(68 posts)Jim Clyburns heartfelt endorsement was seismic, typically endorsements don't carry as much weight in the grand scheme of elections, something unprecedented happened after Clyburn's endorsement that will be used in future studies.
As much as I appreciate senator Warren for the work she does, she has a BIG negative, it was her inability to gain traction with black voters, particularly black women voters.
There's an undeniable truth, it's that the "heart & soul" of the democratic party is it's black women voters, no other democratic voter constituency is more reliable. It would seem to me that by choosing senator Warren, Biden could risk alienating black voters, who without them he would have been written off had it not been for an endorsement for the ages.
I don't mean to suggest that Biden simply choose a black woman, I mean that he be very deliberate looking over the best qualified candidates to choose from, but to keep in mind that to reach the WH he can't get there without the Heart & Soul taking him there.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
