Edsall, if I\u2019m not mistaken, has written for the Washington Post.\u00a0 Now he\u2019s with the New York Times. Although he may have always been with the Times.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure.\u00a0 But it was <a href=\"https:\/\/campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com\/2011\/11\/27\/the-future-of-the-obama-coalition\/\">Thomas B. Edsall that in November of 2011<\/a> wrote a piece published in, I think, the New York Times\/Washington Post &#8212; again, I don\u2019t recall &#8212; in which he made it clear&#8230;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_271526\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-271526\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-271526\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Screen-Shot-2018-04-19-at-1.40.31-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Screen-Shot-2018-04-19-at-1.40.31-PM.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Screen-Shot-2018-04-19-at-1.40.31-PM-239x300.png 239w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-271526\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thomas B. Edsall<\/p><\/div>\n<p>He was writing almost as a member of the Obama presidential campaign strategy team, and he was writing that the Obama Democrat Party was going to officially write off the &#8220;white working class vote&#8221; for the 2012 Obama reelection effort and would instead focus on the rising total of minorities and use that as the targeted base. Because the white working class didn\u2019t like Obama much to begin with. They were Reagan Democrats of old.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how I remember Thomas B. Edsall.\u00a0 So they basically went out and said, &#8220;We\u2019re not interested in the white working class. They don\u2019t fit the Obama mode. They are the old America. They don\u2019t represent the future,&#8221; and the Obama team said, &#8220;We\u2019re throwing in with the future,&#8221; which was illegal immigrants and any other minority group they could find to put in their coalition.\u00a0 Well, Thomas B. Edsall is back.He has a piece here at the New York Times called &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/04\/19\/opinion\/democrats-gentrification-cities-voters.html\">The Democrats\u2019 Gentrification Problem<\/a>.&#8221;\u00a0 Now, I\u2019m not gonna go into detail now, but it\u2019s coming up later, and I\u2019m gonna tell you what this is basically asserting.\u00a0 And he\u2019s right.\u00a0 &#8220;The Democrats\u2019 Gentrification Problem&#8221; is that the Democrats are the ones creating the gap between the haves and have-nots in the cities that they run, and he cites San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p>He says (paraphrased): Look at all of the improvements that are happening for the rich and for the elite, the people that live near the coast or on the coast.\u00a0 And then you look where everybody else lives, and you have to have a map of where piles of feces are for the tourists and the residents so they can avoid it.\u00a0 You have to have another map where the used needles and other drug paraphernalia litter the streets.\u00a0 Then you have to have another map that shows tourists where to avoid the puke and the vomit.\u00a0 And then another map to show them where to avoid homeless enclaves.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas B. Edsall is essentially indicting Democrats for creating this tremendous and widening gap between haves and have-nots.\u00a0 He starts out by saying, &#8220;The nation\u2019s largest cities and metropolitan areas \u2014 home to a majority of Democratic voters \u2014 are at the forefront of the party\u2019s most vexing racial, ethnic and class conflicts.&#8221;\u00a0 It\u2019s a long piece, but there\u2019s some excerpts in it.\u00a0 It\u2019s kind of brave, actually.\u00a0 You don\u2019t see the media blaming wealthy Democrats as the problem for poor Democrats.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/04\/19\/opinion\/democrats-gentrification-cities-voters.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-271502 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Paper-Cutaway-NY-Times-041918.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Paper-Cutaway-NY-Times-041918.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Paper-Cutaway-NY-Times-041918-300x115.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But let me help and sum this up.\u00a0 Let me give you &#8212; and I just did some &#8212; the practical manifestation of liberalism.\u00a0 Let me give you a list of things that you can count on happening, to one degree or another, anyplace that is run unchecked by massive liberal, authoritarian-type power.\u00a0 Homelessness.\u00a0 Wherever liberals and Democrats run things with no opposition, homelessness abounds.\u00a0 Dirty needles on the street bound.\u00a0 Now human feces in the street!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-260731\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-16-at-3.07.34-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-16-at-3.07.34-PM.png 666w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-16-at-3.07.34-PM-300x276.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>San Francisco.\u00a0 You can\u2019t get a more liberal-dominant city anywhere. Maybe Seattle.\u00a0 The great liberal utopia, the great liberal experiment! Massive homelessness, dirty needles strewn everywhere on the street, human feces in the street.\u00a0 I think along with this map that they\u2019re making to help people avoid the piles of feces out there, maybe revive the old Tiny Tim song (singing), &#8220;Tiptoe through the feces with me.&#8221;\u00a0 Add liberal tour guides and try to turn it into some kind of fun.<\/p>\n<p>You also have &#8212; you can guarantee that you are going to have &#8212; ridiculously high taxes.\u00a0 Wherever liberals run the show with no opposition that counts, you have single-party rule; an intolerant, lawless party. You\u2019re going to have sanctuary cities and sanctuary enclaves where noncitizen criminals are going to be welcomed to the neighborhood. And the noncitizen illegal immigrant criminals are going to be sheltered and protected from federal law enforcement, just as is happening in San Francisco.\u00a0 So if you live in a place run by the left, this is what you have to look forward to!\u00a0 There\u2019s a poll in California that says 59% of Californians want increased deportations.\u00a0 They probably want less feces in the streets too, but nobody\u2019s gonna listen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Edsall: &quot;The Democrats&#039; Gentrification Problem&quot; is that the Democrats are the ones creating the gap between the haves and have-nots in the cities that they run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":271506,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Thomas B.
