The Democrats’ 2020 Implosion
Posted on | November 1, 2019 | Comments Off on The Democrats’ 2020 Implosion
All their “rising stars” have fallen to earth:
This primary is turning into a giant bonfire of once-promising political talents who could make national reporters swoon.
As far back as 2017, Vogue and other national glossies gushed over the presidential potential of Kirsten Gillibrand.
Beto O’Rourke was the favorite subject of glowing profiles in national publications throughout 2018.
Julian Castro spent much of the past decade being touted as “the Latino Obama.”
Cory Booker was the subject of documentaries and a social media star . . . and like the rest, he’s an afterthought.
And as our John McCormick notes, Kamala Harris’s campaign may be reaching the stage of an M.Night Shamalayan character — long since dead, but still walking around in denial of this difficult truth.
Read the whole thing. In case you haven’t figured it out yet, Elizabeth Warren will be the Democratic nominee in 2020. Perhaps one major reason Democrats have been in such a hysterical rush to impeach President Trump is because they see what anyone else with two eyes and a brain can see — Trump will stomp Warren like Godzilla stomping Tokyo. Notice — you could scarcely miss it — that this “UkraineGate” frenzy boiled over just about the time the first few rounds of TV debates among the Democrat hopefuls had made clear that (a) Biden was hopeless, and (b) none of the “rising stars” had a chance. Biden’s poll numbers began to sag and Warren’s numbers started rising, and then — BOOM! — Schiff and the House Democrats hit the panic button.
