(3,457 posts)I'm talking about that basketball team.
Or is that your usual BS? (And I don't mean Bernie Sanders.)
On edit: I did a bit of research--
African Americans support former Secretary of State Clinton by more than a 3-to-1 margin nationwide, but among young blacks 18 to 29 years old, that margin shrinks to 46 percent for Clinton versus 33 percent for Sanders, according to recent Reuters/Ipsos polling.

So your supposition about the team is shaky to say the least.

(700 posts)Well why the hell didnt that so-called smear work in Maine and Nebraska? Newsflash because there wasnt one!
And now that Hillary is beginning to establish her dominance BS supporters are crying grassroots campaigns are really hard and getting your message out is difficult. When we actually heard just the opposite months ago!
Fact is people in the Democratic Party like Hillary better than Bernie. Some of us like Bernie OK, but we really like Hillary as is shown by her strong numbers within OUR party. Is Hillary a perfect candidate? No, but no one is, not even the beloved Bernie. Bernie simply picked a bad year to change his political affiliation to Democrat when so many of us are backing Hillary.
If Bernie had stayed Independent his supporters could have crowned him King and run as a third party.

but she blew a 21.4 pt lead in a day !!
.. a 23-24 pt swing.
That's wild. A major choke.
One question some folks might ask themselves:
if Bernie can do that to her, what can the GOP do to a candidate like that?

(36,418 posts)Fail. She's failing. The guilt-trip approach doesn't work for her anymore.
