In a couple of decades these losers will be in charge of the Democrat party.

What did we just watch? Was it a political party committing suicide, or was it the country? We’ll find out next November.
That Democratic debate Thursday was something else, and by something else I mean horrifying. Not only wasn’t there a sane person on that stage, there wasn’t even a mildly crazy adult. “Bat feces crazy” comes to mind.
Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren didn’t miss a beat as they promised to spend more money than exists by simply “taxing the rich.” Their health care, free college, student loan forgiveness, everyone gets an electric car, peace, love, and understanding platforms only lacked giving everyone a cash-excreting unicorn. But it’s still early in the process.
Kamala Harris wants to be clear about everything, then avoids every opportunity to get specific. All the candidates have had to disavow some of their past positions for being insufficiently “woke,” but Harris has had to deny everything she’s done that brought her to this point. Being a former prosecutor would normally be a positive, people tend to like not having criminals roaming the streets. Somehow, having served law and order has become a liability in the Democratic Party – you can’t run on supporting cops in the party that hates cops. So Harris, being the only person who finds herself funny, just giggled a lot and spoke in platitudes.
Beto O’Rourke, on the other hand, spoke in his typical series of halting shouts. The cross between Napoleon Dynamite and Butthead’s faux outrage was only eclipsed by his eagerness to continue to dance a jig on the graves of El Paso’s shooting victims. I’d say he’s replaced coherent sentences with cursing and indignation, but he’s never spoken in coherent sentences and likely doesn’t know what indignation means. Someone told him he could win the nomination by calling everyone and everything racist while promising to forcibly take away the most popular rifle in the country and forgot to tell him they were joking. The drunk drivers’ campaign holds the record for setting the world’s largest pile of cash on fire. It, along with his ego, can be seen from space.
Joe Biden gave his best debate performance to date, which is a bit like celebrating your kid getting on base because he was hit by a pitch but otherwise went 0-for-4. It’s amazing how low the bar can be set for a former Vice President of the United States. Not that the job requires any abilities, which made Biden perhaps the most qualified person to have ever held it. His dentures nearly fell out, he lectured on the importance of playing records for kids, and rambled off-topic a couple of times. For him, aces!
It was considered so good for Joe because it was so bad for Julian Castro. The twin who not only split a womb but also a brain with his brother, attacked Biden for being old, repeating three times that Joe had forgotten something he’d said just 2 minutes earlier. The only problem was Castro was the one who was wrong. Oops. Castro’s resume is thinner than his short-term memory. He served as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (YAWN) and Mayor of San Antonio, which is just this side of an honorary position with no power aside from wielding scissors at ribbon cutting ceremonies. He would’ve been chosen as Hillary Clinton’s running mate in 2016 because he’s Hispanic, but he couldn’t speak Spanish well enough so she went with a white guy who could. He’s completed his Rosetta Stone Spanish courses now, and seems to be running for the second slot on any ticket based on his last name. Doubtful it’ll be Biden’s now.
Andrew Yang promised to give 10 people $1,000 per month for a year, drawn randomly from people who signed up at his website. My name wasn’t picked, so who cares?
Pete Buttigieg didn’t do himself any favors, he didn’t do any harm either. That’s a problem for him since his time as “flavor of the month” expired several months ago and he’s been relegated to top-tier of the “also-ran” category.
Cory Booker is trying to sell himself as the one candidate who lives in a poor neighborhood. But his parents were executives at IBM and he attended Stanford, Oxford, and Yale, so his “poverty” is closer to tourism and vanity than anything resembling reality. That’s is biggest problem – nothing about him is sincere if you look under the surface. The image he seeks to project to the public is as real as the imaginary friend name “T-Bone” he pretended existed and spoke about often while Mayor of Newark, New Jersey. (Seriously, check it out.)
Amy Klobuchar was on stage too. A fact I had to Google because I couldn’t remember who else was up there but knew there were 10.
