If she also enjoyed the level of support from the black community that Obama had she would have won. I also think a great number of Dems stayed home because they had news outlets like huffpo telling everyone its a foregone conclusion, 99% and all that lead up to that, and simply stayed home. In the ensuing shell shock, the complicated answer of boiling down a demographic to achieve the outcome that had been touted throughout the campaign, ie "its all racism folks, polls are lopsided, it will be rejected" is what we get, when the issue is the Dems simply didn't energize their base. "Polls are for dogs." The failure is on them. Would Bernie have proven to overpower the racism? Or would he have been the voice Americans were seeking that would've retained power for the Dems and then racism wouldn't be what we are talking about today?
