Cant believe that the Clintons/Obama don’t have this rigged for their boy Perez
Dershowitz already said he’d leave the party.
They lose the Jewish support (money, media), the Dem party will be even more irrelevant.
Assuming they could hold party solidarity in the face of absolutely insane media attacks - you think it's bad now? - but yes, if they could, that would make legislation very interesting. I'm trying to imagine the screeching. Invest in ear plugs.
The ‘RATS will be RACIST ISLAMOPHOBES if they do not select Keith Ellison to lead the DNC. /s
Other than a few minor faults, like being an anti-semite tax cheat and 9-11 denier, he’s perfect!
Go Ellison! You can do it!
Its a good choice for us.
Secular totalitarians (marxists) and religious totalitarians (mohammedans) UNITE!
(what’s in your head, IDIOT?)
Do not count our chickens too soon.
The first time Obama ran, many were elated, thinking he was racially unelectable.
I can see the headlines already
“ Trump shows antisemitism by endorsing Ellison “
And not one single mention of “moslem.”
Unlike Steve Bannon there will be plenty of examples of Ellison’s anti-semitism and Muslim extremism, racism. This guy is radical and we had better see Trump with harsher criticism of this guy than tweeting Ellison said he would win.
Bust didn’t lose in 2002 - no mention in the article
Go Keith!!!
Ellison’s ideological peculiarities alone are enough to put his party at a severe disadvantage in the present political climate. That’s before even getting into his personal failings, which have also reemerged. There was the occasion in 2010 where he lost his temper during a debate with his Republican challenger, referring to him as a “scumbag” and “gutter-dweller.” There were the nearly half-dozen times between 1992 and 2000 that he failed to pay his income taxes, which resulted in a lien on his house, as well as the 14 traffic citations that he received but failed to pay. (He attributed the latter, in fairness, to a former wife, who said she failed to pay the fines due to illness.)
Add to it he’s so ignorant of history he stated the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.
Yup, he’s the perfect pick.
(A gal can dream. Besides which the progressives would have a valid point)
Republicans have done a good job holding their fire until Ellison is elected. After that, all bets are off. Once Ellison is in place, he’ll be firmly ensconced because if Democrats ask him to step down, they will be seen as racist and Islamophobic.
