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.
