Ready for somebody? Dems lack heir apparent this time
The Hill ^ | 06/12/18 | Amie Parnes

There’s no Ready for Elizabeth super PAC. Nor is there a Prepping for Kamala, Begging for Booker or Salivating for Sanders.

Unlike the run-up to the 2016 campaign, when the Ready for Hillary super PAC served to stoke Hillary Clinton’s entry into the Democratic presidential race, there are no candidate-specific PACs forming this time around to either lay the groundwork for a campaign or to create a sense of anticipation.

Is this a problem? That depends on which Democrat you ask.

Some Democrats are surprised and worry it could be a signal the party isn’t completely prepared to do what it takes to defeat President Trump in his reelection bid.

Others say it’s just a manifestation of what many believe will be a much more wide-open race than was seen in 2016.

It’s possible that dozens of candidates could enter the 2020 race on the Democratic side.

Etc...

I’m not sure Biden could stand the campaign ads of him fondling little girls who are desperately trying to get away from Uncle Joe’s kisses and gropes.

Nothing can embarrass Gropin’ Uncle Joe because he has no shame. Also, he has the same Liberal Privilege as Bill Clinton, which makes him as Teflon.

Those pix are so gross & the grim faced children in them don’t like it one bit. But Biden gets a pass, as always.

The left isn’t part of the problem; they ARE the problem.

“Could it be because Obama bankrupted the party after 2012, and Clinton siphoned off whatever was left in 2016?”

for sure tons of very wealthy libs, including a whole bunch of very wealthy hollywood “celebs”, who donated through the teeth to hillary are still pissed off and still pretty gun shy about pissing away any more money on a bunch of losers ... wouldn’t surprise me that the money doesn’t really start to roll in until someone finally reaches nominee status,which will be pretty late in the game ...

“I would assume and hope Bernie Sanders oriented voters go nuts next Dem convention.”

if hillary actually runs, and then naturally loses the nomination a second time, we’re gonna have a whole bunch of fem Dems going nuts as well ... hopefully, the Dems will have trained their core supporters in hatred tactics well enough that they turn that hatred inward against their own kind if each one does not get EXACTLY what they want ...

What?? Hillary is still in great shape! With enough braces for her spine and limbs, the corrective shoes, the anti-seizure blue prism glasses, plenty of Valium and cough drops, she’s ready for campaign season to start!

I agree! Come on, Hillary, your party needs you! Strap on your back brace, gas up the Scooby Van, and get back out there!

“Could be Biden as well. Don’t laugh, underestimate him at your peril.”

agreed. Biden is actually their best bet by far ...

I still think Biden would have won if he ran.

“Colorado governor Hickenlooper went missing and we find out that he was invited to the Bilderberg conference for a secret meeting. There’s your presidential candidate.”

in my book, Hick is a stuttering fool and near idiot ... Trump would make mincemeat out of him ... I would be delighted if the Dems were stupid enough to pick him, but unfortunately, even the Dem are not THAT stupid ...

“I still think Biden would have won if he ran.”

me too. but fortunately for us the Dems picked the absolute worst candidate BY FAR in their entire history .... likewise, even Hillary would have beaten, and I mean BADLY beaten, any of the 13 dwarfs that Trump vanquished in the primary had Trump NOT won the nomination ... we there THAT close to losing our nation permanently ...
