-mo

Still is, truth to tell

[MohRokTah]

25. He has been nasty towards Obama since before the inauguration.

That may have something to do with it.

[bravenak]

28. He wanted a GOLDEN TICKET to the ball but O was a meanieface

[MohRokTah]

30. .

[JustAnotherGen]

102. And a stupid head!

[bravenak]

104. LOL,

[asuhornets]

32. West is not going to help Sanders

with the black vote because West hates Obama and it is well known among black people.

[bravenak]

37. Nobody will ever listen to us when we tell them

This has to happen like this i think. Cornel West:Not Helpful

[JRug]

33. I think Cornel West appeals more to white liberals than to Black voters

Many of my friends who also support Bernie are really excited about him but none of my black friends like him or have any respect for him. I wish Bernie hadn't gotten tied up with him because I don't think he helps him any because black voters seem to be really turned off by him and the white voters who like him are probably already going to vote for Bernie.

My two cents.

[bravenak]

36. OMG me too

I said this months ago when I was still for Bernie

[uponit7771]

56. +1

[SidDithers]

45. Bernie needs some Bruce Dixon and Glen Ford too...

That'll move SC into his column for sure!

Sid

[bravenak]

47. Tavis Smiley too?

Hell we can bring in Herman Cain too

[rbrnmw]

70. Michael Steele maybe Dr Carson

[bravenak]

74. All of them

[rbrnmw]

83. He should have gotten Harry Belafonte long ago

he is respected by most people

[FrenchieCat]

88. Oh yeah.....Tavis Corp logo Smiley.....

he knows everything!

[bravenak]

89. A regular prophet!

[mcar]

46. Don't think so

What a surprise!

[bravenak]

49. Seems like he might be running us off

[LexVegas]

52. How about Rapper Mike? nt

[bravenak]

53. Nope! Him either!!!!

[Live and Learn]

61. I don't think your posts are helping any candidate or Democrats in general. nt

[bravenak]

65. Im sure i care

[Live and Learn]

67. Did you mean you don't care? nt

[jfern]

62. Bernie won Nevada Hispanics

[bravenak]

63. ERRR! WRONG!

He lost hispanics and blacks. Entrance polls were wrong. Look for updates, kay?

[jfern]

71. I don't think they'd be off by 11 points

Also the entrance poll was polling voters. Those weren't reported. Bernie likely did better with voters than delegates.

[bravenak]

72. Try 20

She beat him by a nice percentage among latinos

[jfern]

75. That number was totally made up

[bravenak]

78. I know

Nobody knows. The exit polls are unreliable for latinos

[jfern]

82. Not really

And they correct the entrance polls. Bernie's up 8 with Hispanics.

[bravenak]

84. Lost anywayz

[bettyellen]

69. same poll had Sanders wining everyone by 8%, LOL. Nope!

they did not poll anywhere near where Hillary won- majority Latino areas.



http://www.vox.com/2016/2/20/11079660/latinos-nevada-sanders

[jfern]

73. Nope, he was just up 2 points in the entrance poll

With the correction, Bernie probably still win Hispanics.

[KingFlorez]

77. Cornel West has limited appeal

Those he appeals to were probably already voting for Sanders.

[bravenak]

80. I agree

[wildeyed]

103. Exactly.

The challenge in a big campaign is to enlarge the coalition. It stopped being about red meat for the base a long time ago, but the campaign never seemed to be able to switch gears to persuading the leaners and undecideds.

[Cha]

92. Clinton rides minority support to win over Sanders in Nevada caucuses

Or killer mike's out reach, either.


Hillary Clinton Verified account 
?@HillaryClinton
The feeling is mutual, Nevada.

Brave~

[bravenak]

94. Hahahahahaha!!

[Gothmog]

100. I have never thought that Prof. West was an effective surrogate

[gwheezie]

101. I have a general rule

When right-wing loons use a black spokesperson to bash Obama in the media, that person is no longer credible to me. Not the same as intellectual differences but using language that no white person would use against Obama and then the Obama haters clap with glee when their racism is validated by a black man. I've heard enough from West that I don't listen to him.
