Ilhan Omar to be symbol of Democratic Party in 2020?

That is the goal of Donald Trump. He sees a political advantage too good to pass up. It's all about dividing America and who wants to be on the side of the terrorists that attacked us on 9/11?

That was the purpose of his tweet. Nothing is below this man. There is no bottom.

1. How do we know there will be a Democratic Party in 2020? Don't you think he is 12 steps ahead

4. He is not 12 steps ahead, he is more like a cornered rat than a strategist.

Sure, the racists will go with Trump, but there 100,000s if not millions of black, female, Muslim, Hispanic, etc who don't vote for us yet. And we have plenty of old cranky white men. too!

I’d prefer the symbol of our party be the person who will be our party’s nominee.

He won in 2016 on racism and he'll try again in 2020. We need to not take his bait and stick to issues will help us get this evil sob out of office. Medical coverage, drug costs, fairness in the economy

The focus should be on more than one person unless that person is Trump. There are many different people doing wonderful things and that is what should be front and center, the overall diversity and the fact that we can walk and chew gum at the same time.
