When you look at the 2020 Democratic Presidential field it almost takes your breath away.\u00a0 The sheer range of nitwittery is stunning.\u00a0 Joe Biden, a serial plagiarist, shoulder clutcher and hair sniffer with bad hair plugs.\u00a0 Corey Booker, a man who declared himself Spartacus in front of a tv camera.\u00a0 Elizabeth Warren, an Okie who couldn\u2019t be whiter trying to pass herself off as a Cherokee in order to get a job at Harvard.\u00a0 Kamala Harris, a woman who slept her way to the top in California politics.\u00a0 Bernie Sanders, a septuagenarian communist who looks and sounds like Larry David\u2019s stunt double from \u201cCurb Your Enthusiasm.\u201d\u00a0 Pete Buttigieg?\u00a0 I won\u2019t even bother.\u00a0 And on and on and on.\u00a0 The candidates who might actually have something to offer like Michael Bloomberg aren\u2019t running because they sense that President Trump is very likely to get re-elected without much effort.\u00a0 Bloomberg is probably waiting for 2024 to see if a better opportunity presents itself.<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s not just the abnormality of the candidates that strikes you.\u00a0 It\u2019s the fact that weirdness is actually their greatest selling point.\u00a0 Bernie is popular because he is a communist. \u00a0Mayor Pete is popular because he\u2019s married to a man.\u00a0 Booker is exciting because he\u2019ll say outlandish things that even he\u2019s not sure make any sense.\u00a0 Kamala wants to turn the United States in California, the first \u201cThird World State\u201d in the Union.<\/p>\n
But in handicapping this race I think you have to assume that the weirdo pageant is really a selection process for the VP sweepstakes.\u00a0 Whichever of the wackos produces the most excitement and brings the largest constituency of unlikely voters to the Democratic ticket will end up as running mate to either Creepy Uncle Joe or Crazy Uncle Bernie.\u00a0 Because when push comes to shove, they\u2019ll put an old white guy at the head of the ticket to try and give some semblance of normality to their platform.\u00a0 The Obama experiment opened up a lot of eyes about just \u201cwho they are\u201d on the Left.\u00a0 Now in order to drag any middle-class men at all to the Democrat side they have to flee from the fringe when the general election starts.\u00a0 But if they can tack on a woman or a minority or a homosexual on as running mate, they hope it will energize enough of their own base to put them over the top.<\/p>\n
My guess is it will be the Creepy Uncle Joe\/Fauxcahontas ticket.\u00a0 And that is just marginally more likely than Kamala Harris or Corey Booker in the second spot.\u00a0 But I\u2019m pretty sure Biden will be their candidate.\u00a0 He checks all the boxes.\u00a0 His link to Obama and his folksy regular guy act is pretty close to what the Democrats think will appeal to both black voters and working-class white men.\u00a0 Fauxcahontas is the best lure for suburban white women.\u00a0 So that\u2019s the ticket I think we\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n
Wow.\u00a0 That\u2019s some \u201cdream team.\u201d\u00a0 I suspect President Trump will pummel them mercilessly in the general election and on Twitter (unless he\u2019s banned by that outlet).\u00a0 It should be a very entertaining primary and general election season.\u00a0 Stay tuned to see if my prognostication is accurate.<\/p>\n
