Will Democrats Nominate a Woman in 2020?
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | November 21, 2017 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 11/21/2017 4:21:39 PM PST by Kaslin

RUSH: What are the odds that the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee is gonna be a woman? Pretty solid, right? You know, it makes my theory that what Donna Brazile’s doing is setting up a run by Michelle Obama. I mean, it’s looking more and more likely. Hillary Clinton can kiss it big, fat good-bye, if she’s got designs on the 2020 nomination, there ain’t no way, Jose. And they gotta be a woman, right?

In fact, I just saw a story, the GOP, the Republican National Committee, is raising money out the wazoo, compared to the Democrats. The Republicans in the latest reporting cycle raised $113 million. The Democrats remain in debt. What do you think, maybe the Democrat National Committee could make a specific special appeal to women? You think that would fly? Hee-hee-hee. No, I don’t think so.

But it is making my theorem that Donna Brazile’s trying to push Hillary out of the way to clear the decks for Michelle Obama. It’s gotta be a woman now. It has to be a woman. And there’s gonna be other women besides Michelle Obama that want this. You know, you’re gonna have — who could it be? I mean, Fauxcahontas may throw her wigwam in the mix here — ahem — headdress, whatever.

If the Democrats have a primary that features at least one white woman and one black woman — (interruption) No, it isn’t gonna be Kamala Harris. See, you have to discount the early front-runners, proclaimed front-runners by the media. Discount them. They’re never gonna be there at the end of the day. That’s all conventional wisdom that never holds up.

Kamala Harris isn’t gonna be there. That was a trial balloon and it isn’t working. I mean, she may have a pocket of support out there in the ultraleft-wing pockets of the Left Coast, but, nah. But put her in there. I don’t care. That’s not my point. What are the Democrats gonna do? You know Biden’s gonna go for it no matter what. Biden’s gonna be in there.

There have to be some other guys in the Democrat Party that are gonna want it. And there will be women, and one of them is gonna be Michelle, and what if the other one is a white woman? Can you imagine the politically correct problem the Democrats are going to have? Everybody thinks they’re just gonna skate through because of supposedly sky-high Trump disapproval.

I think this Democrat Party continues to be mired in more trouble than they’re even aware of, and certainly much more than they will admit. This sexual harassment stuff, all of these people, all of these names, they are all liberal Democrats. And they’re all very vocal about it, from the Hollywood guys to the money, to the fundraising, to the issues that they attach themselves to, such as climate change or gun control.

We don’t need the media to point out the hypocrisy. We can see it. And we’re not through with names. We’re not through with names of people being accused of sexual harassment or abuse or what have you. As I say, outside of Conyers, we still don’t have a name for anybody in Congress, and yet there have been secret payments of, what, $15 million, with nondisclosure agreements so those women can’t legally speak about it.

The Democrats are relying on the same old thing. They’re relying on the fact that by the time we get to 2018 or 2020, that they’re gonna be able to convince enough people that Trump is a reprobate and a scumbag and whatever else. And they have failed to do that up to this point. And I don’t know why wouldn’t think that in this current atmosphere they’re gonna be facilitated in that effort.

It is clear that their primary impetus, their primary agenda is gonna be stop Trump, stop Trump, get rid of Trump because it’s becoming patently obvious that there’s not much affirmative they can offer about themselves except that they are not Trump. But you go out into these blue state areas that elected Trump, I don’t think you see a lot of Trump defectors. You don’t see a lot of people that voted for Trump thinking, “Oh, my God, I made a mistake. I gotta go back, I’m voting Democrat next time.”

Salena Zito is still out talking to these people, and they’re not leaving Trump. They’re not abandoning. The Democrats are counting exclusively on that, and it isn’t happening. The Republicans are gonna be in hot water, too, themselves depending on what happens with the congressional agenda.

I think that the Obama wing sees her as the obvious inheritor of his legacy. The Dems have bought 100% into identity politics and in their minds Hillary failed because she was old school white and not a true post-European progressive.

I have a feeling a lot of white men are going to leave the Democrats & either defect to GOP or link up with 3rd parties like Green or Libertarians. The only ones left in the Democratic party will be the feminists, LGBQIAZLKJLKJ, and minorities.

Not just white men; all the old guard of the dem party. None of them represent what the new, more angry and militant, dem party is all about with its militant minorities and Gay whatever's. Look at Conyers taking a big hit. He won't play along with this new dem mind set/mentality so he's got to go and not long ago he was considered radical. My how times have changed.

As crazy as it is for me to even think this; I can kinda see how governments at the beginning of the last century had to purge millions of their own people. If this new angry militant dem party were to actually take hold of the reins of power; America would be over with. The great experimented ended by leftist ideals of letting in all the wrong people and nurturing a sense of entitlement along with infesting all the education centers then indoctrinating the young so they grew up to hate white people. Generations of racists created by leftist teachers. Crazy time. Purge time? I hope not.

I’m going to vote Trump/Pence. I couldn’t do it last year, but I can in 2018. I believe voters need to take an IQ test before voting. I might run for office on that...

You’re right about purges. I get the feeling now.

You’re right about letting in the wrong people (thank you liberals!). The younger ones seem like a bunch of street kids — so much hate, dangerously ignorant. I predict something like the Cultural Revolution in Maoist China.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Bill DeBlasio, the mayor of NYC (where I live), throws his hat into the ring. He is raving left-wing, and his wife is black. He might appeal to these kind of youngsters — unless enough feminists scream that he’s a white male.

Five bux says she doesn’t even get close to the nomination!

Michelle Obama could run in 2024 but she won’t run against Trump... just can’t see that happening.

You aren't paying attention. I'm sure there are many people who would love Michelle to run. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Michelle Obama has no desire to run. She doesn't not want to be an elected to public office and she doesn't want to live in D.C.

Trust me, I see Michelle for president bumper stickers. It will never happen . She has no desire for that. Hillary is the one with political ambition.

The white middle and working classes have joined up with the GOP. That means the only large group propping up white liberal elites in the democrat party is black democrats.

That’s not a good sign for white liberal elites like Hillary.

I don't know what "joined uo" means. A lot of those people voted for Obama twice.

I think if either side thinks they have anything but a fragile coalition, they are sorely mistaken.

If Michelle Obama runs for President in 2020, she will be defeated by President Trump in a landslide, and the cultural dynamics unveiled by the election will be interesting.

Why don't we elect Rosalynn Carter?

She's the wife of a former President. And she's still alive. Isn't that enough?

Middle class black citizens have more in common with us than they have with white liberal elites. We might pull more blacks to our side in the next election too.

Democrats have no idea how bad off they are...

Hillary and Bernie in 2020. That would be a fun one to watch. Hillary can steal it and Bernie can give it away. Well, a lot of it anyway.

IF Congress passes Trumps agenda the GOP will be unstoppable in the near future.

IF they don’t, many Congressional incumbents will lose their seats.

As far as President in 2020, Trump is unbeatable, I mean really, who are the Dems going to run.

In 2020 it will be Corey Booker, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, and De Blasio. Hillary and Bernie are too old.

Nope, look for Andy Cuomo and Silly Gilly Kirsten Gillibrand - both extreme lefties from NYS.
