Might I also add that Black approval of Bill Clinton reached 80% and never dropped below it *AFTER* 1994 (aka when the crime bill passed)?

1. He and supporters have darn sure tried, and it's not just Prez and Clinton they are slamming. nt

2. Based on those banished by specious

alert-stalkers, the trend continues here on DU.

What goes around comes around. Karma is indeed a b****!

3. K&R!

4. It's just one mistake after another. So many missed opportunities ...

... oh well!

[yallerdawg]

5. The heart and soul of the Democratic Party.

How would a DINO know that?

6. After seeing Jane Sanders interview last night, I wonder if they track it closely

She said that people under 30 of all races favor Bernie. That's not true. I don't believe she'd lie so they must not be tracking it. (It's the only other reason I could come up with for her saying that)

7. If one's election outcome rests on the under 30 crowd

one should be very worried since this is the demographic least likely to vote.

[Rose Siding]

9. Yes, but it was bad data-wise

Here are the actual AA millenial numbers...

:large

So what she said to Chris Hayes was untrue.

13. Says a lot, he has lost his way and can't lie past the facts.

8. They're a humorless bunch, too

I stopped trying to understand them. Now they're attacking the sheer audacity of love and kindness.

Besides, they don't need my vote. I've been deemed a confederate, whatever that means. Guess I got berned?

[charlyvi]

10. I don't think it sways many white voters over 30 either.

I'm white, and I resent it. How can he fly in here, six or seven months ago, and begin criticizing the first AA president.....a DEMOCRAT... and think I'm just going to fall in line when he never worked within my party or helped to elect my President! Not to mention the constant beating drum....Millionaires, Billionaires! Income inequality is a problem, yes indeed, but not the only one! And I might add, some of the Presidents who have done the most for working people were millionaires and billionaires. FDR, JFK, LBJ (probably a thousandaire but he wasn't hurting moneywise). Money doesn't necessarily mean greed and evil.

11. He is literally a Party Crasher

And very late to the party at that. For someone who doesn't like people who take from others, he sure seems to be doing just that. He's been using the Democratic Party all while telling them the benefits (he is currently enjoying) are from ill gotten gains. That takes some chutzpah.

If he really so loathes being associated with the Democrats and all their tawdry establishment machinations, he could easily have kept his Party purity and run as an Independent. But that wouldn't have given him all the credibility and advantages he's been able to leverage from the Democratic name and infrastructure, would it? He has quite the little racket going and none of his supporters see it.

He is absolutely losing me with the ever-escalating trashing of the Party he is using.

[charlyvi]

12. I agree wholeheartedly!

When someone asks if they can have dinner at your house, then immediately starts trashing the dinnerware. dining room furniture, menu and drink selection, you're not likely to appreciate their company. And they certainly wouldn't be asked back.

[Thinkingabout]

14. Yes and I think for real Democrats it will fail.

[DemonGoddess]

16. ^^^This!!!

So very tired of the meme about money. Nope, not wealthy here, or even comfortable. But you know what? I LIKE what Mrs. Clinton is saying. I LIKE what she has done. Yes, she's made mistakes in the past. She's a human being FFS. That's another thing I don't get with supporters on the other side, is expecting that she is some kind of machine, and therefore cannot make a mistake. So gee, any mistake made must have some nefarious meaning.

Sen. Sanders talks a good talk. He's a helluva salesman, ain't he? But this consumer? NOT buying it.

[yardwork]

17. I feel that way too.

Somebody got up in my face yesterday about Hillary's record as Secretary of State. There is a thread blaming Hillary about Honduras. Wow. Yeah, I was aware that US foreign policy in Latin America has sucked since I don't know, the Spanish-American war. We are not the good guys. Hillary didn't cause that.

Where the hell has Bernie been all these years? Did he even speak out about Chile when that went down? Or was he too busy visiting the Soviet Union.

It makes me mad. Bernie got arrested once in the 60s and now he's supposed to be this Great White Hope. Looks to me like he's been hanging out in Vermont making friends with the NRA - who fund war and violence in Honduras!!!!

End rant.

15. Astonishing!
