Slightly off topic...

Besides dumb, Patty Murray is also a white Democrat.

Saw some very interesting numbers yesterday, from a “Weekly Standard” e-newsletter, as I recall.

46% of the people who voted for Barack Obama in 2012 were non-white.

But, less than 10% of Democrat Senators and Governors are non-white.

Also, as recently as 2012, no Black Democrat has ever been elected from a majority white Congressional District.

In sharp contrast, the “racist” Republican Party, which gets only 5% of the Black vote, has elected 3 Black Republicans from majority white Congressional Districts!

Re: “But, less than 10% of Democrat Senators and Governors are non-white.”

I calculated the exact numbers.

Only 4.6% of the Democrat Senators and Governors are non-white.

Two are native born Hawaiians.

One is a Black Senator, Cory Booker, from New Jersey.

I counted 3 “Independents” as Democrat.

Two are Senators who caucus with the Democrats.

One is the “Independent” Governor of Alaska, a former Republican, who chose the Democrat nominee as his running mate!
