so RATS are racsis... who'd a guessed???

When Kamala Harris dropped out two weeks ago, it hit Cory Booker hard.
She may have been his rival in the race for the Democratic nomination, but her exit represented something bigger. If Harris — a friend of Booker’s and the only black woman in the race, who began her campaign with such promise — couldn’t make it to Iowa, what did it mean for him, a black man still in the fight but unable to qualify for the Democratic debate?
At the heart of Booker’s dilemma is a larger question about the Democratic Party and American politics: What if Barack Obama was not just the first, but the only person who is not a white man to occupy the White House for decades to come?
“That’s a very real fear,” said Bakari Sellers, a prominent South Carolina Democrat who supported Harris’ bid. It feels like the country has taken a giant step backwards, he said. “It’s hard to answer the question of, how did you go from Barack Obama to Donald Trump?”
Harris’ downfall, Booker’s struggles and Julián Castro’s single-digit polling have caused Democrats across the party, and especially people of color, to ask what’s led the party to this juncture, where all the frontrunners are white, and most of them are male and in their 70s. In July, Democrats had the most diverse debate stage in history. Five months later, all the participants are white except for Andrew Yang, who cleared the bar by a single percentage point in one poll on the final day to qualify.

I donated big and worked for Herman Cain in 2012. Does anyone think he wouldn’t have been a better candidate than Mitch? But he was successfully Kavanaughed, so we lost that opportunity.
So what? Do you have something against white people?
Look Cory, “bearded” men haven’t done well in modern Presidential politics.
It’s sad that we still live in a world where there’s so much pressure to judge people by the color of their skin, and that some people think their entire existence is defined by their pigmentation.
Dear Mr. Booger,
Maybe it’s your message, not your melanin.
I noticed it a alot among the millennials in the the Santa Monica tech companies I’ve worked at
Many of them would ditch the Democrat party in droves. Problem is, it would just be a different color or Socialists. That’s not everyone, to be fair, but a lot.
To people like him, unless blacks hold every position of power forever, it’s racism. They don’t want equality; they want absolute power.
Has nothing to do with being “Black.” (Kamala Harris is not Black.)
Remember how the left trashed BLACK Republican candidates? Alan Keyes. Mia Love. Ben Carson.
'people of color aren't good enough to make it on your own...we dems are so much smarter, better, kinder and will take care of you poor pitiful souls.'...if you vote for them.
Did you hear Heismann Trophy winner Joe Burrow's mere mention of his impoverished hometown of Athens, Ohio near West Virginia received 180K in unsolicited donations. Unasked. We live among a very generous populace....with more jobs than people, incidentally.
Ds welfare schemes rob so many of their dignity, and --if that's not bad enough-- is not needed. And yes, a number of people truly do need help which we can afford in this country....just not 1/4 of the country.
Bakahi, I can tell you how we went from Obama to Trump. Obama was not only an open racist, but incompetent.
You may have heard of “once burned, twice shy”?
And of course, Booker has nothing of value to offer.
“‘Racism permeates everything’: Running as a black candidate after Obama”
They can thank Obama for that.
Perhaps the democrat party doesn’t have an electable candidate. In or out of the race. Remember, “we need to impeach Trump or he will be re-elected”.
Cop assassinations.
Has nothing to do with his skin color. I wouldn’t vote for him because he’s a Liberal.
Gee what will they say when black conservatives win.
“”especially people of color, to ask what’s led the party to this juncture,””
IDIOTS! Probably because the rest of us don’t make an issue out of being WHITE. We just are! But it would be fun to watch someone run who would pander to the “whites” for a change. You’d be able to hear the howling all the way to the moon!
“”Has anyone else noticed that there is more racism now in US society than before Obama?””
I sure hope that’s not a serious question. THAT was the only reason he was installed in the WH - to get the ball rolling!
Racism certainly permeates everything the demonicRATs do. They’re the only real racists left in America.
