OPINION — Paging all Democratic candidates, campaign staffers and activists: Do yourselves a favor before it’s too late. Repeat after me: “But that’s nothing compared to Donald Trump.” Use this simple phrase every time you feel the need to criticize another Democratic candidate, or even your own candidate (you know who you are) in the press.
Because lately, two standards for 2020 contenders have emerged in the narratives that dominate campaign coverage. First, there’s the higher, tougher, almost impossible-to-meet standard used for Democrats. And then there’s the lower, he-always-does-that-so-what-do-you-expect measurement saved for the president they’re all trying to replace. If you’re not careful, your critiques of each other’s unfitness for office will send each other’s negatives soaring before Trump even has to get started on the job.
Let’s start with Joe Biden. The “gaffe-prone” former vice president is running ahead in every major poll, so it’s natural to go after the front-runner to try to win the nomination. But when you must allude to his old age (he’s 76), try also to add that Trump turned 73 in June. And if you really think Biden is mentally unfit to be president, or “not on his A game,” as several of you implied in The New York Times recently, don’t forget to also note that dozens of board-certified psychiatrists and psychologists petitioned their governing body in 2018 to allow them to publicly talk about symptoms of a mental disorder they all believed the president was exhibiting.

Because dems are bat sh!!!!t socialists crazy
They don’t realize that Democratic voters are not the only voters although they would love to be the only voters ,LOL
I kind of like the New Greenland Deal.
All most republicans-conservatives want are congressmen who aren’t idiots and who represent their districts, but look at what we get. Republicans aren’t any better, just look at what we’ll have to choose from next year.
So they have nothing to offer other than beating Trump.
I think I see the problem.
Call it the Crawdads in a Bucket Syndrome.
All the crawdad crabs want to get out of that bucket.
Problem is, the ones at the bottom of the bucket need to grab onto the ones at the top to get a firm grip. That only succeeds in pulling all the crabs back down to the bottom of the bucket. A few will make it to the top, but only because they stay away from the biggest battles.
This same thing often happens with minorities who want to rise above the lower middle class existence. But their jealous peers would rather keep everybody down.
Because the Democrat Party does not have leaders.
The Democrat Party has followers.
The Leader of the Democrat party is The Mob (not the Mafia).
“...The Leader of the Democrat party is The Mob (not the Mafia)....”
The Leader of the Democrat party is SATAN and his demonic minions. He uses the four horsewomen of the Apocalypse to do his bidding.
Hard to argue with that. Especially considering how literally hideously evil the Democrat Party is.
But as it relates to this daily, mundane world, the thing that leads this party is a very large number of very angry, totally insane, bursting with lust for violence people.
The elected officials must obey this Mob, or they will be eaten. Figuratively speaking of course, because I couldn’t possibly be serious on that last ting. Mostly.
The author seems ignorant of the fact that in 2016 Republicans nominated a candidate who was almost totally opposed by everyone in the party, but was so superior to all opponents that he won.
Who in the democrat party is that talented? Easy answer: no one.
“Democratic voters just want to beat Trump...”
I don’t think that’s true at all. I think they require their leaders to be “purely woke” in every grievance, offended way possible. Their purity tests are for real, and cannot be passed. I think this insanity could play out live at the DNC Convention. They’re not paying lip service about adherence to the ideology anymore.
They’ve spent decades grooming their base to be an outrage mob, that can’t just be turned off when it’s inconvenient.
