I'm happy more Dems are speaking out.

Fairfax can't say much publicly because he would become Governor. It's OK for him to not be public about it.

This circular firing squad behavior by the self-appointed keepers of the flame benefits no one except the reactionary bigots of the so-called “conservative Movement.”

I am not surprised to see so many of the same people who got played for fools by the right-Wing dirty tricksters who tanked Al Franken’s career out in front of the crowd calling for Northam to quit.

PT Barnum was right. There’s a sucker born every minute. Alas, all too many of them seem to be Democrats.

While African Americans comprise thirteen percent of the population they provide Democratic presidential candidates with over 25% of their votes. In fact the last Democrat to win a plurality or majority of the white vote was Lyndon Baines Johnson. They are indispensable.

Fast forward to today. Debbie Stabenow a white Democrat, running for re-election lost the white vote 45-53 to an African American Republican while winning the African American vote 90-8.

You can't buy that kind of party loyalty.

Every person with a D after his or name who runs for office benefits from this huge built in 90-10 advantage. Ralph Northam abused it, and if for no other reason he has to go.
