Hard to believe they (e.g. Sanders) are going to succeed in convincing African-Americans the Clinton years were bad for African-Americans.

@kausmickey Black people are saying it. Crime bill, gutting of welfare
@kausmickey I can’t tell. Is this sarcasm?
@kausmickey That’s not the strategy. They have positive message for future: Medicare-for-all is better for African-Americans than Obamacare.
@kausmickey That’s just 1 example. It’s not about tearing Clinton down, it’s presenting better plan (not influenced by Wall St) for future.
@kausmickey A unique tech boom decade, when WJC was dragged kicking and screaming into balanced budgets & welfare reform. Then took credit!
@kausmickey he going to say incarcerations for blacks spiked under clinton admin
@kausmickey The 1990’s unique tech boom decade produced tremendous capital gains enabling the possiblity of balanced budgets. Unusual times.
@kausmickey I’m sure they’ll be woo’d by his authentic Vermont accent
@kausmickey they’re attacking Clinton’s 3 Strikes law; incarceration of AAs; w/o regard that almost all AA crime victims at hands of AAs.
@kausmickey @michellemalkin @TheFive
Its been hard on Afr Amrcns since LBJ’s re-enslavement act … Er, I mean Great Society DNC is a joke
@kausmickey How about minimum sentencing, mass incarceration, and stepping up the war on drugs. Clinton has a lot of exposure re black vote.
@kausmickey Does the younger generation have any knowledge of what it was like under President Clinton?
@kausmickey weren’t the Clinton years, really the @newtgingrich years? And their accomplishment was welfare reform?
@kausmickey If he gets the vote of White Democrats, he only needs to split non-whites.
@kausmickey @tanehisicoates doesn’t like the Clinton crime bill.
@kausmickey Have you been following the farce of the Democrat Party super delegates? It won’t be Bernie or Hillary they choose.
@kausmickey Yeah, but Hillary want to be like Barry, not like Bill. She’s a big loser.
@kausmickey “Three strikes you’re out” put a lot of blacks in jail, albeit it WAS meant to help black communities. Hurt ’em though.
@kausmickey Crime bill leading to incarceration nation? Or the rest of The Nation article.
