They never come out for Bernie. He has to go seek them out.

......Or so I was told by some experts here.

He said there was also a bus, and I am pretty sure there were 5-6 vans including those 2. TYT journalist took that picture.

EDIT: And you can see a third with its trunk open in the very left edge of the picture.

When Bernie was in Portland last year. You were given proof that that there was far more than what you said but you never responded. Sorry you don't like being called out on your bullshit.

That they have a terrific 'product', Bernie, surely helps a lot.

Athiest here, but am willing success to them with all my thoughts.

Sander's staff seems to think that creating fake outrages or, in this case, plastering a bunch of vans with "Black Men for Bernie" will somehow open up the floodgates and make people see the light and vote for Bernie. It doesn't work that way. Bernie had 30+ years to make himself a household name in the black community. He failed. It's too late.

BTW, I have friends who are Bernie supporters--but they're low information and caught in the hype--not to mention, only one of them actually made it to the polls.

Hillary supporters generally don't know about this unless they hear her at a rich person's home after paying $500 - $2,500 to get in. Black people generally get tossed at those type of events, "You don't belong here!" Even when they pay the $500!

To foster discussion... It has, though quite a bit has been gross. They are not part of the campaign, they are a grassroots group and they actually are very good at flipping votes of people they can talk to.
