I'll say it again: the first black President has pushed the racist right into far more open racism. I'm not surprised by this.
Gerrymandering and suppressing the vote via various Voter ID laws seems sufficient to give R's enough seats to, if not completely dissolve all institutions they don't like, at least stifle legislative work to the point they cease to function.
50+ votes to kill Obamacare and the Supes barely even noticed. Pure Genius I tell you.
"It's hard to overstate what a dumb decision this is for a party desperate to show that it is comprised of and open to far more people than just old white men."
I think you made a mistake there. The GOP is not, in fact, interested in broadening its appeal.
Sadly we Dems are about to lose another Senate seat. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) is about the be indicted so it will just be a matter of time before he vacates his seat and Fatso appoints a Repub as an interim. That will bring us down to 45.
Well corrupt is corrupt even if it is your guy. Give him a fair trial and boot him if he really is that big a scum bag. Dems need to recruit and promote better candidates.
We also need to win back some governorships so that when deaths and indictments diminsh our ranks in the senate, the power-that-be doing the appointment be a Dem. (It will also help w/ redistricting in 2021.)
This is a huge opportunity for Obama to talk about race and rights both historically and currently in towns like Ferguson. Like Lincoln at Gettysburg, he can define the struggle and the cause. People should be showing up for the 50th commemoration of the Selma march. It could be historic.
Which is precisely why every Republican has other plans that day.

More proof that they really have no intention of appealing to minorities. They just say it and have a few on show to convince the low info middle that they aren’t racist while sticking with gerrymandering and voter suppression to beat back the growing numbers that will soon make the combined minorities the big majority. They must know that won’t work forever, which makes me really worried about what else they’ll try to do whenever they have legislative majorities and, God forbid, the WH with full power to put install their own Supreme Court.
Meantime, they’d just as soon appeal to their racist base by doing things like ignoring historic Civil Rights remembrances and cleansing texts to pretend we’ve always been just one big happy family and weren’t those Africans lucky to be brought to this great country and weren’t they mainly treated really well by good, caring white owners looking out for their welfare? Anyone who refuses to stick to that version must want our young people to hate America. Right?
Just wanted to test the emoticons.
