Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore said Thursday night there is not a single person among the more than two dozen Democratic presidential candidates that inspires the base of the party enough to beat President Trump in 2020.
"We have to have a beloved American running, not a professional politician," he told "Late Night" host Seth Meyers. "You've got to have someone who inspires the base. The base, here, of the Democratic Party, are women, people of color, and young adults between 18-35. That's 70 percent of who's going to vote next year."
He did predict that the Democratic candidate in 2020 could again win the popular vote but lose the Electoral College, as in 2016.
Democrats need a candidate that gives them the same “feeling” they had about President Obama.
“You couldn't wait to get to the polls... Who are you going to say that about of the 25 that are running? Right now, when you wake up a year from November, 'I can't wait to get to the polls so I can vote for... John Hickenlooper!'" he said jokingly. "Or 'Joe Biden!' I love Joe Biden... but we gotta win!"
The “safest candidate” in this election is not what will bring victory to the Democrats, he said, and would be a “huge mistake.” A Democratic “version” of Donald Trump is what’s needed, he argued.
“He's a street fighter. We need a street fighter. That's the only way you're going to defeat him," he said. "You're going up against a bully."
Meyers then asked if he saw any street fighters among the crop of Democratic candidates, but said he didn’t have to name names.
"Uh... two," Moore responded, adding that Bernie was one of them.
Michael Moore Reveals Which 2020 Candidate He Thinks Could Take On Trump
bummer.
Moron has a brain cell firing? Who knew?
Bummer? Are you a #Never Trumper?
Mikey Moore is a fat slob
MI numbers must be bad for the RATS.
The RATS has no one who can stand up to our President. This is why they keep throwing everything at him even the kitchen sink. But his supporters will never leave him.
“The base, here, of the Democratic Party, are women, people of color, and young adults between 18-35”.
You eliminated yourself, Fat boy. You’re not wanted by the Dems.
His clarion call for Mochelle...please oh please save us!!! Pathetic.
Moore is a vile, smelly, hypocritical , abortion loving socialist. He should be the Democratic candidate.
He’s opening the door for Michelle Obama.
My question to Duncan the goalie would be, why does America need “professional” politicians? The Founding Fathers never meant for it to be that way.
He’s opening the door for Michelle Obama.

I know that a lot of people in FR scoff at the idea of the Mooseshell running.
I don’t.
I think it’s a possibility.
"It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men And knowledge to men of understanding. - DANIEL 2:21
Well, was this person that Mikey admired a non-politician?
He is correct.
There is no charismatic democrat socialist identity free person to assume the mantle of leader.
...and Michelle as POTUS would be as bad (if not worse) than Hillary...with all of her faults, I don’t think Hillary hated America in the same way that Michelle Obama does....
Take the hat off loser
