Shrrewd move. Nobody should ever think that Democrats are dumb. Unethical and sleazy maybe, but not dumb.
And Obama letting all those oppressed and over-sentenced folks out of prison was part of the same package, cementing the black vote into the Democrat party.
And you can bet that not one pundit of the MSM will see any connection and will argue against it if it pointed out.
Hang Terry McAwful around the neck of his pal the Medusa. Use Terry McAwful and his policies in this respect to electorally exterminate the surviving legislators in the Virginia Senate and House of Burgesses who share his Demonrat affiliation and views. Demand answers from His Accidency the Demonrat VA Attorney General and make him choose between coddling black felons and protecting the general public.
The above does not even get to the matter of letting them vote, much less hold public office. Most folks understand that being a CONVICTED felon has consequences beyond incarceration, execution, monetary fines and parole. Bring Ken Cuccinelli back to run in the next election. He understands this stuff.
Meanwhile, since McAwful is a former Demonrat National Committee Chairman (2001-2005) coronated by Slick Willie and Huma Abedin's consort, hang McAwful around the neck of each and every Demonrat anywhere who is not willing to repudiate McAwful and anyone supporting him and this insane policy. Use the policy as just another vote grab like unrestrained illegal immigration.
WHEN the media refuses to cover this, the media cannot legally refuse to accept timely advertising placements on behalf of POTUS candidates, Senate candidates, House candidates and likely (I am not sure) state level candidates as well. Let George Steponallofus put THAT where the sun shineth not.
Roll out the corporate big money contributions legalized by Citizens United vs. FEC. Give the libs something to REALLY whine about. Remember Willie Horton? As Yogi Berra used to say, "Deja vu all over again!" AND "GOP" candidates need to grow a pair on this and other issues. Who better than Donald Bull in a China Shop Trump to ram this very worthwhile issue down the throats or up some other part of the anatomies of Hitlery and her love slaves? A little uncouth talk there to interest and engage the Trumpian masses. THIS is what not being a reflexive gentleman is really for.
