None takin Look I've been giving political opinions and analysis on here for years in HL, my post is backed up by the voters numbers not feelings. I notice some people listen to polls to much instead of looking at the data. According to some Polls, Bernie was "Ahead" of Biden in the black vote Nationally. If that was true he wouldn't of lost 10 states and the Black Vote by 40 points on Super Tuesday (Biden got 70% of the Black vote in some states). My point about Bloomberg was that he damn near matched Bernie Black voter number % across Super Tuesday and he's only been in the race for months. We all know Black people overall weren't gonna go for Bloomberg but What does that say if Bernie was 16%-17% in 16' and now he's 16-17% in 2020? How about looking in the mirror instead of blaming others? That's more about what Bernie hasn't done than what Bloomberg has. Also this is politics, consolidation happens, endorsement happen. I think people are more shocked because Biden did something unexpected. Nobody expected that many former Presidential candidates to join forces like that. I think people are still shocked by that. Yes Beto helped with Texas, Clyburn helped with SC and Amy helped with Minn. Also Pete brought his voters along. It's called building relationships, that's what a President has to do. So yes it was a like a tidal wave of good news that came for Biden but the Black Vote numbers are what they are.
Black Voters are the King Makers of the Democratic Nomination and a Democrat in the last 50 years hasn't won the Presidency without the Black Vote going for overwhelming numbers. Also Gore won by the way, everyone knows this. Kerry got the nod because of a weak Presidential Field. Black Voters sent a Black Man to the White House without the White Vote going for him. They also almost got the 1st Woman in History to the White House (Won the Popular vote too) with White men and Women voting heavily against her. Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack don't sniff the oval office without those Black numbers being as high as they were. The Obama connection is huge, nobody disputing that but there are other reasons as I mentioned in my post why Black Voters choose Biden on Super Tuesday.
with Obama.
