Democrats warn of Trump trap
The Hill ^ | 07-31-19 | MIKE LILLIS AND SCOTT WONG

House Democrats up in arms over President Trump’s attacks on minority lawmakers are sounding a warning to their own party heading into the 2020 elections: Don’t take the bait. While Democrats have rushed to the defense of Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the prominent Congressional Black Caucus member Trump has attacked this week, they also sense the president is setting a political trap. Democrats won the House in 2018 campaigning on health care, income inequality and other legislative priorities, and there is concern that Trump’s rhetoric is designed simply to distract voters from those policy debates.

It’s white Americans, all Americans, who need a warning about the racist Democrats.

If they have to purge white workers, what do you think they’ll do throughout society?

The racist pogroms are coming and the leftist media is indeed the enemy of the people for supporting it.

The Hill is a hill of BS. The Democrats didn’t campaign on those “policies”. They campaigned on hating Trump, and testing their fraud machine. Their test was successful.

Let us all beware.

The President has a valid and enormously important point: Democrats equal failure. Every Democrat-controlled city and state is a squalid, crime-infested mess.

What percentage of new hires at the post office are straight white males?

Democrats won the House because Paul Ryan was working with them to make sure it happened.
He spent more time and effort blocking and attacking his own Party than he ever did in the 8 years of Obama.

Dang, some of them are catching on.

Most will still be too obstinate to not step in the trap though, I think.

Wait a minute! How can it be a trap?! The dimwits are champions of the "little guy" and care about minorities and the downtrodden deep in their hearts! They have protected these people from evil republicans for the last 50 years.

Donald Trump is an idiot racist! Are these people who grace our society with diversity somehow going to be tricked into voting for that raciss Trump?

I’m going to say zero, unless you’re talking about a place like Eagle Grove, IA (Pop. 5000). Last time I was there they had a new employee and he was white, but out here in California, it’s definitely ZERO.
