Black establishment Dems coming out to block for Hilary in SC. Get ready for some "Bernie has never cared about Black issues" or "Bernie talks to blacks in a racist way" soundbites from Black leaders.

Exhibit A:

Yeah I was wondering about VA. If Webb splits with Hillary or Bernie there's no chance they're gonna take VA. I hope he reconsiders. We will find out today

Sharpton: Sanders Did Not Talk About Racial Aspect of Inequality

**** him, Sanders doesn't need him. I hope Hillary gives him the cold shoulder too

Exhibit B.

I just learned that Jeb! isn't his real name, it's an acronym for his first/middle/last names

John Lewis with the "I don't know her" shade to Bernie. This is what happens when Bernie stans pretend Bernie was some major civil rights figure.

[Benzene]

Bernie stans calling John Lewis the establishment. Please, I BEG you, bring that rhetoric to SC and Super Tuesday.

Bring on South Carolina

So because Rev. Sharpton and John Lewis didn't fall in line, they get the vicious attacks? WOO CHILE. The BernieBros betta stop before they make Super Tuesday an even more messier day.

Bernie isn't helping himself with the Obama Leadership criticism that is circulating today as well. Ouch.

Woah

Who's input are they referring to though? Because I already know most members publically endorsed her but not the actual committee

How dare Bernie criticize Obama and other "black leaders'" disastrous economic records with the black community. Double unemployment compared to national average his entire term. 50% black youth unemployment while he floods the gates with immigrants. The implication Bernie doesn't care about black issues is so false.

You criticize, that's part of politics, but you don't let it get personal, and from what is being said on Twitter and social media, it's personal.

Not for one second do I think that Bernie doesn't care about black issues, we all know that isn't the true. The backlash that is being referenced to Obama isn't about income inequality or disparity among people of color, it's Bernie's view of how well he lead congress as a whole. A congress led by the GOP nonetheless and insinuated he can do better closing the gap and reeling the GOP in. REALLY?

Bottom line is running AGAINST the record of a President who is very popular among actual Dems is not a winning strategy. Unless of course you're actually angling for Trump's voters.

Clinton received 90% of the CBCPAC vote; Sanders did not receive any. Ellison does not sit on the board; did not get a vote

With Hilary running as Obama's third term, that would be the implication no matter what. Says a lot about Obama's record that Bernie's tactics seem to be working so far.

That is fine though. It is a PAC that is supposed to promote African-American participation in politics. It is not meant to just be for elected officials.

While the GOP congress have not been fantastic with reaching across the aisle, Obama has been no angel either. He's been very divisive on multiple fronts. Passing legislation without compromise and executive orders on divisive issues. Disparaging Republicans overseas. Using the State of the Union as a bully pulpit to attack the opposition to the point where several Supreme Court members don't even show up. Having his Press Secretary attack GOP candidates. Bernie is right in my opinion.

It says that the only two elections so far have been in states very friendly to Bernie (and he only won one of them), notably NH, where nearly half of the Democratic primary electorate weren't even Democrats.

I might be effective for the general election, but that's a careful line he would have to balance. If he is too critical, then many of Obama supporters may stay home, i.e. people of color.

He hasn't been that critical. He has even defended Obama and called him a progressive when Hillary asked, which is a little silly. If Obama is a progressive, then Hillary can't be too far from him.
