Valerie Jarrett: Dem Candidate Should Choose ‘Running Mate That’s A Woman Of Color’
breitbart ^ | 3-3-2020 | Trent Baker

Former President Barack Obama senior advisor Valerie Jarrett on Tuesday urged whichever 2020 Democratic presidential candidate emerges as the leader after the conclusion of Super Tuesday to “break with conventional wisdom and announce a running mate that’s a woman of color,” especially if it is Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), former Vice President Joe Biden or former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Jarrett explained on CBS’s “This Morning” that “these are not normal times” and argued having a woman of color “would send an important signal” heading into the next round of primaries.

“I think that whoever emerges tonight, particularly if it’s Bernie Sanders, if it’s Vice President Biden or even if it’s Mayor Bloomberg, what I would do is break with conventional wisdom and announce a running mate that’s a woman of color,” Jarrett stated before being cut off.

“Tonight?” asked host Gayle King.

“No, not tonight,” Jarrett replied. “Certainly before the next primary. Woman, person of color, someone who reflects the diversity of our party.

Women of color? Some credentials. Because of that, I am wary of women of color because that may be their only qualification.

Joe should step aside and let Hillary have it. She’s ready for her closeup.

Warren will say she already is one. Pete will use melons and black paint. Bloomberg will run ads 24/7 of black women saying that he is one of them.

Go right ahead and choose woman of color. Which is ok by me.
We already learned how that works.

The DemonRATs are entrenched with this Cultural Marxism game they are playing. They never believed that one is valued by the content of their character.

Typical liberal. Choose skin color and sex over achievements and skills.

Yes, Stacey Abrams. That way, no matter how many extra electoral votes are in the Trump victory margin she can say it was fraud, systemic white racism and fakery.

With modern DNA testing and ancestry research services we can dispense with merit and suitable experience and policy positions. Just look like Warren, at the precise percentages of elements of each racial group in the DNA. Put the racial component amounts on the ballots (how much Pacific Islander, prehistoric Bering Straits Asian migrant mixed with Algonquin and so on).

Dems need to choose the blob from GA who almost became governor, thanks to the GOP coming up with a candidate who’s the opposite of charisma. All I can say about Kemp is - at least he’s not Matt Bevin. Or Roy Moore.

You mean the late Charlton Heston, of course. Thought so.

Valerie Jarrett herself is the ideal choice. She is a woman of color and brings the best resume, that of being de facto POTUS for 8 years.

Anyone that identifies with identity politics need to be ridiculed ... made fun of, laughed at. They are assclowns after all.
