While African Americans comprise thirteen percent of the population they provide Democratic presidential candidates with over 25% of their votes. In fact the last Democrat to win a plurality or majority of the white vote was Lyndon Baines Johnson. They are indispensable.

Fast forward to today. Debbie Stabenow a white Democrat, running for re-election lost the white vote 45-53 to an African American Republican while winning the African American vote 90-8.

You can't buy that kind of party loyalty.

Every person with a D after his or name who runs for office benefits from this huge built in advantage. Ralph Northam abused it, and if for no other reason he has to go.

2. Something to ponder.

Always wondered why Economically suppressed White Voters keep voting for the Rethugs,then after working Campaigns for more than fifty years,the only proven reason is Racism. LBJ was so right on about how this plays out. Convince the poorest White Man that he is better than any Black Man and History is replete with the evidence.
