Apparently, that party’s worst fears were confirmed last night as there is very little mention of any polling data on Black voters. This is a stark difference from our last general elections.
For me, this is very disturbing because what it shows is that there is still this perception out there that the only change that is required is at the top. Never mind the people who run local precincts (who b.t.w. have much more influence on day to day issues than the President).

They go with Option B.
The Republican party did not get any better. They were just the other option.
