Juan Williams: Trump's incredible shrinking GOP

--- Quote ---They say a picture is worth a thousand words.

So let’s take a look at the front page of newspapers after Democrats take the stage in Miami next week for two primary debates.

I’m telling you those pictures will bring me tears.

For the first time in my life, the field of presidential candidates for a major political party looks like America — a racially diverse country.

The debates will include a Jewish democratic socialist (Bernie Sanders), an LGBTQ person (Pete Buttigieg), two African Americans (Cory Booker and Kamala Harris), a Latino (Julián Castro), an Asian American (Andrew Yang) and six women (Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, Kirsten Gillibrand, Marianne Williamson and Tulsi Gabbard).

The GOP debate stage for their 2016 primaries featured one woman, one African American, one Indian American and two Hispanics. They were basically bookends for 12 white men who dominated that stage.

Don't shoot the messenger.  We need to see what the Lefties are saying!

Juan Williams is not the story - the numbers are and Juan didn't make them; he is reporting them.  Not reading this article, makes one less informed about the numbers that show how the electorate is coming together for a candidate, or not, and coming together as a group of certain types people, choosing the same direction, or not.  It is very interesting and I have copied and pasted it on my computer to consult the numbers presented as time goes by.   I suggest 'thinkers" read it and keep it.  If you read it, send me a PM about what the numbers mean to you if you do not want to post to everyone.  Let's be thoughtful about the numbers, groups of people, and not attack each other.

I don't hate everything Juan Williams says as I've listened and I have read quite a bit but otoh, some of his stuff is weak and this is too.

It's sad when we are letting identity politics dictate voting decisions... if this was all we do, perhaps if Repubs were the votes of all of the whites would probably stay up there for quite awhile, especially if the other groups had their own candidates, gays, Muslims, blacks, Hispanics and did not coalesce around one candidate, Hillary, Biden, Bernie, etc  and by the way, isn't Bernie almost as much as Secular? I don't know about atheist and agnostic but it's been brought to our attention, he's not really into his faith.

Biden and Bernie at this point are the only real contenders.

Harris flop,
Asian Yang, unknown.
Buttigieg, just there because he's gay, there must be hundreds of mayors in the US, some mayors of cities on par population-wise as South Bend,

And the list goes on, Klobuchar, Booker, indistinct unremarkable careers and so it goes.

Again, JFK said we'd land a man on the moon, now we are talking about a man running in female sports or using female bathrooms, no thanks.

For the record, Kamala that is partly from my understanding, Jamaican actually, I've heard her "African American" credentials questioned.

Article appears to be an editorial.

Also, I don't think there is much diversity in thought, most of these folks just put out the wildest of ideas, God help us should any of them be elected, especially if the legislature is democrat.
