COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa As Peter Johnson and Emily Neal waited for Senator Kirsten Gillibrand to arrive at Barleys, a brick-lined sports bar in southwestern Iowa, they gamed out possible nominees in the Democratic presidential primary. Mr. Johnson, a 27-year-old law student, said the large field was a great equalizer, and if at the end of it we get an old white guy, someone who represents the status quo, itll be because theyve proven themselves. Ms. Neal, a dental hygienist, made an agonized face at Mr. Johnson, her boyfriend. Wouldnt something be lost, she asked, if the historically diverse slate of 2020 Democrats was passed over?

She kneels at the altar of “diversity”. Being right for the job does not matter.

No. By all rights it should be a disabled, trans-gendered black lesbian from central America.

Qualifications and experience should matter, NOT gender, color or race.

Wow. The NYT officially endorses racism. And not for the first time.

"historically diverse slate"
Interesting choice of words.
Slate can be gray, green or blueish and can be easily divided.

Definitely not. I would recommend a militant Communist minority transgendered woman...you know, somebody who will click with mainstream voters.

Only if you add “moslem” to the mix can it meet the minimums for a good democrap pick (and married to a Somalia/Mexican that last was employed in a strip bar.
Only then am I crossing over to vote for such a fine human specimen.

Not exactly.
The Donks embrace transgenders and their medical journey to achieve sex change.
So why not a race change, a few little gene therapy tweaks could easily change any politicians skin color!

Mitt Romney is vying for the job.

The Democrat Party should be banned and outlawed , altogether , 100%
It has become nothing but a socialist subversive anti-America treason cabal . Populated by people that are so stupid and disloyal that they should not even hold the right to vote .
To hell with all of them .
It’s time to slam the door on this chapter of our history .
Say the word Mr. Prez , we are more than willing to help you expunge this rotten cancer .

It may be a diverse field in terms of race, gender and now sexual preference, but the entire RAT field of presidential candidates is one socialist after another. From Mayor Pete to Spartacus to Fauxahontas to Comrade Sanders. No thanks!
