What Went Down At The Fourth Democratic Debate

https://twitter.com/LaaaaLaLaLaLaXu/status/688903786056781824 A:Lala, I wonder if the governor thing isn’t a bit of a myth. Of the past nine major party nominees — Obama, Romney, McCain, Kerry, Bush 43, Gore, (Bill) Clinton, Dole, Bush 41 — only three formerly served as governors.

Right out of the gate, Hillary Clinton mentions Martin Luther King Jr., potentially because she recognizes her base. While Bernie Sanders has a higher net favorability rating among white Democrats nationwide per Gallup, Clinton holds a +77 percentage point net favorability rating among black Democrats. Sanders holds only a +29 percentage point net favorability rating among black Democrats. That’s up only 8 percentage points from November. If Sanders wants to win this election, he’ll have to do better than that among black Democrats.
