MSNBC's Krystal Ball: Dems Take Black Vote For Granted, Rand Paul "Courageous"

KRYSTAL BALL: I think it is cowardice, if you want to be a leader in this country, if you want to be the leader of the Democratic Party not to say anything. I didn't thin what Rand Paul said was counterproductive. I thought it was courageous, and I find it sad that no Democrat -- and I put the president in a separate category, I think he is handling things appropriately and letting the Justice Department handle things as he should -- but I find it sad that no national Democrat is up to the task here, and I think it goes to the fact here that Democrats are by and large take the black vote for granted.
