Ready The Clown Car: The First Batch of Democrats Are Ready To Announce Their 2020 Bids

Former Clinton advisor and CNN regular Paul Begala is advising Joe Biden to forget trying to appeal to 'Pain in the ass white liberals' and focus instead on shoring up his support in the black community.

Former Clinton strategist: 'Pain-in-the-ass white liberals' won't win Biden the nomination

Joe Biden should focus on securing the black vote and forget "pain-in-the-ass white liberals on Twitter," according to a former adviser to President Bill Clinton.

Paul Begala, now a CNN contributor, emphasized that, historically speaking, the candidate who wins over black voters is the Democratic nominee. "That's not guaranteed to Joe. He has to earn it," Begala said, noting that this was the strategy Clinton championed.

Ron Brownstein, senior editor at the Atlantic, posited that black voters "pick the winners," to which Begala added, "Not the pain-in-the-ass white liberals on Twitter."​

Joe might be smart to listen to Begala on this one. It might be a little touch and go through the primaries. But if he can secure the nomination with this approach, he will be in a much better position for a general election, as he will not have to take a long-haul flight from the far left, just to move close enough to the center to appeal to moderate voters.

 

I find that reassuring in a strange sort of way.

However, Kamala Harris may still have a chance if she goes all-in incendiary racist and fans those flames as hot as she can get them. That has of course been her clearest path right from the start of this contest. She took a step in that direction when she went after Joe Biden in the first debate. But she is going to have to do this on a sustained basis in order to make this approach work for her.

To be fair, it is too soon to start that yet. This sort of white-hot racist frenzy might be sustainable for a few months, but for a year? That is too long.

Also, there will all but certainly be some sort of racial incident over the next few months that the Democrats and the media will exacerbate in an effort to whip up the hostilities of the racist left, for whoever the Democrat party nominee is. Harris would be smart to keep her powder dry until after that incident takes place, and then get out in front of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, both of who are aging, and use that opportunity to establish herself as the new chief Democrat left black race huckster, who also just happens to be running for president.

Stranger things have happened. And isn't it strange to see this contest dominated by three old white people? There are a lot of racially obsessed Democrat voters who are going to be quite open to another option.

 

Democrats in the Senate appear to be rooting for Joe Biden to with their party's nomination, as they believe their lives will be made much easier by that outcome.

Democratic senators quietly hope Biden wins over rivals

There’s a growing sense among members of the Senate Democratic Conference that life would be easier if Joe Biden wins the party’s presidential nomination instead of his two closest competitors, Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

Most Democratic senators are staying neutral in a presidential race that includes six sitting senators along with Biden, who served for decades in the Senate before becoming former President Obama’s vice president. Many don’t want to take sides in a battle that is pitting colleagues against one another, and senators obviously don’t want to create bad blood with any contenders — who will either return to the Senate or end up at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Yet a number of Democrats privately acknowledge that if Warren or Sanders wins the nomination, it will create immediate tension within the party. The two progressives are to the left of many of their colleagues, and some of their best-known proposals, such as “Medicare for All” and free college education, do not have widespread support within the Democratic caucus.​

 

One might think that these candidates that falsely accused Justice Kavanaugh and in some cases called for his impeachment, would want to repair the damage done to their own credibility and character by apologizing for these vile and uncalled for attacks. So far, it has not happened.

Will any 2020 Democrat apologize to Brett Kavanaugh?

It’s now been three days since The New York Times corrected — er, retracted — its attack against Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Turns out the “new allegation” isn’t supported by the victim, a fact conveniently left out of the story.

And still Kamala Harris, Liz Warren, Beto O’Rourke, Julian Castro and Pete Buttigieg have not apologized or reversed their calls for Kavanaugh to be impeached.

How long will it be before at least one of them shows the basic decency and fairness to take back the impeachment demand? We’re waiting.​

 

Not only on election day, but at the convention as well. At least starting on the second ballot.

 

If there are any more despicable, nasty, dishonest and entirely unprincipled people here in our country than American Democrat leftists, it is not in any way clear who that could possibly be.

 

TDS.

Democrat leftists as far worse than Trump. And it is hard to see how that could be possible without the nearly impenetrable lack of self awareness that is possessed by Democrat leftists with these sort of despicably nasty and aggressively deceitful personality afflictions.

 

The completely despicable and entirely uncorroborated smear campaign against Justice Kavanaugh, which the New York Times has just recently re-animated afresh.

Lie through your teeth and deny that. If you are a despicably unconscionable lying liar, that is.
