I hope Sanders doesn't stand, even tho I support his politics. His candidacy was damaged by genuine complaints from black people that they were largely ignored by him until they embarrassed him, and even then their policy involvement was largely totemic.

So, it would be far better to have a new bernie like candidate who learns the lessons of his campaign.

For what it is worth, he is now popular among black respondents in popularity polls and he should have time to work on his messaging. And prepare the tax returns (unless they were hiding something really damaging).

He is old though, and needs to find someone to pass the torch to anyway. Question is if they have someone to pass the torch to.

Keeping the story straight (none / 0)

Either all black people supported Hillary Clinton or all black people supported Bernie Sanders. Which is it this week?
