Florida Black caucus leaders, scores of African-American officials endorse Hillary Clinton


March 2, 2016 By Ryan Ray


A day after Hillary Clinton won a majority of Democratic delegates up for grabs in last night’s Super Tuesday primaries – partly on the strength of her support in minority communities – about 100 African-American Florida elected officials came out in support the former Secretary of State’s bid for the White House.

Among them were the Florida Legislative Black Caucus, and its new chairman Tampa state Rep. Ed Narain.

“Hillary Clinton is the leader who will always stand and fight for communities of color across Florida – and we are standing with her,” Narain said in a prepared statement on Wednesday. “As president, she will end the school to prison pipeline, reform our broken criminal justice system, address gun violence, and make college affordable so that every student can get an education.”

The most senior black legislator in Florida, Sen. Arthenia Joyner, echoed Narain’s sentiments Wednesday.

“Hillary Clinton has been a courageous fighter for civil rights and those without a voice her entire life. Her first job after law school was with the Children’s Defense Fund, where she worked to separate young people incarcerated in adult jails,” Joyner said. “As president, she will stay that course – protecting voting rights, fixing our broken criminal justice system, and building on President Obama‘s progress.”.....................

1. So, literally, "scores" means "not hundreds" ….

There are any number of black Florida leaders who do NOT endorse HRC.

2. Who said 'hundreds' besides you???

The article said...." about 100 African-American Florida elected officials ...." NOT 'hundreds'

8. Now that was just sad....when your candidate doesn't have any support in the community,

I guess all that's left is making some kind of non-sequitur quibble over "about 100 African-American Florida elected officials" endorsing Hillary.

9. Splitting of hairs like that indicates they are arguing from a position of weakness.

The spell-checking grammar nannies I've encountered in other threads amuse me too.

Go, Hillary! We love you!

10. A score is 20

there are five scores in a hundred, so yes, scores of AA leaders endorsed her.

There are any number of black Florida leaders who do NOT endorse HRC.
