I have a confession to make. I wasnt sure Hillary Clinton would beat Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.
Sure, I supported Clinton, wanted her to be our president and cried for about three days in the fetal position when she lost but I wasnt entirely shocked that Trump won.
For years I have seen my own Democratic Party support very intelligent candidates who seem a bit too highbrow for mainstream America.
John Kerry was a very eloquent, intelligent and polished speaker who I felt wiped the floor with George W. Bush in all three of their presidential candidate debates.
I also believed Hillary Clinton was more professional and had more political knowledge and intellect than Trump, and I concluded as polls reported most people felt that she won each presidential candidate debate hands down.
But the American people in both of those elections seemed to feel more comfortable voting for a guy theyd like to have a beer with. That was one of the reasons explaining the success of Bill Clinton a Rhodes scholar who played the saxophone and spoke with an Arkansas twang.
Bill Clinton was likeable. For many voters, Trump was as well.
As a Democrat, I not only want a good strong candidate to run against President Trump. I want someone wholl win. That someone, in my opinion, is former Vice President Joe Biden.

Huh?
H screeches a lot, is that intelligent and highbrow?
One example: "Why aren't I 50 points ahead, you might ask!"
Another: "I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration."
On the other hand, she did seem very highbrow-ish/elitist when she recently said, "Civility can start again" (when we win) - so...
I’d LOVE to see Dopey Joe as the Democrat in 2020! The laughs would come a mile a minute. The pictures of him groping little girls would be non stop. The endless gaffs would destroy the entire Democrat party.
Bring it Dopey Joe get on the campaign trail and don’t forget your Depends.
” cried for about three days in the fetal position when she lost”
What kind of person says this crap?
LOL!
If they let Hillary run again then are dumber than I thought.
Some Republicans were dumb enough to want Romney to have another go.
I think once they’re nominated, they get regular national security briefings. I don’t seriously think you could get away with denying a major-party nominee a clearance, though.
Many of the parents of the girls groped by Joe wouldnt want their children exposed to the Ford treatment. Biden wont dare run.
I think there was a fly in one debate that was the winner.
That’s right. As I said, it would come out.
“Regler Adlai Stevenson, or Estes Kefauver, yup.”
Harold Stassen, if he lives long enough.
