173. POC overwhelmingly support Sanders and Clinton.

Mon May 23, 2016, 09:17 AM

May 2016

A majority are informed voters and are supporting the proper two candidates, in my opinion. Sanders base thoughts on economic equality are important to all POC. Overwhelmingly, they know Sanders doesn't have the clout to deliver. That doesn't mean that aspect of his message is any less important or not worthy of their support.

It's the minorities supporting Trump that I don't get.
