    Astead Retweeted Bloomberg

    One of Joe Biden's biggest advantages in this race on his white competitors is that he's been campaigning in black communities for 30+ years and that has created more than relationships, but a level of comfort.https://twitter.com/business/status/1236510359785275392 …

    Bernie Sanders scrapped a speech Saturday night that was supposed to make the case for why black voters should support him -- after determining it would be better for the black participants at the event to speak on the topic https://trib.al/to9XAdq

        How much of it is comfort with Joe Biden than a calculation that they think swing state voters will go for Biden in a general against trump? I'm not sure what about Biden that makes him comfortable in communities that are damaged by his policies.

        Bernie singlehanded tanked our chances for immigration reform for what will probably be 25-50 years and yet Latinos appreciate him for what he is doing today. See how that works? Votes have unintended consequences, but most people understand what the intent was.

        "comfort" is a good word for the ethos that Biden is shooting for.

        Biden has caused so much harm to the black community. I am so angry that being Obama’s VP has absolved him in the eyes of some voters

        Nobody is perfect. All the candidates had race problems. Biden's work as VP is what everyone remembers
