I have to wonder if he thinks that the few blacks who are sophisticated enough to realize that he is advocating policies that tend to harm blacks disproportionately will support him because of the racial bond. If so, that would imply that he is a racist of one of the worst kinds, he is willing to tread upon "his own people" for personal gain. "1 - He believes there will be no significant harm. He honestly believe it won't increase unemployment. " I doubt he is that stupid. Perhaps I overestimate him. "2 - He recognizes that it will harm some, but thinks the benefit for those that do keep their jobs and get more will outweigh this harm." Which would imply that he is using race for his benefit even though he recognises no such affinity personally. this again leads one to the conclusion he is one of the worst kind of racists. "3 - He thinks that its immoral to pay anyone less than what he considers a minimum living wage, and he isn't concerned about, or at least isn't focusing on the practical results." Again, I may be overestimating his intelligence. "4 - He's just following a standard Democratic talking point without a lot of thought." See comment about overestimation. "5 - He recognizes its causing him harm, but figures it will be politically advantageous of him to push the idea, so he makes the cynical decision to push it." This implies he is just a cynical politician who has no moral compunctions. He may be smart, and not being a racist but he should be kept from power because he lusts after it. It is clear that Senator Clinton lusts after power. This is the single most important reason she must be denied it. The lying and dishonesty are part of the proof and justification.
