Buttigieg 2020

Just saw some local Anselm College polling data in NH that alleges that Booty has 10 point lead in NH. So, if so, he is doing what I said he would have to do- to show that he is not just a one-trick pony in NH. So if he is making that happen, well then he gets points up on the board.

What a mess this is becoming though. We have pretty well beaten the Warren versus Biden match-up analysis to death but if Booty keeps it up and robs votes from Warren and Biden it makes it harder and harder for anyone to cobble together a winning lead, sufficient to avoid a brokered convention food fight. If Booty gets too far ahead then what do dems do with it? You have to push it all the way to the end and he becomes the nominee. Is that gonna work for ya Dems? Or if not, then what is the alternative? The alternative is that you gotta somehow get his votes back and assigned to another candidate, if he goes forward with his current success. What a mess.

On a lighter note, Booty still does not have this bit about getting black votes worked out yet.

Clearly some entertainment value here (below): OOOOOOOOOOOOOPS!!!!!!

Pete Buttigieg’s campaign has scrubbed a photo of a black woman and child from a section of his website devoted to the Democratic presidential candidate’s plan to battle racial inequality.

The problem – as first reported by The Intercept’s Ryan Grim – was that the image was a stock photo of a woman in Kenya who apparently has nothing to do with the campaign.

Buttigieg will have to garner more than the 3 black Americans who currently support him.

Trump appears to have something like 34% of black voters supporting him if you are inclined to believe the polls. That is a disaster for Democrats. Apparently black people like to have jobs and prosper and aren't too keen on immigration.

How John Bel Edwards won the Louisiana Governor's race

"John Bel Edwards won with African American votes and African American turnout," political analyst Ron Faucheux said. "The 51% that Republicans got combined in the primary fell to 49% in the runoff, and that was largely due to increased African American turnout."

Edwards spent much of his time in the closing days of the race in predominantly-black areas, trying to bring more black voters to the polls. During the last week of the campaign, Mayor LaToya Cantrell stumped for the incumbent governor.

"This race really proved to be rural vs. urban, and Governor Edwards really performed so well in all of the urban areas," said pollster and analyst Greg Rigamer.

The strategy worked overwhelmingly. By the time final results came in Saturday night, Edwards had secured about 99% of the African American vote, according to WWL-TV's election analysis

By 9:45 p.m., WWL-TV called the election for Edwards because 93% of returns had come in, and the majority outstanding were from predominantly black districts, which had broken universally for the Democrat."

'Black Votes Matter': African-Americans Propel Jones To Alabama Win

December 13, 20175:37 PM ET


When Sen.-elect Doug Jones, D-Ala., addressed his cheering supporters Tuesday night in Birmingham, Ala., one of his first shout-outs went to his African-American supporters. As well it should have.

Black voters made up 29 percent of the electorate in Alabama's special Senate election, according to exit polling. That percentage is slightly more than the percentage of Black voters in the state who turned out for Barack Obama in 2012. And a full 96 percent of Black voters in Alabama Tuesday supported Jones, including 98 percent of African-American women. "Black women led us to victory. Black women are the backbone of the Democratic party," Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez tweeted Wednesday morning, "and we can't take that for granted. Period."

Black Voters Propelled Blue Wave, Study Finds

African-Americans increasingly associate GOP with Trump, racist rhetoric


Democratic wins in the 2018 midterms were driven largely by African American voters — particularly black women — who increasingly associate the GOP with President Trump’s perceived hostility toward people of color and immigrants, according to an analysis released Monday.

The report by the NAACP, the racial justice nonprofit Advancement Project, and the political action group African American Research Collaborative found that across competitive elections 90 percent of black voters supported Democratic House candidates, compared to 53 percent of voters overall. It also found 91 percent of black women, 86 percent of black men and 50 percent of white voters believe Trump and the GOP are using toxic rhetoric to divide the nation.

“This poll dispels the myth of black voter apathy,” said Judith Browne Dianis, Advancement Project executive director. “Clearly black voters are not only engaged, but they are central to the resistance against Trumpism.”

Get-out-the-vote campaigns organized by the NAACP, the Advancement Project and other groups drove record numbers of black voters to the polls, said Jamal Watkins, NAACP vice president of engagement. Nearly twice as many African-Americans voted Nov. 6 as in the 2014 midterm cycle

I find your focus on the word "Black" to be Racist. To label a group of people based on the color of their skin is colonial. The appropriate term is African America. American would be more appropriate but this group is insistent on being different.

I do agree that African America women are making progress in the United States. However, little mention is being made of the inability of African America males to matter. African American males are being eviscerate by the democratic process.

Associating with the term People of Color is also a boondoggle for African Americans. It is going to be a rude awakening for many African Americans when they discover that most Latinos do not have their back.
