Elijah Cummings endorses Hillary Clinton after staying neutral for months

Elijah Cummings endorses Hillary Clinton after staying neutral for months

by Rachel Weiner at the Washington Post

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/md-politics/elijah-cummings-endorses-hillary-clinton-after-staying-neutral-for-months/2016/04/10/af305556-ff29-11e5-b823-707c79ce3504_story.html

"SNIP..............


Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) endorsed Hillary Clinton on Sunday, after months of staying neutral in the presidential contest because of his post as the ranking Democrat on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

“Families in Baltimore who are hurting right now need more than the promise of a political revolution,” Cummings wrote in an op-ed submitted to The Washington Post.

He added that Clinton “not only understands the challenges facing Baltimore and other cities, she’s laid out a clear and detailed agenda that meets those challenges head-on.”

A Washington Post-University of Maryland poll released last week showed Clinton with a clear lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) in Maryland’s Democratic primary, but her advantage has narrowed over the past few months. She leads Sanders 55 percent to 40 percent among likely Democratic voters in the state; a Baltimore Sun poll last month showed her pulling ahead by roughly 30 percentage points.

3. Very Telling

If Cummings was neutral for so long why did he come out now to support Hillary? To get on the bandwagon? I don't think so. My guess is that the numbers are really tightening and the Clinton campaign "encouraged" him to endorse to help stop the bleeding. This is great news for Sanders supporters.

7. Neutral? Cummings is an old Skool DOMA-crat, went along with every Clinton initiative including

the anti-equality Defense of Marriage Act, signed by an adulterer to stop them gays from getting hitched. His record is one of fear based half measures and a lack of concern for others.
Anti-Clinton sentiment runs deep at DU.

13. Same disappointment with Barbara Boxer...

But she has nothing to worry about either, as she's another Elite not running.
Can't get everything you want. Right? Now, Barbara Boxer has become another Ralph Nader.

The coming purge of the Bernie-bots at DU is going to be epic....and very satisfying to watch.

Elijah Cummings is a democrat. That means he waited until he extorted a check from the Clinton Foundation...and then he had to wait 10 days for it to clear.

The blue northwestern primitive is what I call a full-time professional gay; everything in his life centers around that he's, well, different, and he looks at it as a badge of honor, something to be proud of.

I wonder if he dresses like one though.

There's actually some normal gays on Skins's island, such as Wills, the William769 primitive, who dresses and acts normal when out in public (I have no idea how he is in private, though, but am not particularly curious about it).

This is only speculation, but I suspect that WillyT dresses and acts somewhat flamboyantly gay-ish, which might account for his being only a file clerk in a state governmental office even though he's 61 years old, and not, as a gay on Skins's island once put it, "sexually valuable."

That freaked me out the first time I read that, "sexually valuable."

Geezuz.

He's probably been getting monthly checks for a year or two.

Cummings hasn't been "neutral", he's just stated aloud what has been clear and obvious for months.
