   “Women of color who voiced swift, angry challenge to power are discomfiting, so let’s scold them for incivility, then present the white women who were most unwilling to rebuke the powerful and frame THEM as leaders!” is an extremely old song.

   They are talking about the Governor’s race in Louisiana

   One day we're going to have an honest conversation in this country about why the majority of white voters *always* vote against Dems and why 39% of white support for D's is "a lot." https://t.co/N2ws6uG5bG

   Sen. @EWarren has a largely white crowd here today at Clinton College – which is an HBCU.

   Here’s a story @apwillweissert and @emarvelous filed yesterday that explains why it's important for her to turn this around if she hopes to win South Carolina. https://t.co/s5nYYcIYVC

   Hillary Clinton didn’t have these kinds of demographic questions in the primary, and pretty much everyone believes a Democratic nominee will need to do better than her at turning out Black voters in the general. Pretty skeptical that Warren can do that.

Now Warren will get political attacks and media scrunity. Potential for more Native American claims to arise https://t.co/YPBIY0BZBd
