Markers are already being laid down along racial and gender lines that could restrict Dem options for assembling a 2020 ticket. On Joy Reid's MSNBC show this morning, guest Jason Johnson warned:
JASON JOHNSON: What's the most important constituency for Democrats in 2020? Black women. And I've heard plenty of black women say, if there's not a black woman on this ticket, I'm not voting, I'm not excited, I'm not enthusiastic."If the Democratic party wants to run seriously in 2020, they can't relegate black women to second class. They can't relegate black women a consolation prize.
Not-so-joyous Reid then established an absolute racial test for Dems, nixing as an example, the notion of a Biden/Beto ticket:
JOY REID: They can't run two white guys. The idea that you have Joe Biden talking to Beto O'Rourke and saying maybe they could be a ticket. I personally find it hard to understand how you get the requisite turnout among voters of color if it's a two-white-male ticket.

Live by identity politics, die by identity politics.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
How fashionably racist of her.
Maybe Joe Biden could self identify as a black transgender. If they can get him to stop sniffing bicycle seats at the local high school.
Why? They did the last time.
Just playing the Democrat's racial politics game...
Joe Biden thinks the Dems don’t win unless it’s him and Beto.
Coverage of this fracture by the MSM? Crickets.
Camille Paglia nailed this conflict in Sexual Personae three decades ago.
What is she going to do if they do? Vote for the Republican?
Joy, why don’t you go back to Haiti and stay there, taking all your racist little rules with you?
You have become what you say you despise.
put Nikki Haley on the ticket. it would be game over. instant reelection.
What about one legged blind pygmies, has anyone thought about the plight of one legged blind pygmies or are you a one legged blind pygmieaphobe?
So great to see democrats have moved beyond basing things on a persons race.
She’s truly a hateful racist.
Bring back the literacy requirement to vote.
Because of the tribalism makeup and radicalism of Democrats, that’s probably true.
“What about one legged blind pygmies, has anyone thought about the plight of one legged blind pygmies or are you a one legged blind pygmieaphobe?”
What about people who identify as squirrels? Who speaks for them? What about all ‘people of fur’?
I’ve often heard, that the Kerry/Edwards ticket of 2004, is likely the last Democrat presidential ticket with two white presumably heterosexual men.
If Joe Biden or Beto O’Roarke became the Democrats nominee, he will be under immense pressure to pick a member of minority group, and/or a woman, as a running mate.
I expect the same to happen with the GOP in 2024, that they will be under pressure to avoid a ticket with two white presumably heterosexual males.
Why not?
