I mean, a candidate isn't on his own, he is surrounded by a team. The team is there to make him aware of issues he is weak on, and either Bernie has refused to work on it, or he has no one on his team that thinks this is an important enough issue to actually engage in it. Either alternative does not bode well.

Please. You are imagining failure at this point. Betty Karlson Jul 2015 #10

I don't think I am. I think it is a symptom of something that is wrong in Sanders' campaign. KitSileya Jul 2015 #15

Fair enough. Care to suggest where and how to get that cram course to him? Betty Karlson Jul 2015 #19

Well, not cancelling meetings with prominent Black activists would be a start. KitSileya Jul 2015 #22
