“I think this whole party has a problem. This is the whitest field that we have seen since 1992. There’s no Sharpton. There’s no Carol Moseley Braun. There’s no non-white people there, and this is a party that has to get, not 60%, not 70%, not 90%, but 94% of the black vote to win. This is a big problem for the whole party. The Clintons get the black vote by default, but nobody has made a case yet Jake, that they can do better. If Biden gets in, he might be able to make that case, but Bernie Sanders has so much room to grow with the black vote, he should take the opportunity tomorrow to make his case why a white guy from Vermont should get the support of a party with that much black participation.”
