“ Being of African descent and young is not an “M.O.” (presumably a modus operandi), and the incidences of crime, whatever else they may be, are not “disproportionate.”

What exactly is that supposed to mean?

The common factor in all the candidates is no, that is zero, charisma.

None are actually likable and not a single one exhibits a personality the public can adore. There is no wow. There is no aw’right! There is no zest.

Tulsi looks good in a wet suit. Can't say about the others yet.

He would be an inept, world ending, civil war starting, dumpster fire of a president.

To counter your argument, you've just described the immediate past pResident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Not that I'm saying Doomberg would be any better or worse.

none of the candidates have a plurality of support.


In New Hampshire, not even close. None of them even came close to the number or proportion of votes given to the candidate who lost the last NH primary in a landslide.

Bloomberg and his money is the new “moderate” great white hope for Dem political elites displacing the rest of the field. His money has bought him a podium on the debate stage and no doubt his money will buy him the nomination, particularly when he offers to kick in a half billion to support Dem congressional candidates.

Well, I haven’t even given a thought about the black Orca.

She doesn’t want to be IN politics herself, only to nudge, so far. Will there be enough incentives for her to jump in this late?

I have my doubts.

That’s going to be her great punch line for her campaign? (snort)

Klobuchar is minor league material (at best), just wait till her time as the target of the whack-a-mole season from other Dems.

It has been the Progressive ideology which dominated the Media, which was the Democrats power base. That is what was the overwhelming factor in their success for the last 50 years.

Do not disregard Mayor Pete. He may sneak through the Line like a certain College Quarterback from LSU.

Worst case, he is the VP Choice so all those Moronic Liberal White Soccer Moms will have a chance to support the Gay Son they wished they had.

You make a valid point, but that is not what I was talking about. The US population in 1980 was 226.5 million. It is now 331 million plus 20 or 30 million undocumented people who are largely left uncounted. This is an approximately 50% increase. Do you know what the reproduction rate of English speaking white people has been since 1980? I will give you a hint... it has been going down every year and it is not enough to replace the people who are dying. So where did the huge population increase come from? And who do those people vote for most of the time? Where we live white English speaking people now make up barely 50% of the population. In some neighborhoods around here they do not make up 10% of the population.
