Will the Congressional Black Caucus welcome her if she wins?

[SatinDoll]

No, they will not.

[SatinDoll]

No, they will not.

[sten]

alright !!!

who cares about qualifications ... judge her by her race

[Hildy]

What problem do you have with her qualifications?

[GraceG]

I would say someone who isn’t IN politics is vastly more qualified to shake things up than someone who has or is looking to make a career out of it.

I hope that Mrs. Love wins. She would instantly become a major celebrity.

"New to a big political stage, the Saratoga Springs mayor bested two well-known former state lawmakers for the Republican nomination in the 4th Congressional District. She drew a boisterous ovation from delegates at the state GOP convention and said six-term Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson should be scared because he's never seen a candidate like her. "It was quite striking," University of Utah political science professor Matthew Burbank said of Love's convention win. "It was certainly a surprise to me." The National Republican Congressional Committee has targeted Matheson almost since he took office, and has him in its sights again." -@Deseret News

Maybe she and West can start their own CBC as in Conservative Black Caucus. I believe there are a few others that would join in.

[kidd]

A black woman republican would be a target, not a celebrity.
Look how Condi Rice was treated by the left

[paudio]

I think they will reject her on the ground that she’s Haitian American, not African American like they are (or Theresa Kerry).

[sten]

anyone that draws attention to their race is by definition... racist

if her qualifications were strong, she would not bring up the concept of race

[RobbyS]

Holy Toledo! Up pops another Sarah!

[digger48]

uh oh.....sounds like somebody not only got off the porch but done runned away from the whole plantation.

She must and will be destroyed

[Islander7]

It’s just that nobody expected her to hail from Utah.

Excuse me!! Angela is a Mississippi, Black Republican lady who ran
for congress in Mississippi's 1st congressional district in 2010.

Matheson was pretty popular in his previous district. He won term after term because he was 85% conservative on most issues, and he had good name recognition. But he’s in an mostly all-new district this time, and Mia Love has the Republican momentum behind her. Send Love a little love ($$$).

[Sivad]

A choice speaking time at the GOP national
convention and she’ll be a lock.

[Choose Ye This Day]

When did Mrs. Love draw attention to her race?

Crawl back in your pants and and pull the zipper down behind you.
