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
Translates to Trump waltzes back in 2020.
Michelle Obama is an America hating transvestite.
He’s not going to be president.
Same here.
Not going to happen.
That’s an excellent idea. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does something like that.
On my electoral map, I have Trump losing AZ, PA and WI, he still wins the electoral vote 284 to 254, as long as he wins MI.
Moore is calling for a gender fluid wookie, if you know what I mean:-)
adding that Bernie was one of them.
Oh please, Dear Lord, let it be Bernie.
Please.

He’s an obnoxious phony slob. But his political instincts are really good.
‘ALMIGHTY GOD will ultimately decide the outcome of the 2020 election.’
don’t forget he delivered Obama as well...all things being equal...
He is very good at explaining things. I think many millennials would love to learn the basics of investing.some dont even know how to read a paystub. Trump should show millennials how they are benefiting from his agenda. We assume this young generation understands but many have no clue.
‘On my electoral map, I have Trump losing AZ, PA and WI, he still wins the electoral vote 284 to 254, as long as he wins MI.’
Trump won 304 EV’s Clinton’s 227, with 7 faithless electors; 304-AZ 11-PA 20-WI 10 equals 263...sorry, but that ain’t gonna win it...
Wouldn’t matter even if she did. She’s not equipped for politics. The second she goes off script or has to face a real debate, she’d crash and burn.
Just go read her dissertation... someone was very charitable to even let her graduate from high school.
She can’t run a girl’s school or a tv network, I don’t think it will be hard to make the case that she can’t run a country either.
Might I suggest Trevor Noah....a non-politician who would inspire that base. Plus, if anyone complains that he's not a citizen.....RACISM!
“Liberal film maker” is an oxymoron!
Very good points. It is needed very much. Most of our young people are ignorant of basic economics and need educating and guidance, which they would appreciate.
I seem to recall we said the same thing about Barak, twice.
