His comments saying that "white males are to blame for terrorist attacks in the U.S." won't go well even in his state of Ohio, a crucial swing state that Democrats cannot afford to lose. Will this further sink the Democratic Party with white voters forever?

Oh sorry, I didn't realize that McVeigh and the UNAbomber were African-Americans.

He's not wrong, but I doubt that the public will agree. There's been one or two Middle Eastern "terrorists," but if you look at Sandy Hook, Aurora, Tucson, and that one in Oregon a few months ago, they were all white men. I get what he's saying (and I agree with it), but I think that there's better ways to say it.

I don't think that Brown would've been a great pick anyway due to Kasich being able to appoint his successor.

Yeah Brown's right but white people will definitely disagree or take offense because of course they will.  I don't think he's ever been a great VP pick though.

19 Arab hijackers>>>3 white guys (two from OKC +Unabomber). I guess three is bigger than nineteen now. Is that common core math you learned in school, Lyndon?

I don't think most people consider school shootings and the like to be terrorist attacks. OKC, sure, but Columbine et al? No way.

Where to draw the line between terrorists and other mass murderers? Is Dylann Roof a terriorist?

He's a terrorist. Sherrod Brown was never a VP prospect.

No, this enhances his chances. Every day the Dem party becomes more and more like BLM

I think he is, because it was politically motivated. But Columbine isnt.

He never was a VP prospect, given his replacement would've been chosen by Kasich.

He did specify "since September 11, 2001."

Come on people, at least read the first sentence of the article.

Seems like the line of demarcation for most people is "was the perpetrator brown?"

When is the last time the KKK committed an actual terrorist act, though? 1965? They have like ~500 members left. The KKK is a group of redneck yokels, not an actual threat. The only major KKK related terrorist act I can think of is the Charleston atrocity and whether that fits the definition of terrorism (it fits mine) is debatable.

By the way, Brown was finished the moment he opened his mouth. Have you heard that voice? It's like he's Senator Tom Waits.

When was he ever a VP prospect? If he won and resigned from the Senate, his seat would go straight to the GOP.

This (he must smoke a lot of weed of whatever variety, and/or drink whiskey straight), plus the comments he was never in the hunt for VP, due to who he is, and the loss of a Senate seat. In 2018 however, this seat will be in real play now.

The past week I have learned from the left that the KKK is like ISIS or Al Qaeda and ready and waiting to kill thousands of minorities any moment.
