Can Democrats learn to talk about race?
Hillary Clinton's "hardworking Americans" comment seemed to exclude blacks. Donna Brazile's "new" Democratic vision marginalized working-class whites and Latinos. How does the party unite?

  • Time to get real Joan....

    You're reaching again Joan. Save yourself the time you spend writing your column and just say 'I want her and not him.' There is/was no comparison between Hillary Clinton's remarks and Donna Brazile's remarks. Hillary's comments were divisive -- "I don't need blacks to win." Donna was reminding that increasingly silly Paul Begala that the Democratic Party is a big tent which does not categorize people; she was not "marginalizing" anyone -- and you know that. Twisting Donna Brazile's words is beneath you Joan. I think you should take some time off and regroup.
