Sanders Running Even With Biden Among Black Voters, WSJ/NBC News Poll Finds
Joe Biden has lost a substantial part of his black-voter support and is now running about even with Bernie Sanders, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll has found.
The survey offered a caution sign for Mr. Biden just as the Democratic primary race moves into states with more racial diversity than Iowa and New Hampshire, two largely white states that held the first nominating contests.
Here’s the tabulation referred to.
Big oppo dump on Bernie today includes:
– He has a loud voice
– Passing more amendments than anyone, getting billions for community health centers & passing landmark veterans legislation proves he gets nothing done
– Leading in the polls proves he can’t win

This endorsement from March for Our Lives Co-founders (not all) was made yesterday, but I think it’s worth touting again.
I’m always reminded of this tweet from that protest:

Tip jar…
It sucks that unions can be so undemocratic that the management-member divide can even be a thing.
That’s quite a find! A preview! TY!

Weekend with Bernie: Sanders in Texas for four rallies ending in Austin
Got a Bernie Meetup 2/25. It will be phone banking which I’m not good at, but there is always plenty else to do. I can not believe the number of events scheduled for my neck of the woods. Light-years difference from 4 years ago!! 🙂
I’m driving to SC this evening to canvass for Bernie this weekend. My canvassing partner from 2016 is driving in from TN and we’ll work together again. Looking forward to it.
Will he or won’t he [endorse]. That is the question for Beto.
I will lay odds that if Beto does endorse it won’t be for Bernie.
