Thanks for perspective jmdrake

Who is your current favorite African American in politics?

Hmmmm....thanks. This gives some much needed perspective.

Much of the spending came after a poll in March from pro-Israel group Democratic Majority for Israel showed Bowman trailing by 17 points.
Bowman has emerged as one of Congress' most vocal critics of Israel in recent years, with Latimer running as a pro-Israel alternative in the heavily Jewish, affluent suburban district.
​

So it wasn't necessarily the money but possibly the demographics of the district that was the issue?

There is a reason why he lost AIPAC made sure he looked as if he doesn't have the vote.

As in who's currently elected to something? I would have to say Tim Scott. And I know [MENTION=40029]PAF[/MENTION] will say he has a lot of bad positions. But there are a few issues that are super important to me. Tim Scott is a Republican who was willing to reach across the isle on the issue of police reform just like Rand Paul did on criminal justice reform. But the Democrats in 2020 refused to play ball for temporary political gain. As for people with political influence who are not elected to office I would say Ice Cube. He is willing to reach across from the other side and talk to republicans. But even when he sat down to talk to Tucker Carlson and Tucker asked him "Have your views on the police changed" he unequivocally said "No."

Okay. But would that have worked if there wasn't a pro Israel voter base in Bowman's district to exploit? AIPAC wasn't able to take out Thomas Massie.

Agree about Tim Scott guy just seems to have a favorable disposition when dealing with tough issues

As you know I'm African American. One of my late great cousins was a high school teacher in the early 20th century and every day she laid a pistol on her desk. Another cousin of mine who was a principal in the 1990s and early 2000s hired military vets to work as janitors and double as security and get FBI gun training. Bowman is a complete idiot. "More guns equals more deaths."

Where's Joe Clark when we need him?

Ya , demograpics , you are correct , KY isnt gay/jew /dem, Massies No. Ky district , past Cincy is about 20 counties and won 19 w/ 63 percent. Massie is beloved.
