Bernie Sanders, hmmmm, will the AA voters choose him over Clinton? I wonder. If you've ever worked in a campaign, you know that AA churches are huge influencers and turnout engines. The pastors, preachers, reverends, bishops, and what have you preach week after week about which candidate will represent the AA interest best. I wonder whether they will stump for Bernie, or Martin, or Lincoln, or Hillary?
North Carolina, 38% of primary democrat voters identify as AA
Virginia, 33% of primary democrat voters identify as AA
Maryland, 37% of primary democrat voters identify as AA
Just a few states but it demonstrates that no candidate can win without at least some support among the AA voters.
Women voters make up over half in each state as well, averaging 55%. Hillary did very well in those groups, do you think that will change? Will women vote for Bernie, or Martin, or Lincoln, or Hillary?
Perhaps very young people, who make up between 9 - 14% of the primary voters, might vote for Martin, or Bernie, or Lincoln. Perhaps not.
Maybe white males? Hillary only averaged 45 - 48% with them. Maybe they'll go for Bernie, Martin, or Lincoln? Only time will tell.
