You used to say a muslim senator will never win. You used to say a black person will never win. It is pure ba to hide failures

I never said those things. I did say, "Well damn, my party would rather run a black man than a woman," and twice I've said, "Well damn, our country would rather elect a criminal than a woman."

Make that three times. I was around for Shirley Chisolm's run (but not old enough to vote) and like everyone else I knew a black woman couldn't get nominated in 1972. The Dems ran George McGovern instead, and Richard Nixon won in a landslide.

Like I said, for the boys the bar is on the floor.
