| DarkD said: That might be the case for the odd minority, but now you've run into some very dicey logic. A far cry from your original. Heck, you're trying to claim minorities would have voted Trump. The few minorities who voted Trump probably just did so because they found Hillary almost as vile or liked his populist message. Bernie probably has a better history among minorities than an actual minority. The guy actually chained himself up with black people to protest his universities segregation of black and white students. This was WELL before it was popular to do so. Hillary on the other hand is the one with the famous quote of calling black people "super predators". |
I didn't claim that, I claimed that Trump had more support from the minorities than Romney did according to exit polls and thus it was one part that formed my argument that demographics don't translate into destiny ...
Perception is all that matters, if the african americans view Clinton favourably compared Sanders despite her controversies then they must've seen other qualities in her that outweighed her history ... (More white women voted for Trump than Clinton according to exit polls despite his lewd comments in the famous video tape! Clinton somehow lost to Trump in that demographic despite being a white women herself LOL)
Sander's had an issue with appealing to african americans whether you like it or not since he couldn't win ANY of these states in primaries with a high precentage of them such as District of Columbia, Mississipi, Louisana, Georgia, Maryland, South Carolina, Alabama, and Virginia. In fact Bernie was curb stomped by Clinton in those states! (Beaten by Clinton from margins ranging anywhere from 10% to almost 50%!)
Bernie would've a tough time getting votes in Philadelphia which would more likely give Pennsylvania to Trump than Clinton in addition to that Trump may have even stolen Virginia from the electoral map if Sander's was running ...
Blacks just don't feel the bern ...
