I disagree with her and think she’s full of it but she’s sharp as hell. Just saying that just because someone says she’s an idiot doesn’t mean they’re racist.

I think bigger idiots are those that take comments such as that made by Candace seriously as opposed to recognizing the point she is making.
Don't forget "well spoken".

Clean? WTF? Michael Steele was pretty "clean" but I'm unsure of your application of that word.
Some white people think blacks are dirty, so if they find one they view as "clean" they tell the world about it.

A. He is the former chairman of the GOP, right? I'm sure he's still a registered Republican.
B. Is he now caucasian?

I'm still curious what the use of the term "clean" is here?
Here you go! Directly from none other than Corn Pop.
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Joe Biden planned to spend Wednesday focusing on his official announcement that he was running for president, but the Delaware Democrat instead found himself defending remarks he made to the New York Observer about his Democratic opponents.
In the article published Wednesday, Biden is quoted evaluating presidential rivals Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-New York, former Sen. John Edwards, D-North Carolina, and Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois. His remarks about Obama, the only African-American serving in the Senate, drew the most scrutiny.
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."

If you're wondering who shouted during the State of the Union speech it was the Representative that is married to a convicted sex offender and received her GED (on her 3rd try) just a few weeks before running for office.

The D's have a few of their own that fall into that category. The post-speech activity was fun to watch. Al Green got Biden's autograph, took a selfie with him then followed him out the door. If you're in Congress you're in the Legislative Branch. You shouldn't treat the POTUS like a celebrity. Yes, you work with your party but have some dignity!
There were others like Al Green but he was the most egregious that I saw.
Then you didn’t notice the honorable Sheila Jackson hanging onto him. I thought she was assigned to help him walk at first.
And truthfully there were a few occasions I wanted to yell at him too. I’d like to think my respect for decorum would have kept me quite though.

At one point Boebert and Green chanted "Build the Wall". Maybe they thought they were at a Trump rally?
As I look to retire away from Seattle (still a few years off) I'm going to make a list of Left/Right crazies in Congress. Whatever districts they represent will be removed from consideration. Unfortunately, that list seems to be getting longer all the time due to gerrymandering.
You are being short-sighted and overlooking that things can shift in just a few terms...there are plenty of Districts in Texas, for example, that USED to be reasonable and now are infected by the libtile mentality. I hold out hope that common sense prevails in November and the results from yesterday give me hope given that the GOP kicked the *** of the Dems in turnout in the metro areas.

Our bipartisan gerrymandering is leading to safe districts. These lead to the worst of us being elected, in general. There's no real push back on unreasonable trolls like Bohbert or MTG.

I'd add Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar to that list too. There are elements of both parties that support the extremism. Flamethrowers over legislators.

I get the frustration with the old guard politicians but if these narcissistic ******** who are more interested in twitter views than legislating are the answer I'll stick with the old fogies.
And they ousted Scott Tipton who was an actual legislator for a ****-flinging assclown.

I don't know enough about her district in Colorado other than it's being absorbed into another in which she likely will end up a 1-term Congressperson. Still, the extremists coming from the very rural and deep urban districts are unsettling. They seem to be the root of our partisanship.
The Dems are discovering that you can only shovel in so much crap before the proles have had enough! What you call extremists, most rational people would simply call persons capable of rational thought. We see through the crap and are sick of being taxed to death to pay for massive policy failures.
We don't want every illegal admitted simply because they cleared an over-grown creek. We don't want males competing against females simply because the male claims some delicate fee-fee despite having had a full goddamned male puberty. We don't want crack pipes and drug kits being disseminated. We don't want cities allowing the open and brazen trashing of communities because of prosecutors who won't do the ONE job they have.
Really? I think she's running in the new 3rd District, which projects to be R+15. Dems aren't flipping that seat - definitely not in '22. She has two primary opponents, but I don't think she's being paired with any incumbents. Unfortunately if I was a betting man, I'd bet on her winning. And frankly, I don't think Democrats want her gone. She helps them a lot more than she hurts them.
Big cities have always elected crackpots. Rural areas used to represent people more like Scott Tipton and tended to avoid ****-flingers, because their members were expected to deliver (usually pork). ****-flingers don't do that. In recent years, they've stopped caring about the pork and put more focus on the ****-flinging.

I was dealing with dated info. One early idea was to add Boulder, Joe Neguse (D) to Boebert's District. Evidently that didn't happen. All 7 incumbents remain in comfortably safe districts even with the addition of the 8th district.
I can attest based on visiting/chatting with family in Western Nebraska, rural citizens prefer ****-flingers now.
