This what NY Congressman Charles Rangle is saying to Biden-but maybe Bernie ought to be taking note as well.
Joe Biden will be spending his Saturday night at the premiere event for black lawmakers in Washington, an appearance seen widely as a chance to test the waters for a 2016 bid among a crucial constituency.
But interviews with nearly a dozen Congressional Black Caucus members this week make it clear: Biden will be walking into Clinton territory. The conversations point to a deep base of support for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that’s unlikely to change,even if Biden enters the race."
"I don’t see a serious primary at all,” Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.). “The Clintons have inroads with the black community,and I really don’t see a contest at all. Biden is my buddy,but he’s not going anywhere.”

He doesn't see a contest at all?! Don't tell Rachel Maddow and the other Clinton maniacs. Rachel insists that the race is wide open and just anything could happen. We have no idea how this might end up.

I thought Cornell West was going to solve Bernie's problem with African Americans.
Biden decided last week to attend a high-profile dinner for the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, a last-minute move that comes as speculation mounts about whether he’ll launch an 11th-hour bid for president. President Barack Obama is the keynote speaker at the dinner."

"But even if Biden—who has long been considered a close friend of the African-American community—enters the race, leading figures in the caucus say they expect their colleagues to back Clinton."
"A number of them already have: Twenty-seven of the caucus’ nearly four dozen members have publicly endorsed Clinton."
"And they already are campaigning for her. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) traveled to Iowa to meet with faith leaders, Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge held an organizing event for Clinton while Sen. Cory Booker went to Nevada to stump for the former secretary of state."
“With or without Vice President Biden in the race, Hillary Clinton will remain the front-runner,” said New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, who hasn’t endorsed any candidate yet. “Her firewall against the Bernie Sanders surge is her strong support in the African-American and Latino communities. To the extent that Joe Biden gets into the race,it will complicate things to some degree … but that said, I think still her support is so wide and so deep that it will be difficult for any candidate to erode it.”

It gets worse Bernie supporters. You might want to cover your virgin ears. Many of you claim Bernie is the True Progressive before who all false progressives must bow at the knees. Hillary we're told is a Wall St. Democrat with no strong issue positions.
Again, someone forgot to tell African-American lawmakers.
"Part of that support, lawmakers said, is that Clinton has long been discussing the issues—penal reform, poverty, education and voting rights—at the forefront the African-American lawmakers’ agenda. Her first major speech was on criminal justice reform and the campaign has sent a handful of top lieutenants to attend the CBC event. Karen Finney, a top Clinton advisor, said having a large presence at the weekend’s events underscores how hard Clinton plans to campaign for support among lawmakers and African-American voters."
“It’s about outreach, reaching out to a broad range of voices and activists to hear from them so the policies that we come up with are building consensus,” Finney said. It’s a smart play for the Clinton campaign, which has seen her standing the polls slipping over thepast month as Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has made inroads in New Hampshire and Iowa with votes. Those voters, many who are younger and white, could give any candidate an early primary win but any Democrat seeking the nomination will need a strong showing in the South—where black Democrats lean toward Clinton."
"And black leaders like Rangel, Reps. John Lewis, Jim Clyburn and others, hold an extreme amount of sway when campaigning for candidates with African-American voters."

"It’s a dramatically different position than Clinton found herself in in 2008. Clinton was expected to sweep the endorsements from the establishment wing of the party—including many African-American lawmakers who had known her husband, former President Bill Clinton for decades."
"But when then-Sen. Barack Obama entered the race, the caucus was split. Some lawmakers like Rangel and Cleaver stuck with Clinton through the end while others turned their backs on the Clintons to support Obama’s bid to be the first African-American president."
"But seven years later, Clinton has a majority of the caucus’ endorsement months before primary voters cast their ballots."

I know. Bernie is the Immaculate Progressive who after hearing how virtuous and upright he is all will just forget their own names much less Hillary's and all sell all their belongings and become Bernie Maniacs.
The entrenched corrupt only have eyes for the entrenched corrupt that support them and that they can manipulate freely.
