You conspiracy theorists always think something's being hidden. Let's see Cruz's birth certificate, college transcripts, and public speeches.

I can't imagine a Senator (Cruz) would be allowed to give paid speeches while in office.

Losing one out of two primaries means she's finished?
Looks like Cruz is finished also, then.

You are supporting Sanders right?

Yes. I'm just defending Hillary against the haters, not supporting her in the election.

Why? What's Hillary done for minorities?

Why? As a white male I can't answer personally but from what I gather from reading on the subject there are two reasons. 1) Her husband still has pretty strong positive ratings in the black community so she benefits from that and 2) she has spoken more about black issues than Bernie has
Now it's possible of course Bernie could gain ground on her with black voters but as of today I'm not putting a lot of money on it.

But many of her haters are Democrats

Still having trouble imagining sitting Senators giving paid speeches, Cawacko?

That may be true but I can only deal with the haters on this forum.

But she hasn't actually done anything for black voters. If I was Bernie I'd be pointing that out.
I wouldn't count Bernie out with the Black and Tan vote.

This guy writes a column twice a week for the SF Chronicle's website. He's about as liberal as liberal gets. I generally don't have a problem reading some liberal writers but this guy drives me f'ing nuts. Yet I still read him (shaking my head at myself). If you remember the old poster Ornotbitwise (miss that dude) he called Mark Morford (the author) a special dessert treat to read.
Now generally he just rips on God, religious right wingers, the GOP etc. In today's column he actually writes/complains about the vitral (is that a word?) he see's from Bernie supporters for Hillary.

I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

What has Bernie done?
Tan vote? You mean Hispanics? Hillary has called for going farther than Obama on his executive order to not deport people. Bernie hasn't come close to that.

They can't possibly like him because he comes across as anti-establishment, huh!
No, it's the free stuff.

They must love him because of the way urban crime skyrocketed during his presidency.

Black and Tan is an irreverent stab at identity politics.
Hillary has gone farther in ignoring the law. Wonderful.

Identity politics or not Republicans cannot win with the white vote only and need to step up their efforts to court minority voters, especially Hispanic voters.

Why can't republicans just say they're going to do what's good for the country, and in effect, everyone?
