The Democratic ticket Trump doesn't want in 2020
The Hill ^ | 11/23/2019 | DOUGLAS MACKINNON

Posted on 11/23/2019 9:53:57 AM PST by bitt

Pete Buttigieg’s recent popularity surge in Iowa and New Hampshire has many speculating that President Trump could face a Democratic ticket in 2020 that he doesn’t want and fears the most — the South Bend, Ind., mayor and another candidate recently in the spotlight, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii.

Despite what the “experts” might say, it’s certainly possible. Like weather forecasters and economists, political pundits often are proven embarrassingly wrong. Voters from both parties have a tendency to recalibrate rather quickly, and quite unexpectedly, toward candidates they believe actually might have a chance of winning.

In 2004, for example, Democratic voters threw the preening pundits a curveball when, during the primary process, they suddenly tapped on the brakes, took a much longer and harder look at frontrunner Gov. Howard Dean of Vermont and turned in the slightly more “establishment” direction of Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.

Four years later, Democratic primary voters most certainly went counterintuitive again when they bypassed the pundit-approved and -predicted candidate of Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York, for relatively unknown Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois.

Yeah, Trump would hate to win the black vote overwhelmingly.

Pete Buttigieg is a joke. You don’t go from being Mayor of 100,000 people size town to being President. Plus gay is in these, days but not in enough to be elected President.

A failed butt-f$#king mayor of a puny midwestern town wracked by gang violence and murder who makes a mockery of Christianity is going to be POTUS. Sure.

Gabbard could be a small problem because she hides her communism better than the rest.

The butt boi pretends to be moderate but the hammer and cycle tattooed on his butt shows up every time he puts it up to be poked.

Mrs. mayor peter couldn't win, even with all the demonRAT corruption going all out {which the blacks won't join}.

Articles like this are why I seriously question The Hill as having *any* sort of validity. In addition to being just rabidly infested with ads, many of them virus-laden. John Solomon (whom I respect) wrote for The Hill for a long time (I am not clear if has severed that relationship of if it persists) and I could never understand that. Perhaps Solomon is just one of those folks who has no aspirations to develop and tout his own website and he’s just a doggedly determined reporter who wants only that.

Is the writer of this Hill article Gay? I can’t think of any other reason for someone to write such a ridiculous scenario. If any of you know the answer, please let me know.

Laughable, a butt pirate, fake “combat” veteran, who says babies can be abort up to and past birth, who is a major NEO socialist Marxist (who was RAISED as a Marxist by his parents, in fact). Just Laughable.

Dream world- delusional thinking a writing. And, tone deaf on MAGA America.

Tulsi Gabbard could be a problem because she’s got the same type of anti-establishment vibe that made Trump popular. And she hides her far-left politics behind more populist topics.

I'm not sure America is ready for a two woman ticket.

They should mix it up. How 'bout Michelle O./Tulsi.

You're welcome, derpocrats.

Trump fears 900 foot Jesus coming to take him home!

Seriously, the Hill doesn’t even try not to sound like a tabloid anymore.
