Self-defeating Democrats

Sun., Aug. 11, 2019

Is race-baiting going to be all the Democrats are able to come up with to try to defeat President Trump in 2020?

Referring to the editorial board of the Baltimore Sun, one might conclude Baltimore isn’t one of the 10 worst, rat-infested cities in America. One might also conclude if Elijah Cummings was a person of no color, President Trump would have ignored his incessant personal attacks.

The fevered, frantic race-baiters are gonna see their party lose Biggly if they can’t manage to focus on a positive vein instead of playing to their own Trump derangement syndrome.

Well. Keep it up Democrats, and you will help keep President Trump in office and lose more seats in the Senate and the House.
