Money  Hope that donors help pay off any debt that may have incurred from running.

 

I'm surprised she dropped out this early.  She was polling better than all the favorite Republican candidates (Yang, Gabbard) and centrist candidates (Klobuchar, Steyer, Bloomberg, Delaney).  Had to do with money.  One less spot on the debate stage.


Had less to do with money and much more to do w her not wanting to finish 4th in her own state when she needs to win re-election. 
 

the deadline for withdrawing from the Cali ballot is tomorrow.

Silver fluked out totally and got appointed a god by the liberal media

 

it was like the guy who won the March Madness pool with George Mason in the Final Four, but he made a huge error as he really meant for George Washington (more plausible that year) to go the distance

Maybe they will make a commercial out of this and put it on Pornhub under the title "Let it all hang at the Yang *****.".

 

Edit: Wow that got filtered.  Hint: two words, both rhyme with Yang, one of them is gang and the other starts with B.

Christmas time badgering of the Salvation Army not a wise move.

 

Gay activists turn on Pete Buttigieg over Salvation Army ties

by Victor Morton

 

Original Article

 

Pete Buttigieg has been outed — as someone who has worked with the Salvation Army.

 

According to a report Tuesday in Out magazine, the South Bend mayor has several times participated in Red Kettle Ring Off for the Christmas season in the Indiana city. Out linked to reports of the annual charity in local South Bend media from 2015 and 2017, and at least one other photo from 2016 surfaced on Twitter. In 2018, he held the annual Mayor’s Night Out — an open-listening event to let residents quiz city officials — at a Salvation Army community center.

Only skin pigmentation counts !

 

 

 

WHAT DO YOU CALL A CANDIDATE POOL WITH TWO WOMEN, A GAY MAN, A JEW, A HALF JEW, AND A CATHOLIC?:

 

If you’ve drank a certain type of Kool-Aid, you call this “not diverse”–even though there has been only one Catholic president, and no gay, Jewish, or woman presidents. The obsession with arbitrary and artificial “official” minority status may be the single worse feature of the modern chattering classes.

DID HARRIS FAIL BECAUSE SHE’S A WOMAN OF COLOR?

 

That’s the line being peddled by some on the identity politics left. Harris herself seems to favor the theory.

 

It’s garbage.

 

The last two Democratic nominees were, respectively, a black and a female. Clearly, then, Harris didn’t fail because she’s black and she didn’t fail because she’s a woman.

 

But was the combination of these two identities two much for Democrats to stomach? To make that argument, one must explain Harris’s strong showing in the polls after the first round of Democratic debates.

 

Harris was a black female in July, when she soared from the second tier into the first. If Democrats had an aversion to women of color, she wouldn’t have joined the top tier.

 

Consider, also, the three candidates she joined there. One was the former Vice President of the United States. One was the runner-up for the nomination in 2016, who only narrowly was edged by Hillary Clinton. The third was the leader of her party’s left wing, who has been a prominent member of the Senate since 2013.

 

Harris, who has been in the Senate for less than three years, is a minnow compared to these three. What distinguished her from them was less her race/gender than her lack of accomplishments. If anything, her race, along with her age, probably was an asset.

 

We also know that Harris never caught on with African-American voters. Surely, this cohort did not reject her due to race, and there is no evidence that it did so because of her gender. Black voters solidly favored Clinton over Sanders in 2016. They were a key reason why she edged the Vermont socialist.

I tend to think Harris is correct about the racism and bias displayed by the Democrat Party.

MORE DEMOCRATS PONDER WHY THEIR PARTY IS A CESSPIT OF RACISM:

 

● The View’s Sonny Hostin Pouts Kamala Harris Faced ‘Unprecedented Sexism, Racism.’

 

● Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) on Kamala Harris dropping out: “Very difficult for a woman of color” to win the Democratic primary.

 

● WATCH: White Black Lives Matter activist ignites brawl at black event for Buttigieg.

 

● Cory Booker Implies Democrats Are Racist For Not Putting Him On December Debate Stage.

 

Regarding that last item, at Power Line, Paul Mirengoff explores “Cory’s Complaint:” “The six Dems who have locked up places on the debate stage are Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, and Tom Steyer. On this list are two women, a gay male, and a Jew. Clearly, it is a diverse group. To say that it contains ‘no diversity whatsoever’ is to read women, gays, and Jews out of the identity politics game. Heretofore, only Jews have been read out. Two more candidates — Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard — aren’t far from qualifying for the next debate. They are of Asian origin. Does Booker deem Asian-Americans non-diverse? What Booker means is that there may be no black and Latino candidates on the debate stage. Kamala Harris would have been, but she dropped out of the race. Whose fault is that?”

 

 

MSNBC blames itself, apparently.

Yeah, Trudeau is saying mean-girl things about President Trump so we shouldn't re-elect him seems like a winning strategy! Democrats should go with that!! It certainly does not prove that the "elites" think they are better than everyone? No, not at all.  <_<

Trump might be permanently buoyed by the 1/3rd of the country or so that are just die hard supporters of his, but a big part of the whole "Make America Great Again" campaign promise wasn't just an inward look, but it was also about the perception and standing of the rest of the world from other countries and his promise to bring that up, not down.  He was voted into office largely on that principle, which clearly hasn't happened as we're becoming the country that doesn't keep its promises.

 

We're losing our standing as that "city on the hill."

 

Trump's base doesn't give a crap about that, but no one is swaying the "Trump base,; his base wasn't the reason he got elected and won't be the reason he's reelected, if he is.
