    It certainly would be if the person expressing that racist view was someone the Democrat left regarded as an adversary.

    And the suggestion that someone accused of being a rapist, without due process or any corroborating evidence, and in fact with the people cited as corroborating witnesses actually refuting the accusers story, is somehow presumed to be guilty is a view that is beyond despicable.

    Also, we have here a Democrat presidential candidate who has professed racist views on the record - something you know would result in a total meltdown from the entire Democrat left if it was a Republican - verses uncorroborated allegations against someone you are apparently not fond of, vetted as thoroughly as any allegations possibly in the history of our country and found to be unsubstantiated, which you appear to just assume guilt over anyway.

    So anyway, if your view is consistent with what we can expect out of the Democrat left and their supporters in the media, this will be ignored or defended in manner that is almost exactly the opposite of what they would do it the candidate was from the Republican right. Wow.

    If Hillary was as sure she is not going to run this time as Maggie Haberman at the New York Times is, surely she would come out and say so herself.

    So I was wondering about a possible Kamala Harris/Sherrod Brown ticket for the Dems. Until I saw this:

    Sherrod Brown: Medicare for all not 'practical'

    Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) took a shot at some of his fellow Democrats on Friday, saying that "Medicare for all" is not a practical idea. "I know most of the Democratic primary candidates are all talking about Medicare for all. I think instead we should do Medicare at 55,” Brown said.

    {More at the link}​

    Well that is a problem, because Kamala Harris has gone all in on single payer, government run healthcare.

    So this should really serve to help separate and distinguish Sherrod Brown's candidacy, if he does indeed decide to run for president. But it seems to make him also incompatible with many of the other candidates for a role as Vice President, if it were otherwise to make sense for the ultimate nominee to consider Brown for this role.

    So, I could be wrong, but I suspect this means that Sherrod Brown will probably not be the vice presidential nominee for Kamala Harris.

    Russia's propaganda machine discovers 2020 Democratic candidate Tulsi Gabbard

    Experts who track websites and social media linked to Russia have seen stirrings of a possible campaign of support for Hawaii Democrat Tulsi Gabbard.

    By the logic that we have had explained to us over the last 2+ years by the Democrat left and the mass media, this means that she is conspiring with the Russians to interfere with our elections.

    Surely you guys are not changing your tune on this now that it is a woman who is a candidate running for president as a Democrat that the Russians are using to stir up crap with online. Are you?

    In the 2016 election, Russia also pushed Sanders' candidacy. The disconnect in your story is the fact that only one campaign had endless high-level people meeting with Russians, working for Russians, committing crimes related to working with Russians, etc. None of that applied to Sanders or Gabbard, as far as we know. That's the basis for conspiring/colluding.

    The problem here seems to be your ability to comprehend things as opposed to the Democratic left or the mass media.

    Are you now claiming Hillary Clinton and her campaign had numerous secret meetings with Russians? Or is this, like your accusations of Gabbard and Sanders, just another effort to "whatabout" without any basis of fact?

    And let's keep in mind that the president is actually elected in the electoral college and that the votes for Democrats are concentrated on the coasts and in large cities. So they need to have a good 5-6% national lead in the popular vote in the polls to have any real cause for hope going into election day.

    Whether it was illegal or not, we know that Michael Flynn, Carter Page, Paul Manafort, and Jared Kushner all had dealings with Russia during the campaign, and all were in high level positions in the Trump campaign. None of that is up for debate. Just saying "But Hillary!!" is meaningless garbage.

    I know math isn't your strong suit, but Democrats have to flip 0.4% of the vote in MI/WI/PA vs 2016 and they win the election. That's it. They don't need a 5% national lead. That was based on a 2% lead in 2016. With a 5% 2016 lead, they would have won MI, WI, PA, FL, NC, AZ, and the NE-dist2 for a total of 334 electoral votes.
