    The Muslim invasion of the West continues, one free healthcare at a time.

    The National Republican Senatorial Committee went so far as to produce a digital ad emphasizing El-Sayed’s progressive credentials and endorsement from Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. — a move many viewed as an effort to boost him into the general election.

    Here’s hoping this goes as well for them as Hillary’s Trump gambit did for her.

      Their belief is probably just that his very Muslim-sounding name and chanting “socialist” is enough for them to propagandize his general election bid and scare off enough closet racists in the center.

      I wish I could be confident that that won’t work. But as Trump proved, propaganda can work and work well, and anti-Muslim sentiment has been a daily staple for Fox News and the right for decades. I just hope that people surprise me.
