GWB went to Dearborn, courted Muslim-Americanss. He got 42% of their votes in 2000. Future: they'll vote like AAs. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/25/us/politics/republicans-muslim-americans-vote.html?_r=1 …

@emptywheel You have a party that's bombing ISIS and another seething with naked hatred for Muslim-AMERICANS that also invaded countries. -
@JoshuaHol You raised Dearborn w/o talking about how Muslims there voted this year. Yes, they'll vote Dem, but not wise to get cocky. -
@emptywheel It's been a shift that started in 2003. I'll be cautious when GOPers tone down their hatred. It's not subtle dogwhistles. -
@JoshuaHol Thanks. I know. But you could argue Dearborn result made the diff in Dem primary this year, which might be a first. -
@emptywheel Keep in mind that the largest group of Muslim-Americans -- 40% -- are black folks. -
@JoshuaHol Yes, I know. Again, YOU raised Dearborn. I think in doing so you should also reflect on whether aggressive FoPo will limit switch -
@emptywheel Bush went to Dearborn to campaign in 2000. Most Americans don't vote on FoPo, and the GOP aren't better. -
@JoshuaHol Then why did Dearborn vote in high numbers this year against Hillary? Aren't they Americans? - 16 more replies
