FOR THE 2020 ELECTION WE NEED TO KEEP OUR EYE ON THE BALL

I don’t give a fuck about Medicare For All.  I don’t give a rat’s ass about the environment.   I could care less about immigration.  The rich can go fuck themselves and keep their money.   Every policy that the Democrat candidates are expounding is falling on my deaf ears.

   

The only thing that matter in the next Presidential election in beating Donald Trump. 

 

Albert Einstein came to his monumental scientific concepts through ‘Thought Experiments.’ 

  

This is what I am doing in regard to the Democrat Candidates opposing Trump.

In my mind I see each individual Democrat candidate, one-on-one with Donald Trump, in a debate hosted by a major news networks.    

Joe vs Trump

Elizabeth vs Trump

Bernie vs Trump

Peat vs Trump

The outcome is not good.  Trump, with his showmanship and vicious personal attacks, name calling, confronting with half-truths and lies, will eviscerate each candidate on that list.

Trump’s confidence is that he actually believes himself superior to each Democrat candidate, because he is richer.    Trump the billionaire.   Trump the billionaire business man.   Trump the billionaire successful showman… “You’re fired.”

But then I see Michael Bloomberg on stage with Trump.   Bloomberg, who can buy and sell trump fifty times over.  Bloomberg, a legitimate multi-billionaire, a legitimate successful businessman.  Bloomberg, a take no shit, New York mayor.  

 

Trump would feel totally inferior to Bloomberg, and be afraid to attack him or name him, in his usual bellicose style. 

Bloomberg would eviscerate Trump on stage.

 

We need to keep an eye on the ball, and not get distracted by policy proposals and who can appeal to which section of our base.   We all need to unite on the person that can put down Trump; and that person is Michael Bloomberg. 

 

I am confident that we will win the popular vote with any of our candidates.  But, our best chance to win the Electoral College in the swing states is not with policy, but by making Trump look small, making Trump look weak, making Trump look like the insecure, ridiculous clown he actually is.

In order to do this, we have to make Trump feel small, weak and insecure on stage against his Democrat opponent.

Trump would actually fear Michael Bloomberg, and in my thought experiment, in a one-on-one debate against Bloomberg, Trump would lose control, and crash and burn on stage for all to see. 

In my opinion, Bloomberg is our best chance to defeat Donald Trump.

WINNING THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

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.
