or another candidate without trying to pretend that the issue they REALLY care about is equal representation by black or brown people, it would be preferable.

Note, I am NOT saying they do not care about those things. But it is apparent to me that they are consciously unconsciously grabbing upon anything they can in order to tear down someone they do not like.

If, in fact, the issue of representation by minorities was an issue that was really on their mind, they would show some consistency on the issue. But they do not.

And THAT is the purpose of this OP.

I believe I dropped the mic on this one but I do not expect the thread to receive much attention or likes.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
