And it isn't reasonable to expect HRC to do as well with African-American voters as Barack Obama did. Turnout was likely to be higher for the first black president. But her performance was about the same as John Kerry. And that is impressive given that voter suppression laws have been implemented since then. She outperformed Kerry in states that did not set out to suppress the vote with photo ID laws.
And why would we believe that Bernie Sanders would have done better. The whole reason he wasn't the nominee is because she crushed him among minority voters.
