Bernie Sanders Dines With Al Sharpton In Harlem

The sequential nature of primaries mean voters get to listen to one another – i.e. Nevadans and South Carolinians adjust their opinions based on what they hear out of Iowa and New Hampshire or what they see when the candidates focus more intently on them.

Reached for comment by email, Press said the Clinton campaign must be “desperate” to keep bringing up the blurb, which it had previously done in a press release. Some of the biggest geographical differences are within demographic groups, with Clinton’s and Sanders’s support ranging widely between the early states and those beyond.

Bernie Sanders broke bread with the Rev. Al Sharpton Wednesday as the surging Democratic presidential candidate from Brooklyn sought to shore up support among black voters.

With the Iowa and New Hampshire contests in the books, political junkies can finally satisfy our appetite for “hard data” on who actual voters support for their party’s presidential nominations – and what is motivating their decisions. Nevada’s Democratic caucuses are on February 20; South Carolina’s Democratic primary is on February 27. Bill Clinton has since said the legislation that led to a surge in new prisons and tougher sentences was a mistake.

Both candidates sought to appeal to black voters Friday.

Both the NY billionaire and the Democrat who derides the billionaire class appear posed to confirm their consistently large opinion poll leads here with double-digit wins.

“That’s real infrastructure”, a political consultant from SC told MSNBC. He raised again her Senate vote in favor of invading Iraq and said that on the most important foreign policy issue in modern times, “I voted the right way, she voted the wrong way”. Ohio Governor John Kasich came second in the Republican race, with former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Mr Cruz still vying for third place.

Ta-Nehisi Coates, an influential writer on racial issues, drew attention to the issue recently in an Atlantic Magazine essay entitled “The Case for Reparations”. “And, we said no”, Sanders said.

Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., one of Sanders” top black surrogates, suggested the senator was the right successor to Obama, asking the audience if they had voted for Obama eight years ago “because what he told you was not possible?

He added, “We can not as a nation turn out back on the reality that we have more people in jail today than any other country on earth”.

“That’s what’s happening right now”. “It’s not saying that Obama’s not a great president”.

I will do everything that I humanly can as president to make sure that you do not continue living in fear.
