Bill Maher Pitches Gavin Newsom as 2020 Presidential Candidate
NewsBusters ^ | December 22, 2016 | P.J. Gladnick

Bill Maher is on a hiatus from his HBO Real Time show until January. However, that doesn't mean he isn't still providing a bit of humor even if it's inadvertent. And Maher's latest bit of unintentional humor comes in the form of a presidential endorsement for 2020. And what his endorsement reveals is how laughably shallow the Democrat field of potential candidates is.

I guess to the "impressive" Democrat 2020 lineup of Pocahontas, Plugs, Giggles, & Grumpy we now have to add Slick.

A straight white male? That will never fly in today’s Democrat party.

In 2020 they are going to draft some good looking Hollywood celebrity whom they feel can turn out low-info voters.

My money is on Ben Affleck.

OMG! Well, knowing the enemy is, I guess, a good thing. The puffy grabem nuisance is an ultra uber left wing alt-left radical nut bag/sack extremist.

Well, that’s a step up from Hillary. And he’s one of those “CINOs” ... Catholic in name only. While his social views are incredibly liberal, he is financially conservative. The Dems could certainly ... and probably will ... do worse.

Ben Affleck would be a better president then Hillary Clinton.

Heck. What am I saying: A chain-smoking, alcoholic, organ-grinder’s monkey would be a better president than Hillary Clinton.

Another Leftist nightmare. “Any Twosome Newsom” as Michael Savage calls him.

I hope we don’t see another Leftist in the WH for a long time. If we are to recover our Free Constitutional Republic we MUST gain the WH in 2024 (assume Trump in 2020) and the guy in 2024 CAN’T be another GOP socialist loser. He MUST be someone who LOVES the Constitution and limited government, and will be ready, willing, and able to take down the unconstitutional 70-80% portion of the federal government.

The Democrats are gonna trot out a collection of clowns in four years because that’s all they have on the bench. Keep em coming Dems. They have no clue how to fix their party. Correction. They know what the problem is but it would be an admission their leftist ideology is a total failure. Let them continue their stupidity. Their implosion is better for the country.

I’m betting the First Wookie will declare that she’s transitioning and then announce a run.

I don’t think a white man will ever again be on the top of the democratic ticket

Well, he has a certain “street cred” in liberal circles, because he got behind homosexual marriage, and pushed that issue, before mainstream Democrats decided they favored homosexuality and homosexual marriage.

====================================================================’

Yep, if you think about it, 2004 was the last year when the Democrat ticket had two white men. 2008 and 2012 with Obama, and then 2016 with Hillary, we saw the Democrats nominated someone other than a white man to be president, though the VP nominees were white men.

Since the Democrats tend to be very big on this identity politics thing, it would be a surprise, if a “straight” white man were to head the presidential ticket in 2020 and beyond.

It is impossible to be socially liberal and financially conservative. The liberal part means spend trillions on social programs, the conservative part cries tears at the homeless, or hungry before signing another bill spending yet more trillions.

For guaranteed election success the DIMocRATs need to go to other species.
