It carries the baffling headline, “2020 Democrats go all-in on ‘identity politics.’” It opens (emphasis mine throughout): Democrats thinking about running for president in 2020 are dramatically changing the way the party talks about race in Donald Trump’s America: Get ready to hear a lot more about intersectionality, allyship, inclusivity and POC.
White and nonwhite Democratic hopefuls are talking more explicitly about race than the party’s White House aspirants ever have — and shrugging off warnings that embracing so-called identity politics could distract from the party’s economic message and push white voters further into Donald Trump’s arms.
Were these issues not on white liberal voters’ minds before?
After going on to recount various (white) 2020 contenders’ steps, and missteps, on race in recent months—Elizabeth Warren’s strange messaging about that DNA test and Bernie Sanders’ talking about racism—among them, before getting to these two guys, who would seem to negate any argument about the Democrats’ embracing identity politics at their own peril: Other white potential candidates, such as former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Vice President Joe Biden, are receiving renewed scrutiny over their records.
You can’t run as a Democratic candidate for president in 2018 (or 2019 or 2020) without having to answer for things like this!
If you can’t, you shouldn’t be our guy!
The piece winds up to this conclusion: Trump’s dog whistles have made white liberals far more receptive to discussions of systemic racism.
The percentage of Democrats who agreed that “racial discrimination is the main reason why many black people can’t get ahead these days” went from 44 percent in February 2014 to 66 percent in June 2017, also according to Pew Research Center.
Among white liberals, 79 percent agreed with that statement.
Trump’s overt appeals to white identity have, according to these polls, inspired white liberals to rally around underrepresented groups—a positive response to a dark, evil thing!—but these numbers going up mean must mean the other side’s numbers are going down, leading to the widening of the fabled “partisan divide.” By acting less racist, liberals are making things worse, somehow!

Insulting Andrus: Risch’s temper tantrum lets us peek behind the curtain of Idaho politics...
Cecil Andrus as simply the petty and embarrassing episode that it is.
Never miss a local story.
Such contretemps always excite political journalists eager for anything to enliven a story about a federal spending bill.
So, the point beyond the pugilism: Politics is about relationships.
That led to an alliance with Republican Simpson.
Simpson in turn worked with Risch to get the wilderness bill through the Senate in 2015; Risch had stopped an earlier version.
So what happens to these relationships?
? Between Risch and his put-out Senate colleagues?

White House Rejects Supremacist Label: “No One Has Done More Than Trump to Prove White People Are Not Superior”.
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Upbraiding the ESPN anchor Jemele Hill for calling Donald Trump a “white supremacist,” the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said on Wednesday that “no one has done more than President Trump to prove that white people are not superior.” “It’s grossly unfair that Ms. Hill sought to portray Donald Trump as an upholder of white supremacy, when everything he says or does directly undermines that whole concept,” Sanders said.
“Anyone who thinks that Donald Trump is on some mission to make white people look good hasn’t been paying attention.” Sanders urged the ESPN anchor to “do her homework” on Trump before making baseless allegations.
“Read his tweets,” she said.
“Listen to his speeches.
If you still think Donald Trump is trying to prove that white people are superior, I tip my hat to you.” Ending on a personal note, Sanders said that she was “a hundred-per-cent sure” that her boss is not a white supremacist.
“Donald Trump cannot even spell the word ‘supremacist,’ ” she said.
Meadows: Rosenstein needs to be transparent with Americans
On 'The Ingraham Angle,' Republican congressman from North Carolina says the deputy attorney general needs to explain the allegations against him.
