Wait: it is O.K. that Biden does not campaign a lot (or at all). He didn't in many Super Tuesday states, especially in the South. Now Sanders MUST campaign, and invest time (his own) and resources (staff, money) and activate volunteers, etc. Sanders does not have clones and while his org is large, they still have limited resources.
He did not have a BLACK surrogate to come on ? the show is in D.C. - that is not where the action was before mini Super Tuesday !
And what would be wrong with the surrogate of another race, as long as they understand the strategy regarding the outreach to black voters ?
I guess Jesse Jackson or Harry Belafonte were not available and wouldn't travel to D.C.
Nina Turner and his campaign speaker were busy - in Michigan ! Which at that day was more important than anything else (that video has 18,000 views, the channels has not even 500,000 subscriptions, just checked it, no it is not a spin off from TV, these ARE the views, that would certainly not warrant to neglect Michigan when it is so important).
Well they all were busy campaigning in Michigan because they have to EARN the vote, Biden gets it by being the VP of Obama, with the help of Corporate media and of billionaires now paying for his ads, and of course he was a big number in the Clinton era.
During that time he did a lot to devastate black communities, but he is lucky, he get's a pass.
Sanders doesn't get one for not being able to change the opinion in a country of 330 milion people despite the media misleading voters about him.
Just ONE example I have lived in countries with single payer, half the spending per person than the U.S. (well 54 % and 56 % Austria and Germany) and good services. I have yet to hear a nuanced good faith, knowledeable factual conversation on Corporate media about that issue. Two exceptions: an interview by Chris Hayes and by Velshi: he is Canadian, so he can't help himself he "gets" single payer. Needless to say now his partner Ruhle covers healthcare now inorder to put on the spin that is liked by advertisers and owners of the networks.
Biden wasn't present in Alabama for instance, no rallies no ground game. Won in a landslide. Now, that is fine for him that he can win on name recognition only. he also did not campaign in 2012 or later there, did he ? Unlikely, because the state is red in the general and Obama did not have a primary in 2012.
Biden ran in the primaries of 2008 for a short time, so I am sure that he showed up in the South. They sure are loyal in the South.
