HOW THE HELL DO WE EXPECT TO BEAT THE SHOWMAN/ CON MAN DONALD TRUMP WITH THE DEMOCRAT CONTENDERS FIELDED IN THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY?

There was not one person in the Democrat Primary in New Hampshire that can beat Donald Trump.   Oh, we have ultra-progressives, with pie-in-the-sky promises that will never get through the Senate and never become law.   These appeal to our left leaning primary voters, but they are not appealing outside our party; they primarily exciting the far left woke community, whose loud voice of support smother reality. 

All the people supporting Bernie Sanders are in a cult bubble.   Sanders is not electable.   He has a fraction of voters that support him passionately and an equal fraction of voters that are turned off by him.   Not great creds for a National Election.

Amie Klobuchar is bland.  People supporting her are picking the least of the non-electable candidates – they will settle for Amie. 

Joe Biden is past his sell-by-date.   If he can’t perform, and walk away in a Democrat debate as the consistent winner, he has no chance on stage with a showman like Donald Trump.  Joe’s big comeback is to challenge a push-up contest.

Buttigieg is bright.  Probably the smartest person on stage; but, older people, fundamentalist Christians, many blacks, Catholic parishioners and the Catholic Church will never support a gay couple in the White House.   He can ride high in the politically correct Democrat Primaries; but he is a non-starter in a national election. 

Warren seems almost like she is on amphetamines – hyper active – you can’t watch her more than a few minutes without burn out.   She has a plan – she has every plan – if you will wait just a minute, she will explain her plan in detail….  She is not the calm stable presence you wish for in a President of the United States.   You want enthusiasm in a candidate, but not manic behavior.

Andrew Yang will give you a thousand dollars, maybe two thousand; oh, what the hell three thousand…   If elected.

So those are the best choices the Democrats have chosen to support?

HEAR IS MY IDEAL POST-TRUMP GOVERNMENT:

President Bloomberg:  Bloomberg was a three-term mayor of New York City, the largest and most diverse city in the U.S.   He has the creds and experience to run this country.   He is a self-made multi-billionaire, one of the richest men in the United states.  He has financially supported democratic causes for decades.   He will emasculate Trump in a debate, and is appealing to many Republicans as well as Democrats. 

Vice-President Oprah:  Oprah Winfrey, similar to Donald Trump, is a television celebrity with a massive following.   She is an intelligent woman and business icon.   She could gracefully represent the United States on foreign and domestic issues.   But, moreover, she could intimidate the Republican Senate in the same way that Donald Trump has done.  We know the main object of every Senator and Congress person is re-election, and that is the hammer Trump has held over Republican politicians.    Oprah can play that card twice over.    Every time a Republican senator floats a conspiracy theory or makes an outrageous attack, or opposes a Democrat aim, Oprah could stage a Trump type rally in his district and destroying his chances for re-election; Oprah’s following dwarfs Trumps.  She appeals to women across party lines and to the African American community in entirety.   She holds the power to neuter Republican obstructionist, and it is easily feasible, with Trump type rallies, she could flip the Senate by mid-term elections.

Chief of Staff Steve Schmidt:  Schmidt is a Republican political strategist turned Democrat.   He is highly intelligent, no bullshit, and well versed in political of both parties.   He would be a bulldog gate keeper for the Oval Office and a valuable consultant for any president.

Attorney General Kamala Harris: We do not need to dive into the well of the House and Senate to fill cabinet positions.  Our aim should be to maintain our lead in the house and take back the Senate.   This is my exception: I would love to see this fierce prosecutor turned loose on the lawless factions of the Trump era.  She has the knowledge and tenacity to bring the federal law enforcement community back into normal functioning.   Harris is aggressive and knowledgeable of criminal law, which is what the next Attorney General will require in order to reestablish the United States as a country of laws, and hold those responsible that have violated the law in service of Donald Trump.

Secretary of State Pete Buttigieg:  Buttigieg is a brilliant man; he is a graduate of Harvard University, Oxford University and a Rhodes scholar; he speaks six languages.   He has an appealing and earnest demeanor.  He would be a most capable Secretary of State, and this position could be a step , as demographics change, toward further political opportunities.

White House Council Chuck Rosenberg: Rosenberg is a highly educated lawyer and has served in many positions in the Department of Justice, to include United States Attorney for both the George W. Bush and the Obama administrations.  He has a quiet, compelling manor and doesn’t bend to power. 

Secretary of Treasury Andrew Yang:  A self-made successful business man with vast knowledge of finance and Democrat values.

Homeland Security Secretary Eric Holder: Holder was Attorney General of the United States under Obama.   He has a sharp legal mind and impressive presence.   He has the knowledge and tenacity to straighten out the Department of Homeland Secure.   He would release kids from cages and reunite them with their families.   He would close down Trump’s concentration camps and bring the U.S. Border Patrol under lawful direction.    He would not hesitate to hold past human rights violators responsible.

Secretary of Interior Lisa Murkowski:   Murkowski is a Republican Senator from Alaska.  Alaska has large areas of public land and Murkowski has a vested interest in preserving them.  We should also offer ambassadorships to Republican Senators who would like to separate themselves from the stink of the Trump Republican party, opening Senate seats to Democrat contenders. 

George Carville head of FEMA:  Carville was the firebrand organizer of the Bill Clinton election.  He is sharp and political savvy; but more important, he is an excellent organizer that doesn’t tolerate slip-shod performance.   Carville has lived through the devastating hurricane in New Orleans, so has a first-hand interest in disaster relief.   He would quickly shape FEMA into an aggressive organization ready to respond to emergencies, and he would retroactively take care of our responsibilities to the U.S. possession Porta Rica.  Besides that, I like his rants. 

There are other cabinet positions that will need filling, and I am sure the Michael Bloomberg and his team will choose responsibly.
