Post and Courier ^ | 8/18/18 | EUGENE SCOTT

**SNIP**

Since Hillary Clinton’s loss in the 2016 presidential election, much conversation has taken place about black Americans’ loyalty to the Democratic Party.

Since the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the party has regularly received the overwhelming majority of black votes. But some have questioned how committed the Democratic Party is to its most loyal constituency.

Young vs. black?

They have young. They have black. They don’t have gifted.

A young Socialist or an old one?

A gay Socialist, or a straight one?

A black Socialist, woman Socialist, trans-gender Socialist, Hispanic Socialist, un-documented Socialist...

At this point, what difference does it make?

I want Pelosi to stay right where she is. She is an asset to the Republican Party.

I wish marble mouth would exit stage left.

Not at all. Geriatric multimillionaire Pelosi, corrupt swamp member, driving angry young Democrats to Latino socialist crackpots is a good thing.

Let her stick around a little longer.

So they re looking for someone that looks like they can fill the part rather than find someone that has the skills to do the job... I support the dems on this. Let them pick all the incompetent talking heads they want to be their leader. The dumber and more spokes model looking the better. The would soon be racking up election loss after election loss.

A hetero male who identifies as a man would be a Democrat Moderate if not Hard Right.

For whatever a moderate means in the Democratic party.

The last moderate democrat was George W. Bush.

I suppose whoever could do the best job is out of the question.

Meanwhile on Capital Hill:

Trump hugs, kisses and holds hands with mom of gunned-down NYPD cop as he hails her service and that of other fallen officers and demands death penalty for ALL police killers

Detective Miosotis Familia died in the line of duty in July of 2017 in New York

Trump invited her relatives to join him on stage at a memorial service for slain police on Capitol Hill President gave the officer's mother, Adrianna Valoy, a long hug, kissing her on the cheek and forehead and asking the audience for more applause

Familia's three surviving children joined the president and their grandmother on stage at the event Trump asked Familia's patrol partner to deliver impromptu remarks Officer Vincent Maher said, 'She was an incredible person, and she is missed by the family'

The Demonicrats are looking to their leader, who answers to the name of “Beelzebub.”

If the democrats chose based on ability rather than identity politics, they might already have won. However, if they cared about ability, a democrat win would not be the catastrophe that their identity politics guarantees.

Something far left of McCain.

A 21-year-old couldn’t be elected to Congress. Age discrimination, I know, but it’s in the Constitution.
