Unfortunately the minority electorate is putting Clinton over the top.

KING: Hillary Clinton offers explanation but no apology about why she called young black kids ‘superpredators’. On Wednesday, Ashley Williams, an activist from Charlotte, N.C., paid $500 to attend a private fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in South Carolina.
Once at the event in Charleston, it was the intention of Williams — in a peaceful, but confrontational protest — to ask Clinton why she called black boys "superpredators" back in 1996 and to seek an apology for her role in promoting mass incarceration.
The crowd, which was almost exclusively white, literally hissed and booed and yelled that Ashley was trespassing. Another person could be heard repeatedly saying, "this is not appropriate."
What is most telling, though, is something that Hillary said while the Secret Service was grabbing Williams and throwing her out of the event. Williams again asked Clinton to explain why she called black children superpredators.
"You know what, nobody's ever asked me before,” Clinton responded. “You're the first person to ask me and I'm happy to address it, but you are the first person to ask me."
Bill Clinton signed into law an omnibus crime bill in 1994 that included the federal "three strikes" provision, mandating life sentences for criminals convicted of a violent felony after two or more prior convictions, including drug crimes. On Wednesday, Clinton acknowledged that policy's role in over-incarceration in an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour.
With the Clinton's, all you have to do is follow the money trail. As immigration and incarceration issues become central to the 2016 presidential campaign, lobbyists for two major prison companies are serving as top fundraisers for Hillary Clinton.
