I would submit that the DemocRAT strategy going forward is to run preferred minority, female, or minority female candidates for President and dare the Republicans to take them on. It’s worked so far for Obama.

I would further submit that the cowardice of the Republican Party during Obama’s first four years weakened it substantially, and the current war on conservatives by the GOP-e has sealed its fate.

I’ve been called a lot worst things than racist, and the person doing the calling has not fared well afterward.

I know people who disagree with obama on Israel. Yet they still worship him.

I know people who disagree with him on his SC appointments. Yet they still worship him.

I know gun owners who disagree with him on gun control. Yet they still worship him.

And all these people will call anyone a racist who disagrees with him on the same issues.

The fact the gop allowed Powell, Hagel and others like him show they’re not a conservative party. They’re only a few years away from being extinct. If they won’t go ahead and join the democrat party, it’s time for a third party.
