Pete could also do well in states like California, which votes early in the process this year. In fact if you're in the military in California, you can actually vote /before/ the Iowa Caucus. But even regular people can vote in Cali before the South Carolina primary.

Does anybody have the actual data on the composition of the DNC electorate from 2016? What percentage is black? 20%?

id say his big advantage is that the worst thing hes got going for him is that hes gay.

all he has to do is come to the table with some of that sweet middle class security pillow talk and he should be fine.

that said, we got trump because we let a black guy in the white house.

i think a lot of people are going to wonder what direction the pendulum swings in 8 years if they elect a gay guy.
