Of the nine candidates officially running in the Democratic presidential primary, only one is a heterosexual white man. And that guy, former Rep. John Delaney, generally polls somewhere between zero and 1 percent.
But of the 17 Democrats reportedly still pondering a presidential bid, all but one is a straight white man. It’s hard to chalk that up to coincidence. Clearly, the women and minority candidates sensed that the water is warm for them, and the straight white men appear to be worried that this is just not their year.
CNN’s demographic number cruncher Ron Brownstein noted recently that the percentage of the Democratic primary electorate who are women, nonwhite voters and—“the most liberal component” of the party—college-educated white voters are all on the rise. The 2016 Democratic primary electorate was 58 percent women, 38 percent nonwhite voters and 37 percent college-educated white voters, all numbers that could be bigger in 2020, and strongly suggest a hospitable environment for candidates who embody a diverse America.
Does this mean that Democratic Party voters are so obsessed with identity politics that they are shutting straight white men out of the party? No. Who have been the top two candidates in nearly every primary poll? Not just two straight white males, but geriatric ones: Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are the two oldest straight white men in the lot.

Gropin’ Joe is not a homo.
What it means is that Biden will need to name a black woman as his Veep.
A good friend of mine, yeah he’s a liberal but we have been friends before either of us got political. He was on a committee at the Texas state democratic convention back in 2000. He reported back to me being very upset. He said it was quite obvious that democrats do not like white, straight men. He would not elaborate other than to say he was quite upset. That was back in 2000. I would imagine it is even worse now.
He gets plus points for being very handsy with young girls.
This should make it really easy for the GOP. They can cause the “Coalition of the Ascendant” to go full retard. The old WASPy/Jewish leftist alliance is on the verge of being overrun by their pets. Help it along. Biden and Sanders pit against Harris, Booker, and AOC. That fight is just starting.
Guess nobody has scanned his computer?
Straight White Males are also banned from TV ads
I don’t think most people run for POTUS to be POTUS. They do it for the campaign money that does not have to be returned when they bow out of the race.
This is why we are seeing dozens of people throwing their hat in the ring who barely have a snowball’s chance in hell of even getting the nomination, much less winning an election.
TV?
They still make those things?
How twentieth century.

Are we talking about “Touchy Feely” “Uncle” Joe Biden who in photos has his arms or hands on the opposite sex of varying ages??
Uncle Joe might be just as straight as his cohorts Hitlery Clintoon or Zero Bama and Moochelle, ya think?
Does Beto count?
The war on straight, white, Christian men is real.
Pretend to be a fag.
The next president should be the best person for the job. You complain that “a woman” has never been POTUS - thereby eliminating half of the legally qualified people - and on the other hand, you demand that it not be a man - thereby proposing that we arbitrarily eliminate half of the legally qualified people.Ask why the next POTUS shouldn’t be black. The answer is the same as the above, only worse, since you thereby propose that we arbitrarily eliminate from consideration a big majority of the legally qualified population. The other reason the next POTUS shouldn’t be a black Democrat, at least, is that we just tried that - and we have nothing to show for it but bruises. Which was and is only to be expected of someone who is not grateful to America.
The next POTUS should already be grateful to American society now, and therefore the next POTUS should be happy now. Obama never looked happy, and we have no need to repeat that experience.
