Hasn't Cummings already said a lot of nasty-type things to begin with himself? I think so.

I rarely agree with Axelrod, but I have to agree Trump shot himself in the foot here, for the reason I stated upthread:  He called the voters deplorable.
Did he?  What I read was aimed at the city and the conditions there, not citizens.

Unlike Clinton who specifically attacked the voters:

“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” Clinton said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.”

Trump slams Cummings as a 'brutal bully,' claims Baltimore district 'far worse' than southern border
@mystery-ak

Cummings is smart and his history is of a man wanting to learn more, and he did, and he does.  Trump's history compared to Cummings - Trump is a piece of bovine scat and Cummings is a piece of gold.  Now, most here will dump on Cummings but read his history on Wikipedia.  His accomplishments are there and that is fact.

And yet, he still espouses political doctrines and views that are simply irrational and uneducated.  Why is that?

I agree wholeheartedly with Cummings' statement.   The American people need to pay attention to these Robespierres obsessed with overturning the results of a free and fair election   Yes,  our democracy (and Republic) are at stake!

That is your opinion.

Yes, it is.  But is it a wrong opinion?  Has Cummings introduced legislation or supported policies that have improved the lives of people generally, or his constituents in particular?  Or has he supported policies which have now been shown to hurt people and their prospects?  To make it less likely, not more likely, that they will improve their lot in life and build better communities?  Democrat policies have, for the most part hurt people, not helped them.  Cummings is a Democrat, and a leading democrat, and it is therefore more than fair to lay some of the blame for that harm directly at his feet.

So, if Cummings is such a wise Solomon, as your opinion says he is, why does he continue to support democrat party policies that do nothing more than hurt the very people he claims to want to help?  Would a smart person continue to support such policies, or would a smart person learn from his mistakes and find other policies more suited to accomplishing the stated aim of improving people’s lives?

That is fact, not just my opinion, and since my opinion is founded on those facts, there is likely to be a degree of truth to my opinion. 

Your opinion - that he is a smart wise person - not so much factual support.

So you are willing to give up on a constitutional government and embrace Marxism all because you hate Trump

Baltimore's perpetual trash problem
Baltimore Sun, Apr 11, 2019, Editorial Board

Why can’t we have a clean city? It’s a problem that has perplexed generations of mayors in Baltimore. Call it the perpetual trash nemesis.

Decades of tactics have been tried to beat it. William Donald Schaefer’s Trashball campaign urged people to ball up their debris and toss it into a receptacle like a two-point shot. Kurt L. Schmoke banked on people idolizing Cal Ripken Jr. enough to convince them to pick up after themselves as part of his “It’s Your Baltimore. Don’t Trash It!” initiative, while Sheila Dixon tried to disgust people into doing better with photos of rats. Her “Cleaner, Greener Baltimore Initiative”also included adding hundreds of trash cans around the city and reducing trash pickup to focus more on recycling. Then there was Martin O’Malley, who made a big splash showing up to neighborhoods like a rock star clad in a jumpsuit and hanging from the back of a trash truck as part of an eight-day clean-up tour early in his administration.

Yet, here we are again in a mess of a city. Food containers, balled up clothes, paper, banana peels, plastic bags and tons of other pieces of litter line the shoulders of roads, pile up in alleys and are strewn across fields and yards. Not only is it unsightly and contributes to a rodent problem, but it can create a glum and gloomy feel in a time when the city is already facing self-esteem issues because of high crime and the scandal surrounding the University Maryland Medical System and Mayor Catherine Pugh, who’s now on an indefinite leave, and her Healthy Holly books. If anything, the city needs a major scrubbing to help restore some of its faith and image.

[...]

But a cultural shift in the city needs to take place if Baltimore is to become home to clean streets and alleys. A change where people say it’s not OK to throw that hamburger wrapper out of my window because I have pride in my city. Those who don’t live in the city need to think about how they’d feel if somebody threw trash in their backyard as if it were the community landfill. To put it simply, too many people need a lesson in basic decency. And it’s people of all races, ages and socioeconomic backgrounds who are culprits of the widespread littering, which, by the way, is against the law.

Baltimore must have been one of the cities candidate Trump had in mind when he asked Black Americans "What the hell do you have to lose?!"

That doesn’t exactly carry a lot of weight when one of his principal advisors and son-in-law faces housing code violations and accusations of being a slumlord for Baltimore area properties.
