The big dog barks, but the caravan moves on

If you’re a Democratic politician, you uncomplainingly take crap from militant African-Americans; it’s what you do. Unless you’re Bill Clinton. He’s a former U.S. president. He doesn’t take crap from anyone.

 

Thus, as Steve Hayward notes, the Big Dog barked back today at Black Lives Matter protesters who interrupted his speech. Clinton shouted over the protesters for over more than ten minutes, rejecting their claim that Hillary’s use of the term “superpredator” in a 1996 speech about crime was racist and made her complicit in the murder of African-Americans. (Hillary, by contrast, says regrets saying “superpredator.”

 

Bill didn’t mince words today:

 

I don’t know how you would characterize the gang leaders who got 13-year-old kids hopped up on crack, and sent them out into the streets to murder other African-American children. Maybe you thought they were good citizens. She didn’t. She didn’t! You are defending the people who kill the lives you say matter. Tell the truth!

 

 

But this election season does illustrate why, adverse demographic trends and deep cleavages notwithstanding, the Republican party has a future. Socialist Bernie Sanders is as popular among Democrats as Hillary Clinton. Thus, Hillary isn’t just obliged to run from the left of President Obama; if elected president she will have to govern from that position.

Bill Clinton is Right About Black Lives Matter, But That Won’t Matter for Hillary

As you probably know by now former President Bill Clinton got into a raucous shouting match with Black Lives Matter protesters while speaking at a rally on behalf of HIllary Clinton in Philadelphia.

 

To be sure, much of his address was self-serving as was the case when he said this country needed a President "who will tell you the truth." The Clintons have scarcely a passing acquaintance with the truth.

 

But even the most accomplished of liars occasionally drops a kernel of truth:

As raucous as the Republican Convention will be, the Democrat Convention could be equally contentious if Black Lives Matter sees fit to make their presence known.
