Black Democrats question Sanders' commitment to Obama

MINNEAPOLIS — Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign enlisted the support of black Democrats on Friday to undermine Bernie Sanders' push to claim a piece of President Barack Obama's legacy, arguing she is the rightful heir to the nation's first black president.
Clinton sought solidarity with Obama at every turn during Thursday's debate in Milwaukee, referring to herself as a "staunch supporter" of his health care law and praising him as a role model on race relations. Clinton ended the debate by criticizing Sanders for saying in an interview with MSNBC that Obama had failed the "presidential leadership test."
By Friday, as Clinton traveled to a black community in South Carolina, her African-American allies in Congress seized upon the Vermont senator's comments during the debate that race relations would "absolutely" be better under a future Sanders administration.
"I think it seemed a bit presumptuous to me to conclude that Bernie Sanders, in the twilight of his career, was going to be able to be the great healer in race relations," said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., in an interview with CNN.
Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, said in a statement after the debate that Sanders wanted to "undo President Obama's accomplishments" and also pointed to the MSNBC interview, saying Sanders' "disparaging comments towards the president are misplaced, misguided and do not give credit where credit is due."

Bernie-Hillary fight for african-american vote is on. I thought heard in ABC evening world news report that 58% of all Democratic voters in 2008 were African-Americans but it seems too high a number and need to confirm this still.

Interesting info:

There's a reason we suddenly have so many establishment African-American politicians backing Hillary to give her a boost before South Carolina. They want the big donor money she brings them, for their own campaigns.

Edit: To go into greater detail, let's read about the Hillary Clinton Victory Fund.

From the article

Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, has set up a joint fundraising committee with the DNC and the new rules are likely to provide her with an advantage.

The new rules have already opened up opportunities for influence-buying “by Washington lobbyists with six-figure contributions to the Hillary Victory Fund,” said Wertheimer, suggesting that lobbyists could also face “political extortion” from those raising the money.

From the New York Times: 4 State Parties Sign Fund-Raising Pacts With Clinton Campaign

The move to create the “Victory Funds” – in which the money raised would be divided between the state parties and the Clinton campaign – comes as efforts to form a joint fund-raising agreement with the Democratic National Committee have repeatedly hit snags over concerns in the Clinton campaign about the current party leadership’s controlling the money in any shared account. The national committee, which is intended to remain neutral, has been accused by Mrs. Clinton’s rivals for the nomination of taking actions that could benefit Mrs. Clinton, such as restricting the number of debates.

From the Washington Examiner: Clinton signs fundraising deals with 33 states

According to a Wednesday night FEC filing, the states set up agreements with the "Hillary Victory Fund," ensuring that each state party "collects contributions, pays fundraising expenses and disburses net proceeds for ... the authorized committee of a federal candidate." Many key primary states and battleground states signed the agreements, such as Florida, Ohio, Nevada, South Carolina and New Hampshire.

In addition to the 33 state agreements, the Hillary Victory fund also has set up joint fundraising agreements with Hillary for America and the Democratic National Committee. By doing so, Clinton's fundraising dollars can aid Democrats in each of the participating states and allow donors who give to the state parties to aid her campaign, thus linking the success of other Democrats to her own dollars and vice versa.​

From HuffingtonPost: New Rules Help Hillary Clinton Tap Big Donors For Democrats

The Clinton campaign’s super joint fundraising committee is out of the ordinary for two reasons. First, presidential candidates do not normally enter into fundraising agreements with their party’s committees until after they actually win the nomination. Second, Clinton’s fundraising committee is the first since the Supreme Court’s 2014 McCutcheon v. FEC decision eliminated aggregate contribution limits and Congress increased party contribution limits in the 2014 omnibus budget bill.​
