Ready for somebody? Dems lack heir apparent this time
The Hill ^ | 06/12/18 | Amie Parnes

There’s no Ready for Elizabeth super PAC. Nor is there a Prepping for Kamala, Begging for Booker or Salivating for Sanders.

Unlike the run-up to the 2016 campaign, when the Ready for Hillary super PAC served to stoke Hillary Clinton’s entry into the Democratic presidential race, there are no candidate-specific PACs forming this time around to either lay the groundwork for a campaign or to create a sense of anticipation.

Is this a problem? That depends on which Democrat you ask.

Some Democrats are surprised and worry it could be a signal the party isn’t completely prepared to do what it takes to defeat President Trump in his reelection bid.

Others say it’s just a manifestation of what many believe will be a much more wide-open race than was seen in 2016.

It’s possible that dozens of candidates could enter the 2020 race on the Democratic side.

Etc...

I’m hoping the Democrats go the way of the Whigs.

They have no ideas. They just hate successful people.

And if the scandals come out the way they should, the DNC will be seen as a criminal organization.

Just an observation here.

In 1976, the little known former Governor of Georgia, Jimmy Carter, emerged from a crowded field .

Ditto 1992, Governor Clinton of Arkansas was little known nationally.

Someone who is off the radar right now, could emerge out of a Democrat slugfest.

Mad Maxine could always jump in. I’d send her a dollar and a lot of encouragement if she did jump in.

Never fear! The “redistribution” leader will come up with a designated individual to impose the Progressive ideology for the Democrats.

Could it be because Obama bankrupted the party after 2012, and Clinton siphoned off whatever was left in 2016?

and Obama.

Is there a lesson here?

Are Democrats involved in finding and grooming candidates behind the scene?

That happens when you're a single dad.

The Dems have done nothing (either have the Pubs) to make the candidate selection process fair. I would assume and hope Bernie Sanders oriented voters go nuts next Dem convention.
