COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa As Peter Johnson and Emily Neal waited for Senator Kirsten Gillibrand to arrive at Barleys, a brick-lined sports bar in southwestern Iowa, they gamed out possible nominees in the Democratic presidential primary. Mr. Johnson, a 27-year-old law student, said the large field was a great equalizer, and if at the end of it we get an old white guy, someone who represents the status quo, itll be because theyve proven themselves. Ms. Neal, a dental hygienist, made an agonized face at Mr. Johnson, her boyfriend. Wouldnt something be lost, she asked, if the historically diverse slate of 2020 Democrats was passed over?

That’s true. I guess I have to change “all but two Democrat nominees have been white men” to 1 1/2.
heheheee ... another "Lemmings" fan, I see ;)
If Pelosi can claim that a glass of water with a “D” on it can win an election in Ocasio-Cortez’s district, why should not the Dems run a human candidate at all?
Dems might win within their party the same kinds of minds in Ocasio-Cortez’s district, or even more, with a simple avatar, a headless horseman named BHOALLA, vetted of course, by Pelosi. No?
Dems are desperate enough to try anything and have the minds to try anything, which is to say...no mind at all.
Heh.
We all put on Che tee shirts and those “lady parts” hats and go to the rallies to agitprop loudly how the only acceptable dem candidate must... MUST be one a one legged albino, black, female lesbian that identifies as a seahorse!
A ranting Maxine Waters should be the face of the Democrat Party in 2020.
The key is forcing Biden to take on #Karamela or #AuntGemmadams as VP.
And now off to see if Emily has a timeline to shit up...
Democrat party, the party of race, race, race... 24/7. It must be so nice to live in someplace like Japan, without all the pc/diversity crap.
I don't get it. Most of those liberal faces in the Democrat party complaining about not wanting white faces, are white faces! They're chasing away themselves! Just shows what idiots they've become.
Democrats are putting ‘all of their efforts’ into getting the votes of minorities and other special interests.
Brain-dead suicidal maniacs. Just like the Christian Europeans welcoming muzzles into their midst and turning over control to them, it will not end well. Those "special interests" are not interested in preserving the interests of those giving the weapons that will be used to decimate them. Right-thinking Americans will not support the Democrats in 2020.
Yes, Joseph Stalin.
previous president was a bisexual atheist muslim marxist who filled his white house with Communists, Muslim Brotherhood, antisemites, black separatists, and homofascists.
How about America learn from that mistake?
I’m for American nationalism and the Left is decidedly anti-American.
Tear down the borders.
Tear down the Constitution.
Tear down the economy.
Tear down the language.
Tear down the history.
Tear down the culture.
Tear down the institutions of academia, military, and religion.
James Brown loved this country and knew that his journey in life and success couldn’t have happened anywhere else in this world.
Peelousy means “vote for the brand, don’t sweat the details of the candidate’s qualifications”.
Same as when “generic Democrat presidential candidate” is polled alongside DJT for 2020. “x% say they’d vote for D”. Put a name to D and votes disappear.
Thanks GuavaCheesePuff. Doesn't matter: number one, the Demwits are going to lose, and number two, the size, shape, shade, and preferred fake gender designation is unimportant, it's their policies that are anti-American, bigoted, wrongheaded, and often just plain evil.
The Democrats are now facing the results of their identity politics. They have so compartmentalized their base into a ridiculous array of racial and gender groups each pitted against the other for power that there can be no one unifying face of the party. We have already seen candidates like Beto who are groveling and beating their breasts to apologize for their original sin of being born white straight and male.
To “Democrats”, it does not matter what sort of accomplishments a candidate has, but what diversity and SJW boxes are ticked off and how many. We saw that mentality with the nomination of Zero, the Hero in His Own Mind.
I expect the Democrats will come to grief with their elevation of identity politics over meritocracy. Affirmative action seems mild when nothing immediate is at stake. It will be a lesson too late for the learning.
