Juan Williams: Trump's incredible shrinking GOP

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.

More from The Hill

@All here

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.

Nah, this is just another "The Republican Party is the party of old white, uneducated men" nonsense.  It completely overlooks the fact that "Trump's GOP" is bringing blacks and Hispanics to the table....in numbers that worry the demonrats, bigly.

Candidate Trump's question:  "What the hell do you have to lose?" is still reverberating through minority communities.  He got their attention and he's delivering. 

The demonrats have every reason to be concerned.

I agree with you about what kind of nonsense this is, but we need to be wary of it gaining purchase with the Low Info Voters. **nononono*

Juan was an embarrassingly pathetic Clinton sycophant, though he did have a brief moment of glory when he honestly admitted that the possibility of Islamic terrorists on his flights made him nervous, and unsurprisingly got fired for it.

Numbers mean things - I saw it happen in the Texas Primary.  More Democrats voted in the primary than ever before in modern times in Texas and this was a big number.  Historically, in this state, Dems normally don't show up in big numbers in primaries in Texas - most wait until the general election.  That is now not true.  That is why Joe Biden is points ahead of Trump in Texas right now. This says Texas can go Democrat for US President and if that happens, there goes our Republican legislature/judges/etc.  Surely, we still have enough votes to keep the state Republican.

Impossible.  Your view of America is fascistic totalitarian and Progressive bordering on Communist.

That's not the view of American most Americans have Juan.  That's jsut the "ideal" view of you and the echo chamber you live in with your progressive friends.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Here lies in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS THE PROBLEM...NOT THE SOLUTION

Abbott was reelected with 56 percent of the vote. Valdez received 42.5 percent.    A little early to panic.

"I’d like to begin by addressing the heinous attack on the United States Capitol. Like all Americans I am outraged by the violence, lawlessness and mayhem...

To demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol: you have defiled the seat of American democracy. To those who engage in the acts of violence and destruction: you do not represent our country. And to those who broke the law: you will pay." - President Donald J. Trump, January 7th, 2021
