Leftover goodwill from the (Bill) Clinton era. And yes, I'm aware of the 3 strikes/prison reform he pushed through, but I don't think most people are. Obviously most people here are too young to remember exactly what his persona was like, but I know lots of older people loved the Clinton era and are hoping for a repeat. Bernie is nobody to most people over the age of 30.
A lot of blacks (especially older blacks) are ignorant to the policies of the Clinton administration. And dub Bill some type of hero to the black community. When in actuality, Bill and Hilary are both trash.
