THE ELECTION IS THE DEMOCRATS TO LOSE.











Democrats are the nerdy kid in school, and the Republicans are the school bully.   Even though the nerd excels in the classroom, he feels he must survives in the school yard by capitulating to the bully.


Democrats need to keep their eye on the ball.   The only goal they need to peruse is beating Donald Trump in the Electoral College.


All the policy wonk doesn’t amount to a hill of beans for an electoral college victory.   The only thing Democrats should focus on is running someone that can neuter Trump. 


Winning the Democrat nomination is a totally different fight than winning the Presidency.   Biden or Bernie or Warren might walk away with the nomination; but any one of these three would be raped by Trump in a debate.  He would go where they would not, or could not tread.


Warren has a plan for everything.   Of course, none of it is realistic as long as McConnell is in charge of the Senate.   Obama had great plans, but McConnell killed them one by one.   The main problem is, that when attacked by Trump, Warren would respond intelligently – which doesn’t work on a school yard bully.


Bernie reminds me of the old man yelling at clouds.  He would have the same problem with implementing any plan as Warren; and like Warren he wouldn’t know how to get down in the mud and spit in Trumps face.   He might bluster, but he would never land a fatal blow. 


Everybody loves Biden.  He is a good man and has spent his life in government service.   The problem is that Biden is passing his sell by date.    When attacked by Pamala Harris he didn’t know how to respond, and his come-back was: I think my time is up.    While campaigning in Iowa he said, ‘Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids,’ and twice in the last recent weeks he referred to British Prime Minister Theresa May as Margaret Thatcher.    Biden stated that the parents of the Parkland School shooting came to see him when he was Vice President.   The Parkland shooting was in 2018, and he was not Vice President in 2018 – he was probably thinking of the Sandy Hook School shooting.    When asked by the press about Trump calling him Sleepy Joe, Biden’s response was to challenge Trump to push-ups.   Biden might win the Democratic nomination, but Trump would eat his lunch on stage.
 

I understand what Biden is going through.  I am a few years older than him.   When in conversation, I go to comment on a person or incident and a word or phrase will not come to me.   I can visualize the object or person or what I am trying to say, but the word is not readily retrievable from my hard drive.    I would not presume to participate in a critical debate.  Biden is not up to it.


Again; the object is to beat Trump.   Policy be damn – we can debate policy after taking the Presidency. 


The pit-fighter we do have is Kamala Harris.  She is fast on comebacks, she is aggressive, she is take-no-prisoners.   She is black, she is a woman, she is by far smarter than Trump: she is everything Trump fears.   She could castrate him on stage; and she wouldn’t hesitate to do so.


Rather than falling into the standard Democrat mode of getting all policy obsessed and moaning and groaning about purity and politically correctness, we need to focus on who can take on Trump in a debate and make him look like the ass-hole he is.   In my opinion, Kamala Harris is the only one on the debate stage that can perform that task.
 

Fuck the poles.  I am not concerned about the idiot base of the Republican Party; I am afraid that the Democrats, in their naiveté, will hand Trump 
another four years.
