This was the main reason Sanders was never taken seriously in 2016 juliuswest Feb 2020 #6

It's why the race was over on Super Tuesday in 2016. Sanders was getting crushed among POC. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #7

The generational dynamic I think makes this quite apparent.

...if the entrance polls can be trusted (which is always iffy), it's clear that Biden is the only other candidate who has a chance. Of course, I think that was already pretty apparent. No other candidate has sufficient support among POC. That's why Buttigieg, Klobuchar and Warren have no path. It's really that simple.

Especially among Black folks. I still recall all of the ridiculous DU posts in 2016 from Sanders supporters insisting that he still had a chance, even a really good chance, well after Super Tuesday.

Now, though, holy crap! The diversity of his support is just amazing.
