Speaking of Bernie and Hillary...

On Sunday, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders sat in front row pews opposite each other for Sunday service at Victory Missionary Baptist church in Las Vegas. Last week, Sanders met the Rev Al Sharpton in New York. On Tuesday, Clinton arrived in New York to meet Sharpton and a group of prominent civil rights leaders, many of whom Sanders will meet later this week.

And for much of the day, the candidates held duelling events. While Clinton delivered a major speech on race in Harlem, Sanders headed to Georgia where he will continue his tour of historically black colleges and universities.

That strikes me as a shrewd move on Bernie's part. Get to the young voters who can be energized to go out to vote. Don't waste much time on old folks set in their ways, minds already made up, or who are too sick of the whole stinking business to care.
“You can’t just show up at election time and say the right things and think that’s enough. We can’t start building relationships a few weeks before a vote,” [Clinton] said to applause.
Wanna bet?

 


And, this is more than "a few weeks".

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
