And, as we know from the primary, the black vote is very elastic and switches over as soon as a newcomer saying nice-sounding things shows up.

If you need me to explain why black voters were more excited about Obama than they will ever be for Clinton then you're beyond help.

I'm not saying there isn't a general upward trend of black voter participation, which is good, but it's about to fall off a cliff for 2016 compared to the last two Presidential elections.

They seem to be very excited for Clinton now, and they were back in 2008 before Obama proved himself. The black community has been engaged in this election in a capacity it hasn't in a long time because both campaigns need their votes. Like nobody is saying were going to see exactly the same turn out but there is no evidence to support "a drop off a cliff".

Guess we should nominate the guy who gets 3% of the vote with certain African American groups

Lol if you think that statement from Trump is in any way a move to the left. It's going to be yet more parroting about how black people are lazy and we need to "incentivize" them to want to work by essentially making their lives worse.

Pretty sure that once Bill Clinton, the Obama family, Warren, and Sanders are all doing "get out the vote or trump will kill you" campaigns, that turnout will be okay.

Yeah anybody who thinks the entire Democratic establishment including Mr. Sanders isn't going to go scorched earth to retain the white house is way too pessimistic

Yes, I'm sure black voters will shift en masse to the candidate who sneeringly proclaims "all lives matter" as black protestors are forcibly dragged out of his events

So are you part of the Clinton Campaign or what? Beating a Jewish socialist among black voters doesn't mean they're excited about her in the same way they were about Obama, holy poo poo.

Remember the only reason DWS still has a job is because when Obama tried to get her removed, she threatened to call him a Jew-hating sexist

You are ignoring:

-Clinton's having very strong ties to the black community going back to the 90's

-Her being endorsed by multiple very high profile black community leaders

-Obama personally saying he will do his absolute best to get people out and voting in November

-Hillary working very hard to court the black vote this cycle.

Why are you so drat hostile.
