Beginning of end of Hillary? ; "Bill Clinton May Have Just Cost Hillary the Black Vote"

If this turned out to be the case, can Hillary win in 2016 without Black vote?


Bill Clinton May Have Just Cost Hillary the Black Vote

Nick Bernabe
April 8, 2016

Philadelphia, PA — Hillary Clinton has been performing well with minorities so far in the 2016 Democratic primary, but that could soon be changing. Bill Clinton may have just severely damaged the former secretary of state’s reputation among African Americans by committing a major gaffe — one he is now “almost” apologizing for.

At a campaign stop in Philadelphia on Thursday, Bill was interrupted by protesters — a common theme this presidential election. The protesters, mostly young black Americans, interrupted Bill’s speech to air their grievances about his sweeping 1994 crime bill — the largest ever passed. The bill, sold as a way to effectively fight inner-city crime, actually helped expand an already developing trend of mass incarceration that had an overwhelmingly negative impact of the black community.
Signs reading “Clinton Crime Bill destroyed our community,” and “Hillary is a murderer” could be seen waving in the audience as Bill was interrupted Thursday. He caused a major backlash in the the African-American community when he decided to comment on the people who were incarcerated because of his crime bill.
“I don’t know how you would describe the gang leaders who got 13-year-olds hopped up on crack and sent them out in the streets to murder other African-American children.“Maybe you thought they were good citizens…You are defending the people who kill the lives you say matter. Tell the truth. You are defending the people who cause young people to go out and take guns,” he said at the campaign event.
Hillary Clinton was a major supporter of her husband’s crime bill when she was First Lady. As we reported previously:
“Hillary Clinton lobbied Congress to pass the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act. Bill Clinton signed the act into law in 1994… The largest crime bill in history, it provided $9.7 billion in prison funding. From 1992 to 2000, the amount of prisoners in the U.S. increased almost 60%.”
In another recent incident, Hillary came under scrutiny for alluding to young black males as “super-predators” in a speech in 1996. She, like Bill, has been confronted by activists for her contribution to the nation’s mass incarceration problem.
Hillary is facing eroding support from the Latino community, as well. Recent polling shows her previous popularity among this key demographic has evaporated — leaving Bernie Sanders with a slight lead of 48% to Clinton’s 47% in Latino support.

Wouldn't that be really cool? Go, Bubba, go! Hillary just may kill him yet.

Pretty sure McAfee could get a sizable chunk of that demographic.

Nothing a Clinton says is an accident.

I don't know.... that one looked pretty unscripted.

The Clintons seem to be trying to walk a tight rope now that "Black States" primaries are done, Billy perhaps in attempt to court "angry at Obama" vote was strategically trying to do "awful legacy" of Obama years talk but this is not likely to win Hillary in a national contest with vote for deadly Iraq war also hanging over her head.
Her predicament is not all that unique, almost all neocons lobies funded/supported candidates appear to in big trouble in 2016.

Liberal HuffPo has done some articles on this new dynamic too.


Hillary Clinton’s Support Among Nonwhite Voters Has Collapsed

Mar 31, 2016

On February 27th, Hillary Clinton led Bernie Sanders among African-American voters by 52 points.
By March 26th, she led Sanders among African-Americans by just nine points.
And today, Public Policy Polling, a widely respected polling organization, released a poll showing that Sanders leads Clinton among African-American voters in Wisconsin by 11 points.

It’s all part of a dramatic national trend that has seen Clinton’s support among nonwhite voters dwindle to well under a third of what it was just a month ago — not nearly enough support to carry her, as it did throughout the Deep South, to future electoral victories in the Midwest and Northeast.

Hillary Clinton’s Support Among Nonwhite Voters Has Collapsed

If she's against Trump in the general election the opposite will happen.

It is possible.

It is also possible that once attacks against Hillary start, she could go by way of other GOP establishment candidates like Jeb Bush, Romney, Rubio, Carly etc.
There is too much material to work with for her critics... from her Iraq war support to being closely tied to current SWC's policies/"awful legacy" to Benghazi to "lyin Hillary" etc.

Clinton is trying to appeal to Dominican cab drivers & Mexican business owners victimized by black gang members.

You really believe Hillary Clinton will survive the "superpredator" prisons scandal?

Yes, obviously have no idea what your so called super predicator demographic thinks, because their dad was in jail or with another woman, and their mom never forgave him. They grew up with only one parent, and Clinton is the one that media gives credit for being "the first to talk about sentencing reform for non violent offenses" and people generally think that she was cheated on but she stayed with him for basically for altruistic reasons.

That's because the media spins the "cheating" as adulteries, whereas the sexual misbehavior he got into legal trouble over was multiple instances of sexual assault or harassment of women. They've been cleaning up the Clintons' corrupt hides for decades, but a strong opposing candidate can cut to the chase and keep the focus on his assaults, that Hillary acted as an accessory for.

The Bill vs. BLM flap is just Sista Souljah 2.0, a clearly rehearsed soundbite or calculated tongue lashing designed to show the Clintons can stand up to the base, now that most of the 'black' heavy primaries are over. Because Hillary herself didn't say it, she has deniability, yet it will curry a centralizing image for her going into the fall campaign.

You're not going to get that message out, you forget people want to be victimized they wont hear you. People love to be victimized they adore it, this just strokes peoples egos. This is what Trump is capitalizing on, a small minority of white people who feel like they are victims, this is why we needed Rand. He was the one that was doing serious damage against Clinton during the beginning of his campaign.

 

[Working Poor]

I wondered before about how and if the "Clinton Crime Bill" might might start to bloom in her campaign. That bill did hurt the black community and they should be mad.

You really hope that Hillary Clinton will survive the "superpredator" prisons scandal?

Fixed that to accurately reflect the situation.
