FULLERTON, Calif. — The Democrats’ message to Mai Khanh Tran was polite but unsparing. With half a dozen Democrats running for Congress in her Orange County district, they showed her a discouraging poll and argued that she could not win — and risked fracturing the party in the June primary election.
Ms. Tran pointedly replied that she was “the only qualified woman, the only immigrant and the only physician in the race.”
“I said to them, frankly, let the voters decide,” recalled Ms. Tran, a pediatrician.
The national Democratic Party was not chastened: On Wednesday, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee took sides in that House race and backed Gil Cisneros, a Navy veteran and former Republican.
With their forceful intervention in Orange County, national Democrats have lunged into an impatient new phase of the 2018 primary season — one in which they are clashing more openly with candidates and local political chieftains in their drive to assemble a slate of recruits for the midterms.

Democrats are not comfortable with that idea.
The Democratic establishment gets to decide.
The Uniparty takes care of its own.
Democrats are not comfortable with that idea.
They like it when dead voters decide, though.
“the only qualified woman, the only immigrant and the only physician in the race.”
She’s got the entitlement crap down
They vote overwhelmingly Democrat.
“I said to them, frankly, let the voters decide,” recalled Ms. Tran, a pediatrician.“
Ms. Tran?…try Dr. Tran
So Tran runs on her gender, non natural born citizenry, and her occupation
No mention of the issues

The big news is that the Vietnamese who fled communism and were staunch Republicans for more than a generation are abandoning the Republican party. That is the real dispiriting news from this article....
It’s sad after the Democrats sold her country down the river in the mid-70’s. I spoke to one of the boat people who spent 4 days out to sea risking their lives to escape. Pirates took advantage. Some came on board and raped the girls. Nothing they could do but watch. Now she runs as a democrat. That’s even more sick.
Most immigrants vote for the resemblance of the sh*thole from where they came. It is a human weakness and psycalogical deficiency. It is the mindset of the left to think the USA can carry out Socialism better than any other country.
She probably is ignorant of the Vietnamese “boat people”.

It’s the New York Slimes my FRiend. Don’t let their bullcrap dispirite you.
Back in the late 70s to early 80s that Democrats from bottom up hated the Vietnamese immigrants and did not want them here. At that time, where I lived (SFO bay area) the local GOP party did a lot to help these people, they asked the Republican rank and file to do what they could to help these poor people who had lost everything. It was amazing to me just how ugly rank and file democrats were about allowing these pitiful traumatized people to come into our country. It was sickening. It is really hard to understand how this woman could possibly be a democrat, except that in California if you are not a democrat you probably won’t hold office. It may be what we are actually seeing here is RINO versus conservative Republican dressed up as democrats.
I'll bet they are against anyone named Tran running.
They are Trans-phobic.
Republicans have a massive opportunity with the Asian-American vote, if they don’t remain too stupid to grab it
