This is what I was waiting for.

Faced with a black/asian woman, the Republicans just aren't going to be able to help themselves - their hateful bigotry is going to keep rearing its ugly head.

The key moment is going to be when Candidate Lardbucket himself lets some of his own racism and misogyny fall out of his festering gob. That's going to be glorious.

If you were in a red state during the Obama campaign/presidency you wouldn't be surprised.

Yeah, the overly racist shit that popped up all over rural NV was pretty disgusting.

Honestly, I more disappointed and surprised at more than a few older Dems I know saying they just “couldn’t bring themselves to vote a Black into the White House.”
