CHARLESTON, S.C. - His message is uninspiring. His ground game is flawed. After Iowa and New Hampshire, theyre no longer convinced he can beat Donald Trump.
Interviews with two dozen South Carolina lawmakers, consultants and voters here suggests there are deep cracks in Joe Bidens firewall state, where his campaign expects to turn his misfortunes around with a robust victory that highlights his broad-based support - particularly among African Americans.
**SNIP**
But his advantage has gradually eroded. In a state where African Americans cast 61 percent of the primary vote in 2016, a February Quinnipiac poll showed Biden's support among African-Americans at 27 percent - a 22-point slip from before the Iowa caucus. While almost no one is willing to predict a Biden defeat here, many point to worrisome signs about the state of his campaign.
During a get-out-the-vote effort Wednesday in a North Charleston neighborhood just blocks away from Bidens offices, members of the media rivaled the number of volunteers present. Some prominent black state leaders expected to be firmly in Bidens camp have migrated to other campaigns, namely those of Tom Steyer and Bernie Sanders.
Dahli Myers, vice chair of the Richland County Council and a former Biden supporter, said she switched allegiances to Sanders after warning several Biden staffers that their grassroots approach was outdated. His get-out-the-vote strategy, she said, was too tailored to older voters and his message of electability too broad to be convincing.

Thats a bunch of malarkey! All Biden has to do is put in an appearance at a few bingo games and hell be back on top.
They keep using the term “firewall”. I think it’s odd usage. What’s on fire? Are they trying to stop the fire? Are they protecting Joe from the fire?
There are deep cracks in Bidens’ brain and his son is on crack.
Blacks are taken advantage of by these Democrats who have RUINED their Schools, Their Homes, etc.....WHEN WILL BLACKS WAKE UP??
Brainfriden is toast.
Most blacks enjoy Plantation life.
Biden never had anything more than name-recognition.
The more voters saw of him, the more they saw he was not mentally fit to go up against Trump.
Even Democrats are tired of entrenched politicians for life....but they give Bernie a pass because he is less well known.
Joe has a dream for black students—he wants them to be as dumb as he is!
Most blacks enjoy Plantation life.
Really, and how would you know that?
Biden wants to know are there any black girls in the audience between the age of 11-15?
Sadly, Biden can get away with a history of thinly veiled racist remarks that if Trump had said even a shadow of would have ended his career. Instead, many but not all black people will ignore his long history of such remarks and vote for him in the primary.
Because no matter that Black unemployment is at its lowest in history.
And that wages are up for working class Americans including blacks.
And that Trump has sincerely reached out to black Americans,
Most Black Americans will vote to remain on the RAT Plantation.

The unfrozen caveman strategy.
Orange man bad.
Quid Pro Joe good.
Agreed! It's a strange use of the term.
17 posts and no one has accused you of being a lying dog-faced pony soldier.

Because that’s where they choose to stay, obviously.
