none of the candidates have a plurality of support. There is no consensus or mandate for change.

Simply put. If you are a member of the Wisconsin National Guard, do not schedule any vacations for August.

Pete Buttigieg is not really taken seriously by anyone

So any day now he will bring up the rear?

Hillary will never let Kloblowchar be the first female president. Not to mention, Klow has a rep of being a nasty bully like Hill behind closed doors. Trump would goad her into a temper tantrum.

“To be a believable presidential candidate a person must have extensive experience of the federal government or have been a state governor, or held a high military command, or achieved a great deal in private-sector activity.”

Except we’re talking Dims here that elected a community organizer just because he was black. So why not a gay guy for the same logic?

Mayor Pete, born and *reared* in South Bend, Indiana.

Sanders has a lock on old commies and young empty-heads.

Butt-Geiged appeals to Dem women voters. He’s young/energetic and openly gay, seems to be just so-edgy. Women see Butt-Geiged as another JFK or Obama(!?) and showcase their own tolerance and open-mindedness to their peer. (Don’t understand the appeal personally, but whatev!)

If Bloomberg managed to buy his way into Dem nomination, where is he going to peel voters from, to overcome Trump?

As for other Black Horse/Uniter, there’s always a chance, but I don’t see it in the near horizon.

“He would be a good candidate and probably a good president,”

No, I can’t let that slide. He was BAD at being mayor of NYC. He would be an inept, world ending, civil war starting, dumpster fire of a president.

What we are learning is that despite changing demographics and rampant cheating that have favored the Democrats for the past 50 years... they still have the ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. And most of us thought that was a uniquely Republican attribute.

For most Democrats identity politics is the driving voting reason. It was Obama’s color more than anything else, and mayor Pete’s homosexuality trumps his lack of experience. His homosexuality is in fact his primary job qualification as a Democrat.

The article sounds very reasonable. The problem is that the Dims are not very reasonable — they elected an empty suit community organizer.

We might see more iconic riot photos like those from 1968.

>> In this contest, he is the only person who was ever in any uniform except in school or at a costume party.

Tulsi Gabbard might take offense at that comment.

She’s out, unless someone “picks her off the trash heap” for Veep. It was Biden’s saving grace in 2008.

Let’s remember, we are talking about Democrats here . . . a party full of crazies and corruptokrats . . . there is no telling who those nutjobs will eventually nominate.

If you haven't watched this video, you should. It perfectly illustrates why Klobuchar is the goofiest lightweight in the race. It's very funny, despite being put together by the Daily Show.
