My intuition says he is actually nailing it in electoral terms.
He's also given the Democrats a hard choice - give full support to and identify with people like Omar & AOC (who have said some pretty vile things) or distance themselves from them.
Either way it highlights the fact there is a pretty extreme side to the Democrats.

Like this Democratic lawmaker who tearful said in twitter says she was told to go back to where she came from .
Unfortunately for her the guy who she had an altercation with turned up to her press conference and pointed out that he’s a Cuban immigrant and judging by his ranting he loathes Trump and never actually said that to her.

It's easy to imagine what actually went down; an entitled fat bitch thought she didn't have to abide by the rules everyone else does, was called on it and decided to have her own Smollett Time.
The problem is the damage is done, the media have largely moved on and you won't see Di Blasio retracting his statements, nor the brain damaged Tom Arnold.

In the words of Anne Coulter “ it’s a fake hate crime , they always are”.
Reminds me of the Troon that burned down his own house with his pets in it and said it was a hate crime.

Apparently, according to witnesses, he told her to go back to where she came from - the end of the queue.
I'm no fan of Trump, but jeez, the Democrats keep machine-gunning themselves in the foot with their faux rage and hatred of Trump voters & supporters. They're total loons.

I think the phone is off the hook outside of the twitter fuckwitterati as far as the outrage goes. The polling of the "squad " backs this up, when you're so detested that they have to add not a typo after your polling numbers you're utterly toxic.
Id be interested to know if Cenk is happy with the way the justice democrats have panned out . In less than two years they've managed to make quite an impression.

I don't blame the crazies, I blame the moderates and the media who indulged this shit and allowed it to fester. Never about the principle, always the side.
I would add that for someone who apparently just had to use the quick aisle because she couldn't stand up for long, this odious creature didn't seem to have an issue standing for press conferences to spout her lies.

Standard fare from the left leaning hacks at CNN during the bilateral talks with the Pakistani PM - plenty of questions about the squad but not one question to visiting dignitary about the more pressing issue about exactly what was so deceptive about Chris Harris' slower ball in the 1992 CWC semi final. Fake news.

I thought Ilhan believed in a free ‘n open press? Yeah, nah.
If she has proof, she doesn’t need to make threats.
Occam’s razor sez her threats indicate she doesn’t have any proof, and nobody with a spine is going to take her threats seriously.

So many parallels with Ghahraman, fake back story ,claims of racism , legal threats when called on her bullshit , anti semitism . It’s all there

@Jaguares4real Really been impressed with Crenshaw and Cruz recently. Would be interesting if they have a crack at the big job after Trump. Would be pretty bad-ass to have a president with an eye patch.

How long until the wokest of woke SJWs demand changing the name of the capital city and the state?

Move to erase George Washington mural sparks firestorm among Dems
SAN FRANCISCO — A San Francisco school board decision to spend $600,000 to paint over a New Deal-era mural of George Washington as a slave owner is fueling a family feud among Democrats — with a growing chorus protesting that the controversial move may hand Donald Trump potent ammunition in his re-election bid.
“I think of myself as liberal, progressive, and have been all my life — but I’m just sort of stunned by this,’’ veteran Democratic strategist Bob Shrum said Sunday. “We have a little more important things to do — like defeating Donald Trump — than to whitewash a mural.”
Shrum, who today directs the Center for the Political Future and Unruh Institute of Politics at USC, set off a round of heated social media commentary Sunday when he tweeted: “I am a progressive Democrat, but this is nuts. Just because others are nuts, doesn’t mean we have to be.”
The San Francisco Board of Education voted unanimously last month to paint over all 13 panels of the 1600 sq. ft. mural “Life of Washington,’’ a historic work commissioned during the New Deal that depicts George Washington as a slave owner. The move came after several vocal protesters demanded the move at a public meeting, saying their children were “traumatized” by depictions of the nation’s first president standing over the images of dead Native Americans.

Cruz has a formidable intellect Not someone you want to debate in a Committee
Crenshaw I like as well especially on domestic issues Bit gung ho on Foreign matters namely Iran
