    Dems elect outspoken Jew hater.

    A Woman the Dems Just Elected Has a History of Making Some Pretty Anti-Semitic Statements.
    Ilhan Omar became the first Somali-American woman elected to Congress Tuesday night, prevailing in Minnesota's 5th Congressional District over Republican Jennifer Zielinski. Omar and Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib are also the first Muslim women elected to Congress.*

    Democrats are celebrating Omar's win and the diversity in their party, but they may regret their choice after scrolling back through her Twitter timeline. Here's what she had to say about Israel in 2012.


    Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza #Palestine #Israel

    It is more like the Blue Dogs abandoned ship in the late 90's. Clinton did a lot of public damage to the party with his blow job, but from what I have read, he was so heavy handed extorting money from the high dollar donors with constant demands for donations that a lot of them just quietly walked away.

    Funny watching the right try and shift the Overton window.

    Dems ran on a united health care message, and the party has single payer in its platform. All the candidates who won embrace single payer.

    If all dems have a united HC message, then it certainly follows that all dems elected, support single payer. Why state the uber obvious?

    Single payer has become the moderate position now.

    Don't count on it. Pelosi is great at getting people to fall in line. I have no doubt that she will be Speaker of the House. Now the question is how they vote on various issues. We have seen this movie before in 2006 where the democrat party ran a lot of "moderate" democrats vowing to buck the party. They all fell in line and they got crushed in 2010
