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 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? -
@emptywheel Did they vote in high numbers for a Democrat or a Republican? I don't get your point. -
@JoshuaHol The voted in high numbers for someone who wants to stop bombing their family members overseas who happens to be Dem? -
@emptywheel They participated in the Democratic primary. MI is open. -
@JoshuaHol Why do you keep mansplaining stuff to me about state I live in, have worked on campaigns in? - 12 more replies

@emptywheel@JoshuaHol You keep saying that, it keeps being not true. Bernie won by 19K votes, only 12K Dem votes total in D’born… -
@DanaHoule Dearborn's not relevant to my point. Only that Bush went there to court the MA vote.@emptywheel -
@JoshuaHol@emptywheel That wasn’t to you, it was to Marcy. There are assumptions I don’t think have been proven RE the Arab vote in D’brn

@emptywheel@JoshuaHol BTW, if the Muslim vote really did go against Hillary, why did she win Hamtramck, which is a Muslim _majority_ city?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@emptywheel@JoshuaHol …Bernie won Dearborn by 2,400 votes. Also, you seem to be assuming Bernie won bc of Arab vote. What’s the evidence?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
