Cornel West is not a 'friend' to Democrats. He helped 'Borther Trump win...screw him. Demsrule86 Oct 2017 #4

Agree. 2018 is coming up fast, and West will be wielding his poison pen. Hortensis Oct 2017 #17

It is going to be an epic battle that we must win. I hope some have seen that electing Demsrule86 Oct 2017 #32

He's a loon. Drahthaardogs Oct 2017 #19

I don't understand that either. He is a disgrace. Demsrule86 Oct 2017 #20

He's at Union Theological Seminary now, but I agree --- pnwmom Oct 2017 #25

He went to Princeton and proved capable of good work. My guess is he behaved Hortensis Oct 2017 #27

Agreed. MariaCSR Oct 2017 #57

Thank you! Paka Oct 2017 #11

& it's from a well known disillusioned73 Oct 2017 #90

Classic example of extremist effect on thinking. And West's usual attention seeking, of course. Hortensis Oct 2017 #3

The trouble is that they can't win. We are supposed to step aside and watch them lose. Demsrule86 Oct 2017 #14

Agree completely. But the OTHER trouble is they shouldn't be trusted with power. Hortensis Oct 2017 #18

I agree completely. Demsrule86 Oct 2017 #22

No one who could support an anti-Obama BIRTHER in 2015 is EVER worth listening to, pnwmom Oct 2017 #21

Sure. But personality is different. It can change also, but only so much. Hortensis Oct 2017 #23

This guy has been doing this for years and no he doesn't change... Demsrule86 Oct 2017 #24

Oh, yes, to that last. Personally, I suspect he was jealous of Obama, Hortensis Oct 2017 #26

He is an attention seeker, and I think he hated Pres. Obama. Demsrule86 Oct 2017 #30

His tweets certainly don't demonstrate it. Long, very dense text Hortensis Oct 2017 #38

I meant the verbiage that West tosses around...reminds me of the word salad Palin uses... Demsrule86 Oct 2017 #43
