I know, right?? Apparently... from what I've read... most black voters were unaware that Bernie had jumped on the bandwagon.

Also, Rachel's analysis and Lawrence's analysis clearly shows that it was Gillum's message that brought the voters to his side.

I'll never understand why it is that some people are so eager to take credit for the hard work of someone else.
