We have twice seen in the past decade that the minority of people who will not cast of vote for Democrat because of race, will probably not cast a vote for Democrat at all.

Who we should nominate is the person that stable to produce a big win. That is my only criterion. That is the only criterion worth considering.

Now that you mention it, black women sure have saved our Party's bacon a lot lately. brush Dec 2018 #1

It is a "clever" tweet but misses the substance of the first. . . pdsimdars Dec 2018 #32
It didn't miss the substance of the first tweet at all... That's the point EffieBlack Dec 2018 #35
Oh, I didn't know she was into politics and running for president? pdsimdars Dec 2018 #44
You really did miss the point. yardwork Dec 2018 #69
