But I bet that if we told voters that Clinton was for single payer health care, public funding of elections so anyone can run for office and against the TPP they would support that.
Hillary was for single payer health care. That was the original plan she came up with during Bill's presidency. Nobody else seemed to like it, so she dropped it.
You are linking to an article that thinks palestinian rights is important for elderly black women in SC. He won overwhelmingly among white men in SC, but let's get real. Hillary didnt win 99% of the vote among elderly black women in SC because of Palestinians. They know who she is. They dont know Bernie. Its as simple as that. They had made up their mind more than a month ago according to polls. In other words, they ignored Iowa, NH, Nevada. Sanders never stood a chance in SC.
Same as Hillary, Sanders CANNOT win the white men vote against Trump either.
Actually, working class white men is Trump's strongpoint and Sanders is showing that he is much stronger than Hillary among this group so far in all the states we've had primaries and caucuses. Working class white men are far more likely swing voters than elderly black women. Sanders gets the black vote in a general election but also is chipping away at the working class white male vote, unlike Hillary.
Hard core Democrats started liking Hillary again when she made her unwavering and stoic appearances in front of the Republican Benghazi hearings. They see her as a tough old broad who is like a stone wall in the face of hurricane force opposition.
I agree on this too. I think this is also at least part of the reason why the Democrats don't really care who she has to face in November. If the Republican wants to get in the mud and wrestle, Hillary will be right there wrestling too.

But if the black vote is this weak with Bernie, what makes you think Blacks won't just stay home then on Election day? Even if they support Dems. 90%, their turnout itself can drop...basically 90% of 100k vs 90% of 50k(just hypothetical to get a point across).
If Bernie loses black turnout, he will lose states like Ohio, Florida, Virginia, and NC which have decent black populations where losing 5k black votes gives the state over to the GOP. Go look at the margins in these states in 2008. The black voter turnout increase changed these states over to blue.

Romney got all the working class white men in 2012. He still lost. There are more minorities and more women and that's where Republicans are weak.
