Democrats
need to focus. The object of the Democrat
convention should be to elect someone who can beat Donald Trump.
The
brightest and most able candidate is Mayor Peat. But there is an elephant in the room that has
so far been ignored. Catholics, white
fundamentalist Christians and the religious black community will never vote for
a gay couple to occupy the White House. Buttigieg is not
electable.
Like Hillary,
Joe Biden is the comfortable, Washington insider, considered next in line by
the Ol’Boy network. But Joe is not on
top of his game. Age matters when
creeping senility begins to show. Joe
is not capable of winning a debate against Donald Trump. He would be made to look foolish when
confronted with a Trump attack.
Of the front
runners, that leaves Sanders and Warren.
Bernie has a
young following. He is to the Democrat
party what Trump was to the Republican.
He might hold his on standing up in a debate with Trump; but Bernie is a
one trick pony. He is an outsider and the
overall enthusiasm for him seems to be limited to his cult followers. But we can’t write Bernie off.
Elizabeth
Warren occupies the same space as Bernie.
Though near the same age, she seems younger and is full of an energy
that most of the other candidate’s lack.
She can occupy a stage and is perfectly capable of going toe to toe with
Trump.
Policies be damned. The person who can beat Trump will have to occupy
a stage with him and make him look foolish.
It will be stage presence and pizzazz that will sway voters, not
policies. We need to keep our eye on the
ball and nominate someone that is exciting and capable of a counter attack.
The rest of
the field needs to drop out. They have
had their thirty minutes of fame, and now need to make way for the selection of
a candidate that actually has a chance of winning.
There are
only two choices: Democrat or Republican.
If you don’t vote Democrat you are casting your vote for four more years
of Donald Trump.
