Black voters just aren’t that excited about Hillary Clinton and it has her campaign in “full panic mode,” according to Leslie Wimes, the president of the Democratic African-American Women Caucus.

Clinton is headed to the key battleground state of Florida in hopes she can win over the black community, but she’s fighting an uphill battle on the heels of Barack Obama. And despite the president and his wife Michelle going to bat for Clinton, the enthusiasm just isn’t there.

Wimes said, “They have a big problem because they thought Obama and Michelle saying, ‘Hey, go vote for Hillary’ would do it. But it’s not enough.” Wimes said there are plenty of anti-Trump folks in the black community but not enough that are pro-Clinton. That’s going to be a big problem because that will keep voters away on election day.

Compare this cycle to Obama’s enthusiastic crowds back in 2008 and 2012. The only other person to get voters this excited in the inner cities was the “real” first black president, Bill Clinton.

Add to the boring mix of Mrs. “Wishes She Was” Bill Clinton is her bland VP pick Tim Kaine who has been on the Trump attack in Florida with such desperate acts as bringing up the birther issue, which was started by the Clinton campaign in 2008, and even worse saying Trump has “Ku Klux Klan values.”

But black leaders like Sheriff David Clarke keeps saying this: blacks are getting wise to these Democratic tactics and they’ve had enough. They see through Clinton’s veil of deception. Two first-time voters spoke to Politico and said they believe most of the time, Clinton’s attempts to reach the black community “comes across as pandering,” especially when she only mentions it when a police shooting happens.

Even the Florida Democratic Black Caucus president Henry Crespo has noticed the lack of enthusiasm:

“No one is writing songs for Hillary. Obama had will.i.am. Hillary has nobody like that. Right now, the vote is against Trump. It’s not for Hillary. I still think she’s going to win. But you want your people to be for your candidate, not just against the other guy.”

If Clinton does win, it’s to the detriment of the black community who will continue to be stuck on the path they are on now. With her back in the White House, they’ll see that black lives don’t matter, just like they didn’t in the ‘90s.
