On and off the campaign trail in the Carolinas, voters say they have ‘no hard feelings’ toward Hillary Clinton. They say the opposite about Republicans.
Bryan Burns could not make up his mind. Here was this African-American voter in khaki shorts, a v-neck T-shirt and black-rimmed eyeglasses, browsing shops at the Crabtree Valley Mall, on a swelteringly hot Friday in the not-yet summer of the American south.
And there was Hillary Clinton, who needs to win the minds of exactly this kind of voter, a 30-year-old Virginia native who has spent the last decade living in North Carolina, a state that all but ended Clinton’s 2008 presidential run against Barack Obama. Although he follows politics closely, Burns is not yet fully engaged in the next contest for the American presidency, despite around-the-clock election coverage by the media, and despite Clinton already courting people like him around the country.
As he juggled several shopping bags on his way toward another department store, Burns was unsure but knew this: The image Clinton projects – that of a strong woman – should resonate with the crucial black vote in the Carolinas, potentially helping her to secure enough early momentum in the critical primary state of South Carolina to make the old battleground of North Carolina competitive again.
Not that Republicans are poised to win over people like Bryan Burns to begin with....

do remember the 4F club ... Should I explain or does anyone remember the 4F club?
....and just as overwhelmngly disappointed.
Wow, it’s almost like this enterprising young “journalist,” formerly from HuffPo, has an agenda to push.
agendas are nearly always 4F
my apology ... told a lie ... all agendas are 4F
Well, not knowing what the 4F Club promoted, participated in, I’m just left out all alone in the FR-comment cold.
dang should have never quit ‘smokin’ The doc asked me recently if there was anything I wanted and I said, ‘Doc, do you have a cigerette?’
It’s funny, poor democrats are being drawn to the wealth of Hillary, a wealth she will never give up to the poor. And once again just as with Obama, the poor will continue to get poorer
forgo 8 p.m. no awards ... nothing but noises ... and 4F is a school boy’s dream
I guess my IQ stayed in bed today. I have no clue what you’re referencing.
amen ... doing a ‘walk on by’ and ‘telling a story’
IOW, some partisan media shills write a puff piece in support of a second Clinton presidency, instead of burning Bonnie and Clyde at the stake for their corruptions and crimes. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
"Obama ain't running ... I ain't votin'. Ain't voted before, ain't votin' again. Damn."
I'm guessing that some of the Dem turnout won't be turning out.
Jeb Bush is Hillary’s best chance to be President.
The media can’t shut up about motivated black women voting for Obama because, well, you know.
Those same motivated black women are the kind that can’t stand preachy fussbudget white women (see also: OJ jury & Marcia Clark).
The lefties are whistling past the graveyard about their post-Obama turnout.
I have said it before and I say it again. the black voter turnout in 2016 will come no where near what it was in the two previous elections when Obama was on the ballot. I predict that the black vote will be 7 to 10 percent less in 2016. that can make a big difference in this election.
