‘Morning Joe’: No Way Bernie’s Going To Be the Dem Nominee When He’s Pulling 5 Percent of Black Voters
EXCERPT:
SCARBOROUGH: "You know, Gene Robinson, we’ve talked about this a while, been talking about it this week especially. We had all of these candidates who everybody was talking about for two years that had no connection with black voters, especially in the south, whether it was Mayor Pete or Amy or Elizabeth Warren or whether it was Bernie Sanders. And it is pretty shocking that so many people would start and continue a campaign and so many others would suggest they could win the Democratic primary without any support among the most important constituency in the Democratic Party. Here we see again, despite all of his guarantees over the past four years, Bernie Sanders has made no inroads into the black community. In fact, he’s doing the same or worse than he did four years ago. I just — it’s stunning. I think, again, Biden is the only guy left standing because Biden is the only guy who had support, large support among black voters. It’s not hard. It’s just not hard to figure out. Everybody is wringing their hands. 'Why did this person get out of the race? Why did that person get out of the race? It’s not fair!' If you’re pulling 5% of black voters across the southeast, you’re going to lose."
