More African Americans Plan not to Vote Than Vote for Bernie Sanders

This poll says it all. If you want to know why Bernie is simply not going to win this is all you need to see.

"There are clear differences between the Sanders and Obama campaigns. Most obvious is that Obama won 82 percent of the black vote in the 2008 primary,1 while Sanders continues to pick up lessthan 10 percent of black voters’ support. But the two Clinton campaigns have big differences too. The best data we have — polling, endorsements and fundraising — says Clinton is in a much stronger position now than she was at this point in the 2008 cycle."

Bernie is the pick of white liberals. However, the Democratic party is more diverse than the firebaggers like to think. There are black. Latino. moderate and conservative Democrats.

The problem facing Bernie is not whether he can win the general-this is one of the rare times Ezra Klein is wrong-

-it's how can he hope to win the primary when more African-American voters would rather not vote than support him.

We can argue why he doesn't resonate with black voters but I don't see how we can deny at this point that he doesn't.

Immigration is easier to understand though. He is actually somewhat Trump like on immigration. Obviously not nearly so extreme but he's clearly skeptical of immigration and believes that they take jobs and repress wages of Americans.
