Apples and oranges obviously. A demographically heterogeneous Party has demographically representatives and leaders. A demographically homogeneous party does not. You can choose not to make that a normative goal, but descriptively, the differences are clear.

Judging Ds by their own standards. But it's not as if there are no women (Dr Birx), black officials (Ben Carson)...the Tea Party era GOP brought in quite a crop of statewide Republicans of various types of diversity - Cruz, Rubio, Haley, Tim Scott, Jindal, Sandoval, Martinez, etc

No. No no no. The “standard” is whether a party has a representative group of **top officials and politicians** that represents its rank and file. I guess you can say Rs do too. This is similar to when you criticize liberal and leftists for, say, not acknowledging that FDR was

I think I did tweet about the Harvard thing a few times. I couldn't really top the FreeBeacon piece.

This is a solid piece. The only thing I woujd have added to it is that Chicago was no better than Harvard at first and also had to be prodded by students/faculty to cover everybody. I think these wealthy private universities are totally fair game here.
