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
If they stand behind you, give them protection.
If they stand beside you, give them respect.
If they stand in front of you, watch their back.
If they stand against you, show them no mercy.
My bad. I’ve been using fuzzy Obama math. In that case, Trump needs to win one out of following states, WI, AZ or MN. Supposedly MN is in play now and Omar is from Minneapolis and my guess is that she’s not popular in rest of the state which may help Trump win MN.
If she were to run you can count on Trump and Barr to open the flood gates of how her husband weaponized EVERY DAMN DEPARTMENT of the government to overturn an election!!! There is NO WAY Obammie OR his wife wants ALL of this coming to the light of day!!! NO WAY Mooch runs NO WAY!!!
Yeah right. Already have Warren out doing the Oprah! You get a free collage education! You get free healthcare (if your illegal) You get free daycare!”
