If it truly is a standard line among blacks that whites cheered Obama in public but voted against him in private, they should remember that it was a Democrat primary and therefore these were Democrats lying. However, it could just as easily be said that the voters told pollsters they were voting for Obama because they were too embarrassed to admit they were voting for Hillary. In either case , I think lying to pollsters is something that should be encouraged as much as possible. If this trend continues, politicians will be forced to say what they think rather than what they think we want to hear.
