The funny thing … George W Bush swung the Muslim vote in 2000<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 And why the hell not?\u00c2\u00a0 A small “c” conservativism uncomfortable with some tenants of the “gay lifestyle”, and hey — who’s that on the backhalf of the Democratic ticket and what’s he think of Israel again?…<\/p>\n

Then again, how is it Trump unites some anti-semitic spewers of “alt right” land with the hawkish Lukid government in Israel?\u00c2\u00a0 Things unite, then fall apart.<\/p>\n

So, in response to Donald Trump’s racist comment — we are\u00c2\u00a0dumped with the responses — clip various comments made by the members of the “Squad” — double back to highlight their unpopularity with members of the electorate (and, yes, Nancy Pelosi is right: they wouldn’t win outside their districts), declare this as brilliant strategy — Trump will now be running against these four, not the actual Democratic nominee.\u00c2\u00a0 And did you see that comment made by the Boston congresswoman?\u00c2\u00a0 Isn’t that something?\u00c2\u00a0 Did we mention polling shows them to be unpopular?<\/p>\n

Question:\u00c2\u00a0 How does it all play over in some weird parts of Pennsylvania Coal Country?\u00c2\u00a0 That’s all that matters.\u00c2\u00a0 And quit being a pundit, armchair pundit voter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
