So Republicans did the best gerrymandering for them, and tried to concentrate the districts they will lose by as much as possible. That way they can get two thirds of the districts with barely half the voters.

    An 80 year old black man is a "boy" to you? Whether you like it or not, almost half the people of Georgia wanted Lewis to be a Congressman. That meant he was going to win a district in Georgia. You may not like the Blacks and whites who supported Lewis, but that really does not matter. There were enough of them that Lewis was going to get a Congress seat.

    In the last Governor's election, Stacy Abrams (a black woman) lost by about 1%. Black politicians are getting ready to win the state in general, not just districts in the state.

    Like I said, lots of blacks and guilt ridden, left wing white trash.

    Absolutely, because of his racist attitude.

    Whether you understand it or not, half the people of Georgia couldn't have wanted Lewis since the population of that district was just slightly over 793,000 in a State you admit has 10 million people. 793,000/10 million is only 8%, a far cry from 50%.

    NOUN
    a speech or piece of writing that praises someone or something highly, typically someone who has just died.
    Obama delivered a political screed that had nothing to do with a eulogy.

    Almost half the people in Georgia want Lewis to be in Congress(that would be Blacks plus whites who are antiracism). It is in the 4 to 5 million range, of which about 700,000 live in Lewis' district.

    To gerrymander Lewis out of office, you would need district 4 to 5 million people into 14 districts so that they do not make a majority in any of them. That is not possible. So when the Republicans gerrymandered Georgia, they choose to put as many supporters as possible in Lewis' district, knowing that any supporters beyond 50% is just waste.

    You may want to be eulogized by praising your racism, and therefore Obama would be a terrible eulogizer of you. Lewis wanted to be eulogized for his opposition to racism, and picked Obama well to do that.

    Once again, Obama did a fantastic job of eulogizing Lewis, so Lewis was right to pick him. Obama would not do as well of a job in eulogizing you, or trump, so I agree it would be a mistake to pick him.

    Obama also gave heart felt eulogies to Bush(informally) and McCain(formally). trump sent out a vague tweet about Bush, and still sends out nasty tweets about McCain.

    If they don't live in his district, you can't consider it as a want. .

    If they supported the POS, they supported racism. He supported using when it came to benefiting someone what he said was racist to used to deny. If using race to deny is wrong, using it to benefit is also wrong. Can't have it both ways.

    To get him into office, his district had to be over 50% black.

    Obama's "eulogy" was nothing more than the typical ranting of a race pimp.

    The eulogy didn’t praise Lewis?

    You consider Lewis to be a "race pimp", so wouldn't the perfect eulogy for him be what you consider a "ranting of a race pimp." The rest of us consider Lewis to be an antiracist hero, and Obama's eulogy to be a beautiful honoring of that. Whichever you think, Obama's eulogy was perfect for Lewis... Much as Obama's eulogy was perfect for McCain. A lot of people are picking Obama to give them eulogies, because he is good at it.

    McCain and Lewis did not even want trump to attend their funerals. Bush was trying to figure out a way to avoid having trump attend, but there was no polite way.

    Well, it is nice we agree on something.

    Politicians are not as extremely required to go to the inauguration as past Presidents and First Ladies. Bush Senior missed trump's only because he was extremely ill(a reasonable excuse proven by his soon after unfortunate passing). Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Carter all attended. Does anyone think trump will do the same for future President inaugurations? Lets say Biden is elected, does anyone think trump will have the class to show up at the inaugeration?

    trump has never shown that minimal level of class before, and I doubt he will show it in the future.

    Trump has already said he won’t go to Biden’s inauguration. (if there is one)
