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. I love popcorn but I don’t know how much I’ll be able to scarf down especially when, and I do mean when Ellison becomes the head of the DNC.

Yeah, like the Democrats will ever let another White Male be their candidate or leader.

They need to bring back Debbie Wasaman Schultz. With Chukles Schumer, Nasty Pelosi, and Debbie Wasaman Schultz as the heads of the Democratic party it’s a win win. Of course they can bring in Ellison but it’s still a win win for eveybody. The dems get their psycho reps and still nobody will take them seriously except for other psycho dems.

Excellent observation! I think white liberal guilt will also play a factor.

Obviously have Heinz ketchup on the brain. On the other hand, I love the idea of splitting the black vote between Christians and Muslim.

Just when the Dems should be taking as their message from the people “Move back loser to the middle” they decide to double down on radicalism. It might buy them a lot of violence prone radicals but it is not going to win them any elections.

The only problem I have with Keith Ellison is that he keeps using his slave name instead of whatever his real name is. Mo Hussein, or something like that?

The Muzzies taking over the DNC ain’t “lookin’ good” for the blacks and “Hispanics” though. LOL.


That’s right. But they don’t care because they will push the “we’re all ‘people of color’” thing.

OK . . . what is it with Muslim Dems and “57 states”??

I don't know where the 57 comes from, though I do grok 56. Start with 50 states. Add DC (three electoral votes) and you're at 51. Add Guam, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Marianas territories, and you're at 56.

I can see a professional politico in inclusion mode counting the territories. They don't have electoral votes, but they do vote for in presidential primaries and for territorial and local offices, and they have local party organizations (not necessarily named Republican and Democrat) that organize with the RNC and DNC. They come to the national conventions. A political pro would have them on his radar screen.

Here is the language from Rule 1 of the RNC:

(b) For the purposes of this rule and all other rules, "state" or "states" shall be taken to include American Samoa, the District of Columbia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, except in Rule No. 14, and unless the context in which the word "state" or "states" is used clearly makes such inclusion inappropriate.

I can't find the DNC rules on their website. Perhaps I'm overlooking it, but it may be that the Party of the Superdelegates, with its top-down, caucus-dominated, quasi-Leninist structure, isn't anxious for casual viewers to read its rules.
