In 2008, the meme from Team Hillary was that Barack Obama couldn't reach white voters......

Clinton touts support from 'white Americans'

(CNN) - In what appear to be the New York senator's most blunt comments to date regarding a racial division in the Democratic presidential race, Hillary Clinton suggested Wednesday that "White Americans" are increasingly turning away from Barack Obama’s candidacy.

"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," Clinton said in an interview with USA TODAY.

Clinton cited an Associated Press poll "that found how Senator Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."

"There's a pattern emerging here," she said. .................(more)

....... now, it's Bernie Sanders doesn't get non-white voters.

I'm getting a little dizzy.

[hrmjustin]

1. Considering she gets 75 percent in the latest poll it looks like she is doing well in all..

...demographics.

[virtualobserver]

2. for now.....

I challenge anyone to find a politician with better name recognition.

Nobody knows Bernie yet.....but to know him is to love him.

[hrmjustin]

4. To know him is to love him? I like him but can't say I love him.

[cascadiance]

5. I'm sure there are others like the Koch Brothers and Jamie Dimon that hate him too!

But those people don't represent the views of most Americans...

Those that are screwed by these people that probably hate him are the ones that probably love him fighting those that hate him!

Perhaps others don't feel like they are directly in that battle and don't care enough to either love or hate him.

[hrmjustin]

6. Or maybe people just like him.

I like him but I am voting for Hillary.

[DesertFlower]

16. it's still early. in '08

we thought she would be the one. i'm supporting bernie but if she is the candidate she'll get my vote.

[hrmjustin]

18. Hey how have you been?

[DesertFlower]

23. okay. how about you?

[hrmjustin]

24. Been ok. Nothing new.

[DesertFlower]

30. same here. i lead a quiet boring

life. lol.

[hrmjustin]

31. Lol me too.

[nadinbrzezinski]

26. Oh never mind

3. Trashing

[jeff47]

9. Tip: If you are trashing a thread because it's bad, you don't need to actually announce it.

In fact, announcing that you are trashing a thread is counter-productive, because it kicks the thread.

[upaloopa]

12. Just showing it is a waste of time posting lies

about Hillary who is at 75% by the way

[marmar]

14. It's a lie? Hillary didn't really say that? CNN and the NY Times just made up quotes?

Jeezus, Mary and Joseph.

[upaloopa]

17. 60 point spread wow!

Keep tring your running out of people who care

[marmar]

19. So you can't respond to the question substantively, obviously.

So again, who's lying?

[LondonReign2]

42. Of coourse they can't answer substantively, especially that one

They would like us to forget or ignore all the racist dog whistles from the Clinton campaign in 2008 while pretending Bernie is anything less than 100% supportive of POC.

It is the classic Rove technique of attacking a candidate's strengths with your own weaknesses, just like mocking Kerry's Purple Hearts while Dimson went AWOL from the TANG.

[jeff47]

21. ...By making sure more people read those "lies".

Kinda odd that they are "lies", yet Clinton actually said them. But thanks for making sure more people hear them.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. That sixty point ass whipping HRC is giving some people's candidate is really ruffling some jimmies.

eom

[AtomicKitten]

7. They don't even have the imagination to vary their racist hit job on this election's opponent.

Second verse, same as the first.

You nailed it. k&r

[uponit7771]

8. He's not talking to non-white voter issues specifically when on national stage... the NPR

... interview where he sidestepped some IINM.

I don't see how that's a good strategy

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. ...

[hootinholler]

13. Any way the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me...

[Fumesucker]

15. Hard working white people in a warm purple space

[En Garde]

20. Fearmongering is what has always driven Hillary's black-ops campaigning against opponents.

Remember, it was her racist campaign staff that deliberately started the "Obama is a Muslim" meme that persists to this day.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. Yet she is viewed favorably by ninety percent of African American Democrats and

Yet she is viewed favorably by ninety percent of African American Democrats and eighty one percent of Latino Democrats. What this plebeian infers from that is they don't give a rip that some disaffected elite intellectuals or folks that fancy themselves as such feel they should be outraged because they aren't

[En Garde]

25. "liberal elite intellectuals"?

Sean Hannity couldn't have said it better.

[marmar]

27. +1000

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

.... and welcome to DU!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. I don't know whether to laugh or cry that you would turn people of color into a political football.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry that you would turn people of color into a political football. especially in light of current events.

[marmar]

35. WTF are you talking about?

It's hard to respond to cryptic word salad.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

36. Pal, you aren't going to intimidate me with "WTFs" over the internet

Pal, you aren't going to intimidate me with "WTFs" over the internet and my remarks require no elucidation.


If you feel like intimidating someone you can step out of your abode, find the first stranger, and intimidate him or her. Oh, and please let me know how it works out for you.


Thank you in advance.

[marmar]

37. "my remarks require no elucidation."

Because they can't be elucidated. It's intellectually dishonest nonsense.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

38. They are clear as day...

You are accusing Secretary Of State Clinton of being a bigot and are using People Of Color as a cudgel.




The latest poll showing HRC beating Sanders by sixty points must really have some people shook.

[marmar]

39. I posted an article in response to the many posted about Bernie Sanders.

So did she not say that? Are the New York Times and CNN just making stuff up?

For the record, I don't think Hillary Clinton is a bigot. .... And BTW, I AM a person of color.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

40. If somebody said Bernie is a bigot they need to check themselves.

If somebody said Bernie is a bigot they need to check themselves.

It was a clumsy comment, no different than the comments Bernie made on race that some are exploiting here.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. Welcome to DU. I hope you enjoy your stay.

[bahrbearian]

32. Wow, You working for Sid now ?

[boston bean]

33. Sid works for me!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

34. I would take a bullet for Sid Dithers and would rest my life on his King Solomon like judgement./NT

[Scuba]

41. Rec for the subthread in which a Hillary backer gets his ass handed to him.
