Half of the U.S. men’s national team is Black. After decades of overwhelmingly White teams, the makeup of this team is powerful, writes @HenryBushnell.
I’m hearing from multiple folks who would know that @AndyBeshearKY had a very good night in South Carolina.
He brought the house down at the Blue Palmetto Dinner and made a real impression at Jim Clyburn’s Fish Fry.
Clyburn reportedly called it “one of the most incredible speeches I've heard from a Democratic governor from the South.”
That matters.
A Democratic governor who wins in deep-red Kentucky, talks like a normal person, leads with decency, and can connect in South Carolina?
Keep an eye on Andy.
Beshear presents Clyburn onstage with an honorary title. Clyburn accepts, joking it would be better if it came along "with some Kentucky bourbon."
(He later calls out to "break out the Jack Daniels," so it seems Tennessee might have an edge there.)
Mind you, when it was convenient yall was saying lame ass shit like “I am not my elders and ancestors.” Like they were ever weak. Just for them to show up and do more than us in their seasoned years while we tweet.
