A six year old child should be able to defeat Trump. At least in all forms of debate and intelligence tests.
The problem with someone like Dean is that time and time again, the average American has shown themselves to be embarrassingly uninformed when it comes to politics, and so the incumbent president has a huge advantage just by having their name be recognizable and their butt already in the chair.
All the media have to do is cover Trump relatively honestly and he will do the rest to sink his presidential campaign.
In 2016 the media were so gaga over his norm breaking and other wackiness and everyone assumed Hillary was a sure thing compared to him, they didn’t actually cover him honestly.
Plus he could let people just project whatever hopes and dreams they had on him. He had no governmental experience at any level to investigate and draw conclusions from. He convinced a lot of people that he would fight for them, and Hillary had no really solid counter to all that. Plus the DOJ threw the in-person voting to Trump.
This time we know basically all there is to know about what a second Trump term would be like. Chaos, petty revenge, and burning the Constitution. If Democrats can take that clear and the media can look past all the dollar signs for a second, any half decent candidate on the Democratic ticket will win. Any candidate who can legitimately claim to be for working people and against the elites.
So like a Sherrod Brown, Sheldon Whitehouse, John Fetterman, or Elizabeth Warren. I’d say Bernie but he’s probably too old. Brown and Fetterman would do really well bringing large so called “purple” states in.
I hope you’re right. I was definitely one of those people who thought Hillary was a slam dunk and thought Trump would never win.
I’ve not been confident in an election cycle since. I want to be optimistic and say Trump will sink himself and that we will all have the satifaction of seeing his ass in prison. But, he has weasled his way out of every negative consequence in his life and survived political scandals that would have sunk any other politician.
The dude is a cult.
“look past all the dollar signs for a second”
We’re doomed.
Bernie Sanders: “So you’re saying there’s a chance?”
Taylor Swift slowly walks forward
With John Stewart as VP. He said he doesn’t want to be president but VP? Let’s fuckin goooo
John Fetterman
“If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running,” Biden said at a campaign event in Boston, adding that he “cannot let him win.”
Uh huh.
Then bring them out genocide Joe.
