Even the sexuality of the person running is not much of a consideration.<br /><br />But years ago I discovered that the Harris County Democratic Party was anti-Latino not in words but in action. But probably the Sander type Democrats can't imagine that they are racists and or bigots. They don't talk the talk but they do the walk.memehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744596237327127713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-83685463071621418172016-06-09T17:05:17.525-05:002016-06-09T17:05:17.525-05:00Agreed on Warren, on both reality on the ground an...Agreed on Warren, on both reality on the ground and on head fakes, tho Reid seems to like her. And, I think Sanchez prolly wasn't on the short list because this was the expected primary result some time ago.<br /><br />Perez is on my guessing list; I'll be doing a post for Monday morning.<br /><br />That's the word from @realDonaldTrump.Gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075757287807731373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-37603240278582602402016-06-09T12:58:29.145-05:002016-06-09T12:58:29.145-05:00Sanchez isn't on this short list (Castro and L...Sanchez isn't on <a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/who-could-clinton-choose-her-vp-cheat-sheet-n586756?google_editors_picks=true" rel="nofollow">this short list</a> (Castro and Labor Sec. Perez, my personal favorite, is). Despite all the chatter around Warren, I can't see Clinton picking her to assuage Berners, and not just because she's from a blue state; as you know, the R guv picks her replacement, costing Ds a vote in the Senate. This whole Warren talk feels like a head fake to me.<br /><br />Presidential nominees usually go with someone they're comfortable with, and today I'd mark Tim Kaine as the front-runner.PDiddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05851660342241127485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-24021524520716136112016-06-09T12:22:30.462-05:002016-06-09T12:22:30.462-05:00Per a previous post of yours, without the jungle b...Per a previous post of yours, without the jungle ballot, I had been thinking Loretta Sanchez as a possible Hillary Veep. That said, two minority women scrambling for Democratic support should be fun.Gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075757287807731373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-24756372436416530992016-06-09T11:55:04.851-05:002016-06-09T11:55:04.851-05:00First, agreed that we can vote for Dems in offices...First, agreed that we can vote for Dems in offices where there's no Green, or no good Green, which also can happen.<br /><br />Second and more importantly is your callout of tribalist bullshit.<br /><br />Hey, "Dems right or wrong"? Keep doing this and some of us will be more reluctant to actively support downballot candidates.Gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075757287807731373noreply@blogger.com
