In reply to the discussion: The most well written and fully fleshed out article on the Franken mess. [View all]GaryCnf
(1,399 posts)74. As you note
White women, even when including white women with college degrees, voted for the most reprehensible example of male arrogance/control in history.
While adding black women (who voted overwhelmingly for Clinton) to that total changes the overall percentage of women who voted for Clinton, the relatively small gender gap between black women and black men (who also voted overwhelmingly for Clinton) indicates that black women's votes were based upon racially-derived interests as opposed to gender-derived interests.
Do you disagree? I ask because we are using the same numbers.

You'd also hope they wouldn't believe her railroading schemes and help take down a Dem Senator.

It was her profession you can't ignore it any more than you can ignore that Franken was a comedian

Yes. Franken was railroaded and stabbed in the back by his supposed colleagues.
