The Democrats have won the last two presidential elections by running a candidate that people felt sorry for. They will keep doing this until it no longer works for them. Do people feel sorry for Paleface Lizzy Warren? If they do, they’ll run her. If they don’t, they’ll use her for cover to hide their real candidate.
We make the mistake of thinking that the leaders of the Democrat Party want something besides power and wealth. They are a cobbled-together coalition that survives by lying about their motivations. The real mark of wealth and power isn’t large mansions. The real mark of wealth and power in today’s world is exclusivity. And the way you achieve exclusivity is to have fewer middle class. You need the poor to pick up garbage.
They have won by running a celebrity - that is, not someone with any verifiable experience at anything, just somebody who is sufficiently left wing and upon whom the press can build a content-free narrative. Hillary isn’t very popular and I don’t think she really has much chance anyway, and Warren could never become Obama’s mini-me because she simply doesn’t have celebrity potential.
I think they’re going to run Michelle, and the press is already positioning her. Three times this week I have read “Michelle takes on GOP” or headlines to that effect. What’s the president’s wife doing “taking on” legitimate American political party that happens to be her husband’s opposition? Preparing herself to be the Dem candidate - and the press has already made her a celebrity.
