True to some extent - but with enough GOPee misrule, a good Dem of ANY background could win sandensea Oct 2018 #1
Ruh-roh. I see a star falling. Honeycombe8 Oct 2018 #2
This is racism, and it pisses me off. The Liberal Lion Oct 2018 #3
He's simply stating that racism is so strong in the US that it not only has a place at the table LanternWaste Oct 2018 #4
Well I'll put it to you like this The Liberal Lion Oct 2018 #10
The racists can go fuck off. Initech Oct 2018 #14
Except now he is denying that he said this oberliner Oct 2018 #17
Giving him the benefit of the doubt that this isn't just serving, I think his logic is flawed xor Oct 2018 #19
I think that's it. He's stating what he thinks is necessary to win, because of the way things are... Honeycombe8 Oct 2018 #49
Come on. He's saying that in his opinion, this is the way it is, not the way HE thinks it shud be. Honeycombe8 Oct 2018 #5
This is exactly what pisses me off about the "mainstream" left The Liberal Lion Oct 2018 #12
I get pissed off at the "mainstream" left too for having no courage LiberalLovinLug Oct 2018 #28
I don't think he's mainstream. You don't know that, either. Honeycombe8 Oct 2018 #45
It wasn't a smart thing to say. brush Oct 2018 #26
You have revealed you are an AA male. Also looking to see a Dem woman president. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #63
Harris would be nice, but so would Holder or Castro or Warren. brush Oct 2018 #66
I have me looking at Cory! But I'm not that well into his bio. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #67
Unfortunately, that will probably need to be the case. Ligyron Oct 2018 #6
What will need to be the case? oberliner Oct 2018 #18
That we will.end up running another white male. Ligyron Oct 2018 #30
Why do you feel that is the case? oberliner Oct 2018 #58
So you think the misogynistic, racists who won't vote for a woman or minority onenote Oct 2018 #29
No but the Independents might. Ligyron Oct 2018 #34
The racist, misogynistic indpendents? onenote Oct 2018 #35
Because hopefully Trump.will be in jail. Ligyron Oct 2018 #36
This is a good thought... sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #65
Odds are it'll be a white male, just because there are a lot more of them... Honeycombe8 Oct 2018 #48
I'm not sure I'm willing to submit to whitemail- er, whitemale any longer. n/t TygrBright Oct 2018 #7
I don't think anyone on DU does either. Ligyron Oct 2018 #27
Gee who could be white and male and greedy with desire to be President? mucifer Oct 2018 #8
Well, hell, if he's going to go that far he had better suggest truthisfreedom Oct 2018 #9
In other words, maybe Beto O'Rourke and Kamala Harris? The Velveteen Ocelot Oct 2018 #13
Actually, stats show that tall men have an advantage in winning the Presidency. Honeycombe8 Oct 2018 #50
I don't know. I've been watching Kamala Harris a lot lately... SKKY Oct 2018 #11
She's got my vote. She makes mincemeat out of the R's as easily as breathing. Love her. Sparky 1 Oct 2018 #42
I can't believe the meekness with which this statement is being accepted The Liberal Lion Oct 2018 #15
I'm an old white male. bluestateboomer Oct 2018 #16
That seems like a good plan to me. xor Oct 2018 #20
Indeed, you are correct. If it's a white male, fine. If not, fine. We fight, not weaken our knees. The Liberal Lion Oct 2018 #37
Avenatti said, "I was misquoted, and it was taken out of context." Galraedia Oct 2018 #21
I'd be surprised if Time didn't record the interview. onenote Oct 2018 #31
Not a very smart thing to say elmac Oct 2018 #22
Well aren't we lucky. Avenatti also happens to be a white male who wants to be President Raven123 Oct 2018 #23
I would rather see a women in there and whoever the best candidate is (Dem of course) lancelyons Oct 2018 #24
He's not wrong. America is a profoundly misogynist and racist state. apnu Oct 2018 #25
And will those misogynists and racists vote for a white male who points out that Trump also onenote Oct 2018 #32
If the race is close, say Nov. 3, 2020, there are people who might have voted for a 3Hotdogs Oct 2018 #33
Hillary Clinton received 3 million more votes than Trump onenote Oct 2018 #38
Go Bernie? 3Hotdogs Oct 2018 #40
Boom! Just one small correction. Hillary did not lose the electoral vote either The Liberal Lion Oct 2018 #44
She would have won had it not been for Comey. It was her gender that emboldened the FBI and StevieM Oct 2018 #55
We lose when we give in to false notions The Liberal Lion Oct 2018 #41
That negates your second sentence. Jeb was half asleep during the campaign. 3Hotdogs Oct 2018 #43
Your reply was humorous and I appreciate it The Liberal Lion Oct 2018 #46
Trump won't hold back but his audience will be less receptive. 3Hotdogs Oct 2018 #47
I agree that white males have an advantage, but marylandblue Oct 2018 #77
Unless you're short on bad guys today, move along. Nothing to see here. Snellius Oct 2018 #39
Boy! What a slippery slope we're on. We'd take a life raft from anybody I guess. Raven Oct 2018 #51
Excellent point FakeNoose Oct 2018 #52
"Avenatti's Dem/lib/prog credentials are impeccable" ?? oberliner Oct 2018 #59
People are killing me on this thread. Why do we need a white male???? SKKY Oct 2018 #53
I agree that we should vote for the best candidate, and not discount women and minorities. StevieM Oct 2018 #54
She won by 3 million votes oberliner Oct 2018 #60
I refuse to focus on the popular vote vs. the electoral college because it minimizes StevieM Oct 2018 #61
Well, I agree with you there oberliner Oct 2018 #62
It wasn't okay and I blurted this out last nite when again I recalled what he pulled. sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #64
I would argue that without the Comey intervention she undoubtedly would have won a decisive victory. StevieM Oct 2018 #69
I'm with you in one mind and one accord. There's a graph I saw after he pulled that, her numbers sprinkleeninow Oct 2018 #70
Yes, she did indeed. But it was she lost WI, MI, and PA by a total 80K votes. SKKY Oct 2018 #75
Clinton lost the electoral college vote by 80K votes.... SKKY Oct 2018 #76
You are completely wrong. She ran a great race. We heard nothing about this "crap campaign" until StevieM Oct 2018 #78
+10,000. I was and am very impressed with what Hill Hortensis Oct 2018 #79
LMFAO Adios, Avenatti. sarcasmo Oct 2018 #56
I hope so SCantiGOP Oct 2018 #57
The most politically astute person I know is a Harvard educated African American SayitAintSo Oct 2018 #68
This African-American woman thinks the Democratic nominee "better be a white male" ? oberliner Oct 2018 #71
I will ask her to reply SayitAintSo Oct 2018 #72
Before The 2000 Election? ProfessorGAC Oct 2018 #73
Do you remember Bart cop? SayitAintSo Oct 2018 #74
