She was cooler, more arrogant, and more manipulative toward #BLM than Bernie.
But Bernie's nationalist views on immigration and trade have brought him under attack.
Democrats call Trump a racist for his anti-immigration, anti-free trade views.
Republicans have said the same about Bernie for the same offenses.
Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Clinton's Support Drops by a Third
In the Democratic contest, Clinton and Sanders run essentially evenly among whites, 31 vs. 33 percent[.]
Clinton's lead relies on nonwhites, among whom she has 57 percent support, to Sanders' 13 percent.
It's the only major demographic group in which Clinton still maintains a clear majority.
Clinton's support from nonwhites has dropped, by 14 points, from 71 percent in July.
But her support from whites has fallen farther, by 25 points, in the same time.
As noted, too, Clinton's support among women has cratered by 29 points since July.
Among men she's lost 9 points in the same period, from 52 to 43 percent.
Her gender gap has evaporated.
The phenomenon is so marked that it has been widely noted.
Charles Blow
The race gap accounts for the whole of Clinton's "southern state firewall" to stop Bernie's rise.
How did this happen, by the way?
On Saturday, Sanders campaigned with Dr. Cornel West, who recently issued an endorsement of Sanders.
West’s critique of the president has been so blistering and unyielding — he has called Obama “counterfeit,” the “black face of the American empire,” a verb-ed neologism of the n-word — that it has bordered on petulance and self-parody.
