On Diversity of Top Staff, Senate Republicans Outpace Democrats

Of 336 top personal staffers for the Senate’s 100 members, including chiefs of staff or legislative directors, only three were black in 2015, the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies’ racial diversity study reported. Today, five of those top staffers are black: One works for a Democrat and the other four work for Republicans.

For a Democratic Party that boasts that diversity is its strength, the lack of it among Democrat staffers on Capitol Hill doesn’t make much sense.

Kudos to the GOP for diversifying the support staff, I mean it isn't like minorities don't have experience in keeping things running behind the scene. They helped the south with their agriculture economy for centuries....

Let me know when the GOP shows diversity to the top spot like the Dems have already done.

I feel about it the same way you feel about Obama being black.

Picking an affirmative action baby does nothing but make it harder for the next person. It was a Democrat, Geraldine Ferraro, who accurately pointed out that had Barack Obama been white no one would have considered nominating him with his record. And, remember what Joe Biden said? ""I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

You give the top slot to an unqualified person who hates America and think that gives you a pass on hiring minorities.

Safety, I sincerely hope when you get government healthcare they pick your doctor as carefully as they picked the king.

Sounds like a quite country night! lol

There is absolutely no diversity within the Democratic Party. They all are in complete mind numbing lock-step on nearly every issue. They are all of one mind.

How many minorities have the D's ever run? The R's ran more this year than the D's have ever run. Cmon man. Look at your history -- the R's have advanced more minorities in political positions than the D's. Look at Bush alone. Condi and Colin. You guys acted like Loretta was the second coming and we were: Done that, twice. We just don't scream about because we deal on merit.

Most of the racial, gender and religious diversity will be represented by Democratic lawmakers in the House and Senate, even though the party is the minority of both chambers.

As for the "merit" claim...sure.

Speaks for itself. How many members of Trump's cabinet are from Goldman Sachs?

Merit. :rofl:

[DGUtley]

You think Bush picked Condi because of race? Really?

[patrickt]

The first black President will be a conservative. Barack Obama was a King, a wannabee dictator, a community organizer. He might have pulled it off if he hadn't been driven by a hatred of America.

Who did she replace?

it is not relevant.

Oh? Her replacing Colin Powell as SoS, is not relevant?

It's also just a coincidence that the RNC picked Michael Steele as their chairman as soon as Obama was elected, right?
