In two districts once believed to be Hillary Clinton strongholds, the state senators from Harlem and Queens — Bill Perkins and James Sanders Jr. — will endorse Bernie Sanders instead, the Daily News has learned exclusively.

Great, but it will make no difference in the ultimate outcome of Democratic primaries and nomination. Let's keep it real.

I think the notion, that King Hillary will get the same Black vote that Obama got, is nothing more than nonsense. The Clintions were accused of racism in 2008 and I'm not sure why that would be forgotten now.

It really is going to be interesting to see come Primaries how the Democrats will switch Sanders 90% win to Hillarys' 10%.

Harlem and Southeasatern Queens is usually a Democratic stronghold. We'll see how the people of New York vote, that's if Clinton gets the nomination by then.

You do realize that people said that about Obama at this point in 2007? And, note, Hillary had a similar national lead in the polls then against Obama as she does against Sanders now. I, for one, hope that Sanders doesn't get the nomination as I believe he'd be tougher to defeat than Hillary.

Iowa is up for grabs, and New Hampshire is Sanders.
If Sanders takes the first two states and then increases support
among blacks like this, South Carolina could be interesting.

Hillary was rejected because Obama was promising many of the same things Sanders is now and it was known that Hillary would just be more of the same.

Sanders has a history of actually supporting these things for years while Obama lied about supporting these positions. There are many on the left just as mad about these lies just the same as those on the right that are supporting Trump because of the lies of the GOP.
