House Majority Whip James Clyburn believes having Bernie Sanders as the Democrat party ’ s presidential nominee could cost them control of the House of Representatives .

Clyburn agreed that the tag of ‘ Democratic Socialist ’ would “ be an extra burden for us to have to carry.
” Clyburn proceeded to flesh out his explanation as to why Sanders could potentially be a suicidal choice for the Democrats .
“ If you look at how well we did the last time [ in 2018 ] and look at the congressional districts , these were not liberal or what you might call progressive districts , ” he explained .
“ These are basically moderate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in , and in those districts , it ’ s going to be tough to hold onto these jobs if you have to make the case for accepting a self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist , ” continued Clyburn .
President Trump has picked up on the impending disaster looming in the distance for the opposition party , even portraying Sanders as a ‘ communist.
’ “ I think he ’ s a communist .
I mean , you know , look , I think of communism when I think of Bernie , ” Trump told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I think of Bernie sort of as a socialist but far beyond a socialist , ” Trump continued citing Sanders ’ honeymoon in Moscow .

But reports have already leaked out that he has somebody in mind .
Politico reports that “ Clyburn , who wields enormous influence in his home state of South Carolina , is planning to endorse Joe Biden ” according to multiple sources .

Had they not let his little minions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dictate the direction of the party , they wouldn ’ t be having as much trouble shutting their supporters down .
Clyburn sees the writing on the wall .

” Sanders convinces basically the same types that they don ’ t deserve the money they earn and that it is better tended by he and his classic red minions acting in the name of an all-knowing beneficent state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ states know little and are rarely beneficent .

Don’t Get Your Hopes Up
Though her district might get redrawn and her congressional seat eliminated by bitter Democrats, don’t get your hopes up that we’ll be seeing the last of AOC any time soon.
Reports surfaced last month that Ocasio-Cortez is being urged by her own camp to take on other establishment Democrats that she views as moderates – Senators Chuck Schumer or Kirsten Gillibrand. Those reports indicated redistricting could be a motivating factor.
Can you imagine somebody like this representing the Senate of the United States?
Worse, a Politico report prior to that indicated Ocasio-Cortez is experiencing an overwhelming groundswell of support for a future presidential run once she reaches the required age.
Democrats might want her gone but could unintended consequences propel her to the Senate or worse? Stay tuned.

The leading light, with his brother, behind Hollywood studio Miramax, Weinstein’s career spanned decades and he produced some of modern film’s most renowned and profitable ventures.
But along with his career successes was a record of rape and sexual harassment that gives lie to the image of the arts as a haven for tolerance and inclusion.
It was an open secret Weinstein behaved this way. Yet actors, actresses, and others flocked to be with him and be seen with him to reap the rewards of his sponsorship.
The revelation of his crimes sparked the #metoo movement and has led to a wholesale reappraisal in pop culture of their attitudes towards the institution of the casting couch and the personal carte blanche given to their most powerful players.
It, of course, stands to reason that Weinstein was a major Democrat donor, as to be anything else in Hollywood is close to career suicide.
As a noted Democrat, while he went about his campaign of rape and harassment he was lauded as a great person and upstanding citizen by the likes of Hillary Clinton and others in the Democratic Party establishment.

This will no doubt greatly please the Indians as they face serious security challenges from both China and Chinese ally Pakistan. Trump continued.
“The United States and India are also firmly united in our iron-clad resolve to defend our citizens from the threat of radical Islamic terrorism. Both of our countries have been hurt by the pain and turmoil of terrorism and that terrorism brings.”
The president not only references Islamist terrorist attacks against the U.S. and U.S. forces but numerous domestic terrorist attacks launched against India from Pakistan.
The president concluded with, “India will soon be the home of the biggest middle class anywhere in the world. And within less than 10 years, extreme poverty in your country is projected to completely disappear. The potential for India is absolutely incredible.”
It is indeed.

As one of the up and coming BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India, and China), that are tagged to gain sustained prominence later this century, Brazil and India are the two that are functioning democracies with a stable legal system.
India is the biggest of the two and, as the president said, her potential for economic growth is fantastic. However, that sunny prediction is clouded by her geostrategic position next to China and in regional proximity to Russia. That location, in the not too distant future, could prove problematic.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-02-28--Mike Huckabee Torches AOC for ‘Absurd’ Attack on Pence After He’s Asked to Lead Coronavirus Response

After Donald Trump announced this week that Vice President Mike Pence would be leading the coronavirus prevention efforts , Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ( D-NY ) was quick to respond by calling this decision “ absurd.
” Now , former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee is firing back at her in a big way .
Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter right after Trump ’ s announcement to blast Pence by bringing up the way he handled an HIV outbreak during his time as governor of Indiana .
“ Mike Pence literally does not believe in science , ” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted .
“ It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ charge of US coronavirus response as the world sits on the cusp of a pandemic .
This decision could cost people their lives .
Pence ’ s past decisions already have.
” Huckabee did not hesitate to respond to the young Democratic socialist by shutting her down .
“ She ought to look up the word ‘ literally , ’ which she uses rather frequently without understanding what it means , ” he told “ Outnumbered Overtime.
” Huckabee continued : “ To say that Mike Pence doesn ’ t believe in science @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the things that she says tend to be absurd.
” Huckabee went on to say that the “ health crisis ” we are currently facing as a nation should not be politicized .
“ The tragedy is , I think it is despicable that people are using this whole potential health crisis as an opportunity to get into very narrowly defined partisan politics , ” he said .
“ There is a genuine concern that we all ought to have , but it ought to transcend whether we ’ re the left @ @ @ @ @ @ @ issue : left , right , liberal , conservative .
It ’ s a vertical issue , we ’ re either doing it right or we ’ re not doing it right and that ’ s what we ought to focus on.
” Huckabee concluded his comments by saying that Pence doesn ’ t need to be a “ medical doctor to coordinate ” the effort and that his experience as a governor overseeing a “ state response ” to health issues makes him the “ right person ” for the job .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to bring together all of the public health officials and the top minds in the world to help make sure that we get the right response , ” he said .
Politicizing the coronavirus is a new low for Democrats like AOC .
We are facing a health crisis that could potentially bring our nation to its knees , yet Democrats are more focused on pinning it on Trump than they are on actually finding a solution .
We have no reason to doubt that Pence and the rest of the Trump administration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quell the coronavirus outbreak .
They ’ ve taken care of the American people for the past three years , and they aren ’ t about to stop now .

“ He ’ s totally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his own city when he says that .
