And among those voters, the numbers are Clinton 63, Biden 22, Sanders 3

Bernie has to do a better job reaching people of color, or he'll be a non-factor in states like Georgia. That's simply a fact.

who I won't name, keep saying he's not.

I rather suspect these groups have been co-opted by Clinton, who has actually never done much for PoC when compared to Sanders.

It's "optics," unfortunately.

Peach State Democrats strike me as sagacious. If you are recommending they need re-education I would demur.

different this time; the numbers from this polling suggest they aren't ready. If this different thing is not accomplished, I believe the consequences are too dire from which to recover.

of her experience as "baggage.". As Rubio said last night, if the election is a resume contest, Hillary Clinton will be our next President. It largely is, and she will.

reject the corrupt politics of the past (including the Clintons), we are going beyond a point of no return. And it's probably this election cycle.

Love Hillary and Biden. She probably sent him a text. "You're a big fucking deal. "

If Sanders thinks he has a chance, he better look in the rear view. At 1% O'Malley is closer to striking distance on Sanders than anyone to Clinton.
