In a free country any nitwit can run. Letting the people decide is how we do it here. Perhaps you're residing too close to those South American dictatorships had rubbed off of your better judgment. In your world radicals like Keith Ellison would be denied the opportunity to run for office.
And the democratic party makes the radical Islamic and black gang members feel at home, but that's not the real story. The real story is those Radical Islamists and Black gangsters actually get elected.
You know perfectly well that it is not a free party, the GOP is a private organisation with it's own rules. Your "free country" argument is disingenuous. There is no reasonable comparison to Keith Ellison as far as I can see. You are copying somebody else's namedrop this morning? Ellison for example disavowed the Nation of Islam etc. as an adult, young men can be radical. Men change their views, some however have no moral conscience and change to whatever suits them at the moment (Trump's 5*? party changes). AND HE IS A FUCKING NAZI! *And from memory, all since he registered as a Republican in 1987? edited: Would a sane/honest party let someone like this in (as Pres nominee?) He announced affiliation changes to get cameras on him whenever he was feeling lonely.
I'm supposed to spend all day mired in some debate with a fanatical leftist about a non issue? Like I already stated, if the guy gets elected you have a story. Until then it's just another what if tale of fiction spun by wild eyed leftists. Kind of like Trump colluding with Russians. This is America and any dope can run for office. Hell, we've even had a criminally corrupt, business as usual political hack, a woman not even remotely qualified for office, her only claim to fame is being married to a former president, and oh yeah, she demanded a vote because she doesn't have a cock, even a screw ball like that gets to run for office. And she damn near won. Crazy place, this USA.
No I was trading my little finger tips off. Not elected, nominated. If the party takes the old head of the American NAZI party in 2018, it is a dog whistle too far. I get that many republicans have old sense values and don't really get what is going on in the GOP. It is seriously totally broken as too many nasty beasts there now and no law they respect. You can BS all you want about not qualified, you know its just sillyness. Stop howling at the moon and start talking sense or the GOP will split to three parties in five years. The dems are in FAR better shape as though they have bad problems, they are still talking.
