This is exhibit z on why he struggles with black voters. Skipping Selma to stage some goofy concert in California is another.

He’s writing off the largest African American voting bloc in the country. MS might vote red but people all over the country can see what he’s doing. It’s disrespectful and dismissive.

The end is near, which for the sake of our party - I am thrilled about. Let’s do what we’ve got to do to win with epic proportions.
