I agree with this ^^^.
Let us not forget though, the reason Donnelly is in the Senate at all is his opponent getting caught in a gaff that was set up as a trap. It was then exploited so heavily that even some of us smarter then that still believe it. Not to even mention, marginalizing this vote by rambling on about the "Republican's bad pick, last election."

Reading it again I can see it could definitely be taken either way depending on what the person want it to say. I don’t think Donnelly was being malicious and was trying to promote diversity, but as a public figure he should choose his words wisely.
That's all I'm saying.
That's fine. We all know what he was getting at. The minor issue is that he tried to turn a phrase. As used, "but" implied that someone should be surprised that an Indian-American or African-American would do a great job. "And" would have been without issue. However, it seems clear to me that he was trying to imply that there are others out there who would be surprised that people of different ethnicities are competent, separating himself from those people. The problem is, there is no purple for the spoken word and he was not sarcastic enough. I frankly love it when the virtue signalling falls flat.
If someone were to say, for instance: "Barack Obama is an African-American, but he clean and articulate", don't you think that implies something beyond the compliment to the former president?

He's an Indian-American, BUT he does a good job.
She's an African-American, BUT she does a good job.
It's not about their religion or their race.
Which is a religion. Does the guy lay around in s sweat lodge and smoke peyote?

Of all the reasons to dislike Joe, THIS is one? 
Someone robs a bank kills two hostages, blows up the third floor, and you're worried that they took two suckers from the cashier's candy dish?

No.
I think that it's amusing that he tried to show how progressive he was by clumsily stating that he employs people of other ethnicities. It's vaguely reminiscent of Mitt Romney and his binders and binders of women.
i just like it when the opposition says dumb stuff.

Left getting hoisted on their own invented petard.
It's much ado about nothing but if they are going to use it as a bludgeon I believe it should be applied equally. (see above with hitlarys comments)
Or it could just be someone pointing out that politicians in D.C. and in our cities have failed minorities, especialy blacks and Obama rose above that to become president so it's a success story of American proportions.
I dont like Barack Obama and I believe black community leaders have had a knowing and complicit role in holding their people down, but we have failed to properly educate urban youth especialy minorities in this country.
And fir the record, no I dont consider Obama part of that minority group.
I'll add that once most people are educated and learn how to access and understand information and they work and earn for themselves they tend to be conservatives

I forgot about the binders... that does bring a smile to my face.
As for the debate...meh. Sounded like just another forgettable debate. Joe pretending to be conservative, Mike pretending he'll do a good job, Lucy telling us how weed can solve all our problems.

Real CZ's have a long barrel!!
I guess people who don’t own guns have no dog in the 2a fight then, if that’s the logic you wish to use.
People get to believe in what they want, and prioritize their beliefs however they want. If that’s “feelings”, maybe you or I would assign a lower priority. But those are choices we get to make too. It’s fair to to make a convincing argument why your priorities might be useful for someone else too, but it is not one person’s prerogative to say another must be the same.
