Kellyanne Conway at Ohio GOP dinner: 'Democratic electorate is racist and sexist'

https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/elections/2019/09/21/trump-adviser-kellyanne-conway-speaks-ohio-gop-dinner/2299491001/



COLUMBUS - White House counselor Kellyanne Conway told a room full of Ohio Republicans that she doesn't recognize the Democratic Party anymore.

Her evidence that Democrats are too extreme: there are too few anti-abortion or pro-Second Amendment Democrats. Some presidential candidates, including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, want to ban the oil and gas drilling practice of fracking. Moderate Democrats like Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper haven't gotten traction in the race.

“Their top three candidates are white, career politicians in their 60s and 70s, which I have nothing against except they (Democrats) certainly do,” Conway said at the Ohio Republican Party's annual fundraising dinner in Columbus on Saturday. “I don’t know why the heck the Democratic party electorate is so racist and sexist. I can’t figure it out.”

Conway, a longtime Republican pollster, was the first woman to manage a successful presidential campaign in 2016 – for Donald Trump, a white man who is now 73 years old.

Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David Pepper pointed out that Democrats chose the first African-American and woman candidates to run as nominees of a major party.

"With a broad field of diverse candidates, our primary process has shown the strength of our party," Pepper told The Enquirer. "It is clear that Kellyanne and the president are worried about Ohio since they're here every other week."


There's a lot that Kellyanne just can't figure out.

Same thing I thought about Mary Matalin and James Corville.

Sorry, if I spelled their names wrong, but I don't care!

So they will always opt to go on offense because it distracts from the shit they can't defend.

It's the definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. We can't continue down the path we're on and think things are going to go differently. The 2nd amendment needs a kick in the ass. The pro lifers need a kick in the ass. We can't let them keep getting away with this.
