Mothers of Black Victims Emerge as a Force for Hillary Clinton
By AMY CHOZICK APRIL 13, 2016

The Clinton campaign named this sisterhood forged in the shared loss of a child the “Mothers of the Movement,” and they have become an unlikely linchpin of Mrs. Clinton’s success in the Democratic primary. At campaign stops, Mrs. Clinton introduces them as “a group of mothers who belong to a club no one ever wants to join.” The mothers will arrive in New York this week to help Mrs. Clinton compete for the April 19 primary.

1. Wronged mothers have a very powerful voice. They speak with authority.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

2. Good for Hilly. She can definitely use them to her advantage.

3. Yes, very telling that they are acting as Clinton surrogates rather for Sanders.

Women know what she has done and will do for their causes.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

6. More like Hilly knows how to exploit tragedy.

Jus sayin is all.

[KingFlorez]

7. Their voices matter and they opted to speak out

I think it's really good that they stepped up to the plate. Had they stepped up for Sanders would you have been making this sort of comment?

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

10. That would be like comparing apples to oranges.

I don't trust Hilly.

I certainly don't trust Private Prison Hilly, or...

Bring them to heel Hilly, or...

Do anything to get elected Hilly.

4. Bernie doesn't stand a chance!

5. I judge people by what they do when nobody is watching.

In December, Ms. Reed-Veal, the mother of Ms. Bland, received a Christmas card in the mail. “I know this is the first holiday without your baby,” the neat cursive handwriting read. “Just know, I’m thinking of you.” It was signed, “Hillary.” She received another note from Mrs. Clinton when a grand jury declined to indict anyone in her daughter’s death.

8. I guess the numbers are tightening if she needs to call in reinforcements.

[Godhumor]

9. Or she's decided to run up the margin

If we're going to call these women "reinforcements".
