Anyone pitching in on Condi Rice's comments on the race card being applied to Republicans?

She said she's offended by the way that Democrats are applying the term to Republicans. They are eating it up on Facebook, as if she is a reasonable, prudent person.

I don't even know where to begin.

lockstep and Party line. Waiting for cheney boy, bushi boy and the rest of the PNAC crowd to fall into place behind their orange fuhrer. He does have a certain level of power and influence. They do fear him and his fuhrer boys. No doubt at all.

join with those who rejected him. You know, UNITED we stand?

Btw, Rice called for Trump to drop out of the race back in October, late but on the right side. Nothing in the news about her, but this is interesting.

“After exchange w Trump transition team, changed my recommendation: stay away. They’re angry, arrogant, screaming “you LOST!” Will be ugly,’’ tweeted Cohen, who served from 2007 to 2009 as counselor to then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. He was a driving force behind an open letter last spring — eventually signed by 122 Republican national security leaders — who opposed Trump’s candidacy.

Cohen, who last week had urged career officials to serve in Trump’s administration, said in an interview that a longtime friend and senior transition team official had asked him to submit names of possible national security appointees. After he suggested several people, Cohen said, his friend emailed him back in terms he described as “very weird, very disturbing.”

“It was accusations that ‘you guys are trying to insinuate yourselves into the administration…all of YOU LOST.’…it became clear to me that they view jobs as lollipops, things you give out to good boys and girls,” said Cohen, who would not identify his friend. Cohen also said the transition official was “completely dismissive” of concerns raised about Trump’s appointment of Bannon, who Trump’s advisors have strongly defended. His friend’s email conveyed the feeling that ‘we’re so glad to see the bicoastal elites get theirs,’” added Cohen, who described the response as “unhinged.’’


As a black woman, Rice would probably be considered for a position standing behind Trump at news conferences, but I'm guessing she won't apply for it.

She even said that she wasn't going to vote for Trump. Only the Repubilicans that voted for Trump are racist. What other reason could there have been to vote for an obviously unstable unqualified narcisistic crooked racist/sexist spoiled privileged billionaire? The white male POTUS was verge of becoming extinct.
