The available data shows that an estimated 6 percent of delegates who attended the Republican National Convention weren’t white and only 18 were black, which, according to Daniel Donner at Daily Kos, is the lowest percentage of black delegates at a GOP convention since 1912.
And unsurprisingly, their platform reflected those good ol' 1912 values. I think that's when America was great or something.
And yet, to the camera crews covering the DNC, all delegates were people of color wearing silly hats.
Plus Terry McCauliffe whom they seemed to find irresistibly telegenic.
I'm just surprised the GOP had that many.
This is entertaining counter-programming at Fox:

Oh man! I loved Aragones in Mad Magazine! The "border incidents" and his full size stuff. Bought several of his books back in the days.
Edit- Ah! I can see the art is Aragones now, taking another look.
