Why Crazy Bernie will lose in 2020

“and they need a black candidate to galvanise black turn out and to take black votes away from Trump who has improved their lot in life more than any other”

Yes, they do - otherwise they’ll lose a lot of Senate and House races (because they won’t come out to the polls AT ALL if they Presidential candidate doesn’t motivate them...just like everyone else). But here’s the thing with Kneepads Harris: No warmth, no likeability whatsoever...and the Hispanics may not show up. The Dems are somewhat in between a rock and a hard place, with 2 constituencies that are roughly of equal size and believe that they are owed something (pretty much like every one of their constituencies...but these are the 2 biggest), and only one can be pleased at a time.

I still think that Bernie wins because of money and having a more-or-less perpetual campaign since Trump won. He will win the lion’s (or pussy’s, depending on outlook) share of delegates in most races, because of those factors and the severe Leftist tilt of the Dems. Now, of course, you have another problem (if you’re a Dem, that is): what if Bernie is once again denied the nomination, especially if it looks like a fix for Kneepads (courtesy of the Obamas)? I think that a lot of the pajama boys and pussy-hat types are going to stay home.

Anyhow, it’ll be Trump in a pretty big win (and, perhaps, a landslide if old, white, Socialist Bernie picks a gay white guy to be his Veep - that’ll resonate with about 5% of the population). This is going to be as close to Nixon vs. ultra-lib McGovern and crazy Eagleton as we’ll likely ever see again in our lifetimes. The Dems should, if they’re smart (and I’m not taking any bets on that) will play as much of a holding game as possible, by nominating a sacrificial Presidential candidate who can at least get their base out in a number of swing districts.
