We should all be pulling for the racist, Muslim, Jew hating and white
hating Ellison. He is the perfect fit for the RATs.

Live by the race card and die by it.


Indeed. I think the 2020 ticket is gonna be between Booker and Warren, and Booker will come out on top. As popular as Warren is, the Dems will fear that Blacks will stay hom if one isn’t at the top of the ticket. Sanders might step in, but will withdraw early on after Booker plays the Race card. It might end up being a Booker/Warren unity ticket.

I hope he requires Democrat female members of the house and senate to wear burkas at all party functions and whenever they are on Capitol Hill, their offices and being interviewed on TV. The reason will be to “honor” his following Sharia and to do otherwise would show their “Islamophobia.”

Of course, he could also tell them that as women, they should be at home and thus then need to resign their elected offices and let a man take their position.

Regardless of who the Democrats pick they got problems. I happen to think that a Booker/Warren tickets makes a lot of sense, but Hispanics are gonna have a tirade if they don’t have one of their own on the ticket. It’s gonna be a mess for the Democrats when Blacks and Hispanics fight for the control of that party because they won’t be able to share power equally. You can bet on that. I can see even more white voters telling the Democrats to go pound sand in 2020. As much as the media harps on the GOP’s inability to attract Black and Hispanic votes they better start paying attention to the fact that Democrats have steadily lost their share of the white vote. Hillary got just 39.5% of that vote in November. I can see it steadily decreasing down to the low to mid 30’s by the next election, and that will make it increasingly harder for the Dems to win in 2020.

The Democrats are so afraid now of nominating or placing whites in position of power within their party for fear of upsetting Blacks and Hispanics. Live by the race card and die by it. The Democrats are gonna learn that lesson now and also they better be prepared for the intraparty war between those two groups especially when Blacks begin to see themselves being shut out of power positions as the party accomodates Hispanics because of their large voting bloc.

Oh, look for lots of factional fighting. Things might have been OK during an expansion phase, but when the party is contracting, and there are more people chasing fewer jobs and opportunities, expect some vicious infighting between factions.

Black women will want to exclude white women. White women will want preference over men. Muslims will want their share (especially if Ellison becomes DNC chair). And the gays will be fighting with everyone.

A party which winds up dominated by black lesbians will see a walkout of even more Dems.

I think Hispanics would support a Black at the top of the ticket, but not the other way around. Once consequence of Obama is that I don’t think the Blacks will be motivated to vote for anyone who isn’t Black.

I also think Trump will make more inroads into the Union vote.

It could also just as easily be Warren/Booker. Booker has more time for future campaigns than Warren does.

The racist, neo-Nazi, America-hating mooslim Keith Ellison is the perfect reincarnated Hitler to lead the seditious democrat party.

Go, Keith!

The Rats seem determined to screw up their party even more than it is already.

That’s what he says he is now. He started out Catholic and then went to the NOI.

For a while he was “Keith X Ellison”. Then that morphed into “Keith Ellison Muhammad”. They don’t seem to realize that taking on Arabic names would be more of a “slave name”.

Lol. He should also encourage them to watch reruns of “Sister Wives”.
