[Its All Over Except ...]

WASHINGTON - President Trump is defending himself against accusations of racism, claiming he’s just the latest target of a party that plays the “race card,” as he leveled criticism against Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md.

Trump called out Cummings on Saturday, slamming him as a “brutal bully” for how he spoke to border patrol officials, and said that the congressman’s Baltimore district is in “FAR WORSE” shape than the situation at the southern border. That rebuke resulted in claims of racism from Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, but Trump pointed out that he’s hardly the first to get accused of racism, with the speaker herself recently in the middle of a similar controversy. ...

“Someone please explain to Nancy Pelosi, who was recently called racist by those in her own party, that there is nothing wrong with bringing out the very obvious fact that Congressman Elijah Cummings has done a very poor job for his district and the City of Baltimore. Just take a look, the facts speak far louder than words!” Trump tweeted Sunday morning. “The Democrats always play the Race Card, when in fact they have done so little for our Nation’s great African American people,” he added.

He’s absolutely right. Leftists have been screaming “racist!” at anybody who disagrees with them for 30 years.

It appears Cummings is re-elected each term by a majority of at least 70% of the votes of his district. Noting his district is depressed and hopeless wasteland of abandoned homes and crime (but wasn't always like this), what exactly is his winning campaign slogan? "If you must waste your vote, waste it on me."

Or is asking that kind of question... racist?

That would make a good tagline.

This is THE question to ask all the 2020 Democrats:

What is your definition of racist?

I've never seen a person so adroit at controlling the entire discussion of the nation.

It truly is amazing. president Trumps ability to, with laser accuracy, guide the narrative in such a way it leads to converts to his side. Day after day after day from all walks of life