One of these people will be the nominee of the Democratic Party, and whichever one ultimately falls out of the clown car needs to be taken seriously. They will have a 50 percent chance of becoming the next president. Then we’ll discover whether we watched a party destroy itself, or the country last Thursday.
I’ll admit that despite my theory, seems those contending now are too deranged or deluded to realize their predicament.
Unless old Red Eye drops out before then end of 2019, there is no chance for a stature candidate.
I believe Biden will drop out before the end of 2019 for health reasons.
Watching Biden is like the old movie WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S. The party leaders and the media are keeping him in the race for as long as possible but like Bernie he is beginning to smell.
To be replaced by the young and healthy Hillary clintoon
OUR problem is the public schools.
They have developed a way to eliminate logical, critical and deductive reasoning from the minds of innocent children.
By the time they graduate from HS, NO ONE can tell nor teach them a thing.
The Democrat party destroyed America before the turn of the century.
If they commit suicide soon, the country will be saved. Think what they will do for the climate.
No offense ... hope your prediction is wrong only in that the longer Red Eye stays in, the more it hurts Warren (an HRC copycat) - who, according to a headline today ... has changed from being an Indian to a pioneer. (If the idea of pioneer resonates with the demokraps, it is a pejorative. They despise America’s history.)
BTW Bernie not only smells, he doesn’t look good. He comes across as a very angry old man. He won’t be the nominee either.
To be replaced by the young and healthy Hillary clintoon
Hillary Clinton is done for. I believe she has used up most of her political IOU (in keeping herself out of jail).
She is in no better shape (physically) than Biden.
If Hellary is breathing she is trying!
She is scheming, bribing, cajoling, threatening, promising people, etc. to get another shot. Weird thing is right now she’s the “reasonable moderate” compared to the current set of clowns. I can see her stepping in to “save-the-day” for the Rats. The MSM will get their marching orders and she will be explained as a “Power Ranger” to the Rats.
They’re getting a considerable amount of assistance from Bush League Republicans.
And we keep re-electing them.
Sounds plausible. A friend of mine says it will be Oprah.
The purpose of primaries, IMHO, was to give the media two bites at the apple. They were able to influence who the parties selected, and then influence who got elected.
With media influence becoming fractured and obviously partisan, that purpose holds less effect.
I will not be surprised to see a return to genuine party conventions, with the parties picking candidates, instead of these semi-public primaries.
In a couple of decades these losers will be in charge of the Democrat party.
I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: ‘O Lord make my enemies ridiculous.’ And God granted it.

The “savior” could be John Kerry. Could it be Al Gore?
Al Gore, with such “prestige” from a liberal viewpoint on global warming, could be the “savior” waiting in the wings.
Would Democrats really turn to Hillary as a “savior” this time around? I have my doubts that Hillary is the one.
Kerry would make sense.
However only Hellary has the ruthlessness to sweep everyone y else aside.
If the field stays confused & muddled look for at least an attempt by her.
A rational Rat (if one exists!) might decide, “ok Trump’s got his 2nd term. This one’s a throwaway!” So let Hellary run again & fail. This time fail spectacularly! Not question she failed! No Russian Myth to try and cloud things. A big enough “FAIL” might rid the Rats of the Clinton cancer once and for all.
A reasonable solution if they view it that way, if like I said there’s a rational decision maker somewhere.
John Kerry age—75 years
Al Gore age—71 years
Hillary Clinton age—71 years
Considered Gore as well. After 2000, and especially after massage-gate, his “Love Story” marriages ended - both with his wife and party. He isn’t the lovable party dunce he once was ... he doesn’t care either - he got very rich, soaking a lot of money out of the climate hoaxer community.
I too doubt HRC would be back. And Trump would win by even a larger margin than in 2016. She’d play like a scratched and gouged flip side of a yesteryear number 1 single (45 rpm). (Anyone hear from BJ CLinton lately for his opinion?)
