Okay, so Joe Biden is proving such an embarrassment that he can’t be trusted to remain plausibly coherent for the 14 long moths until the election. And Kamala Harris, the Great Intersectional Hope, is so transparently phony that voters are abandoning her. Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders is no longer the anti-Hillary alternative that he was in 2016, and his cranky persona is wearing thin.
So, what’s a member of the Democrats’ gentry – the educated professional classes – to do? Steven Hayward of Powerline, a very astute observer, thinks that Elizabeth Warren is the next candidate who will take the lead.

Pollster Mark Murray points out that only 9 percent of Democrats say their mind is made up; Warren has emerged as the leading second-choice candidate if Biden stumbles, and Warren’s supporters show the highest intensity/enthusiasm level, which is always something successful campaigns build on. You can almost sense the media starting to get behind her. Biden has the look of Bob Dole in 1996: an old party warhorse that Democrats might accept, but without great enthusiasm, as this chart shows:
She’s lefty like Bernie, but with an intellectual veneer that comes with having been a tenured professor at Harvard Law School. That she snagged that prestigious job by faking Native American heritage is her first fatal flaw. Blacks, who comprise a quarter of the Democrats’ vote in presidential elections, are simply not going to turn out for someone who appropriated victim status and the preferences that accompany it today. It’s not just an “uphill” struggle, as The Hill delicately puts it, it’s a futile struggle.

For VP, howzabout MAJ Tulsi Gabbard, Hawaii ARNG officer and fierce critic of her Commander in Chief?
She should be court-martialed under Article 88 UCMJ, Contempt Toward Elected Officials by Commissioned Officers.
Had that waved in my face for remarks by me about Clinton when he was preezy-steezy. Commander let me off because I’m a Vietnam vet, but told me to zip it until Horndog left office.
Anyway, looks like Fauxcahontas is chugging toward the nomination and has Hillabitch’s backing & donors.
Can’t wait ‘til the debate; PDJT will play her like a cathouse piano. Screeching moonbat tirade within 5 min.
Even Tucker Carlson agrees with most of Lieawatha’s anti Corporate screed.
He also has Tulsi whatshername on his Show way too much. He highlights her semi “sane” positions but never challenges her on her looney Leftist positions.
They give these nuts a toe hold and they play you like a violin.
But it will not be Hillary as many seem to thing - the nominee at the convention will be a "reluctant" but "honored" Michelle Obama.
Nopr if that scenario plays out it will be someone with charisma, not a scowl.
She is creepy and dangerous to the Republic.
I still expect Booker
I don’t. No reason for the Dems to pick a VP with beltway stink on them if they don’t have to.
A guy like former Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum fits the Dem VP bill better. Or Aunt Jemima from GA. VP has got to be a black if the nom is Warren.
They have nowhere else to go.
Demoralized, all their candidates suck, some more than others.
The difference between #FusionCollusion and a 2nd Hillary-Trump election showdown, IMO, would be public AWARENESS.
FusionCollusion didn't get the awareness that it needed thanks to the derelict left-leaning MSM.
A National Presidential election has visibility and involvement at a public level that will NOT allow it to be swept under the carpet.
Trump would literally become a "political" legend for the ages.
That would then send the Dimms wandering in that "political desert" we both would like to see happen.
In any event... TRUMP WILL PREVAIL in 2020!
We shouldn’t be overconfident. Reminding people of Warren’s false claim of American Indian ancestry won’t be enough to win. 40% of the population would vote for her even if it came out that she supplied James Earl Ray with the murder weapon. 40% won’t vote for her under any circumstances. The media will try to sway the less-informed people in the other 20% that Warren would make a wonderful President and never mind the nasty things the Republicans are saying about her. They’re just sexists, can’t you see?
The Rats will start CW II if Trump gets re-elected.
Those look like they belong in James Lileks’ Diary of Regrettable Food.
I hope they nominate her. The Donald will destroy her - and hell have a ball doing it - and it will be really funny.

14 moths?
Stay tuned... more to come!
Good editors are so hard to find when you have dumbed people down this far.
Elizabeth Warren. Woman of color!? Benjamin Moore has a classic off-white wall color called Navajo White. Perhaps thats what they mean.
Well... look back at history.
The indigenous peoples of the Americas were called Indians because the seafarers who visited thought that it was India.
It's amazing how we persist in using certain names for things, even after finding out they are completely wrong.
People are strange.
Why? Lefties lie, fail to answer questions, and pretend to be something they are not. She is their hero.
