What Kind of Democrat Can Beat Trump in 2020?
The New York Times ^ | November 2, 2018 | Frank Bruni

Posted on 11/03/2018 2:17:04 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Corey Lewandowski managed Donald Trump’s presidential campaign for a year, co-wrote a book about it and keeps in close touch with Trump, as we were reminded last month, when The Times reported on a physical altercation between him and John Kelly, the White House chief of staff, just outside the Oval Office.

So I figured that his thoughts about the best Democrat to take on Trump in 2020 were as germane as anybody’s.

He told me that Mike Bloomberg worried him, because Bloomberg’s personal wealth would spare him the distraction of fund-raising, and that Joe Biden had the right instinct when he said that if he and Trump had gone to high school together, he would have “beat the hell out of him.”

He noted that Beto O’Rourke, the Senate candidate in Texas, had impressively crossed the threshold of celebrity. Andrew Gillum, the candidate for governor in Florida, had caught lightning, too....

They are looking for somebody handsome, with a great head of hair. He’s charismatic and always has a devastating comeback that puts down the speaker as well as putting across some Democratic point in a way that can’t be answered. He’s young and pro-alphabet soup, but married with two gorgeous children. In short, they are looking for one of their fantasy movie presidents who have appeared in hit TV shows, movies and made the speaking tours to rally the troops.

The reality is a bit different, though. The real candidates are mostly old and inarticulate. The best looking, Biden, is often photographed feeling up some young girl.

Nanny Bloomberg takes the white working class vote?

I don’t see him taking the ones who voted for Obama in ‘12 and Trump in ‘16.

And they are the ones most likely to jump ship,

"..Joe Biden had the right instinct when he said that if he and Trump had gone to high school together, he would have “beat the hell out of him.”

Why would anyone consider this violent statement "the right instinct"?

Its going to be Nanny Pelosi. She is young, charismatic, and can speak about the future of the Democrat party.

1) Raise taxes on Taxpayers
2) Bring in more Illegal Aliens for actual taxpayers to support.

3) Punish Americans and reward invaders.
ETC.

Add to the list, FReepers

best Democrat to take on Trump in 2020

Will there even be a Democrat Party in 2020? Reagan almost destroyed it, but GHWB helped to save it. Trump is just finishing what Reagan started.

Sounds like Maxine Waters...

At least she has James Brown’s hair... even if it a cheap knock-off

If Joe Biden is the best looking of the bunch, Melania better find Barron a good high school near the White House.

Here's a very famous person with many qualities to recommend him for the Democrats to run in 2020

He would definitely have beaten DJT to a pulp in school (and after). He is handsome, with a great head of hair. He’s charismatic and always has a devastating comeback that puts down the speaker as well as putting across some Democratic point in a way that can’t be answered. He’s young and pro-alphabet soup ...

article is 100% about physical appearance and identity politics ... not a single word about how to make Americans safer, more secure, and better off economically ...
