We know that the democrat who makes the biggest ass of himself is lining up to take over leadership of the democrats. The Clintons are gone, Obama is gone, Biden is gone, Sanders is ancient, Warren may make a move but she is about as much of a wrinkled prune as Hillary. Who has made a complete mockery of the Senate confirmation process? That leaves the one and only
Don't underestimate Andrew Cuomo. He's setting himself up to be the nominee. Plus the family name has more pull than Booker's. Booker, Cuomo Raise Profiles Years Ahead Of 2020 Presidential Race http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2017/01/12/booker-cuomo-2020/
When Hillary was running against a black guy how well did the Clinton name do for her and the Cuomo name aint close to the Clinton name. With that said, yeah, Andrew Cuomo has said a lot of ridiculous remarks over the last few years that the democrats eat up.
I agree with you, but until Futurecurrents agrees with you then we cannot say that this person has "taken over leadership of the democrats". What about Elizabeth Warren? Elizabeth is a Woman, Gay and possibly Native American (at least she claimed that at one point). What matters is who has the greater score card in the Oppression Olympics. I am not sure being a straight light-skinned African American is enough anymore. One thing is for certain, a straight White Male cannot ever be the leader of the Democratic Party again. Unless they are extremely radical or socialist. Be on the look-out for someone who is Gay or Muslim or Female. All of the Above would be the perfect combo. All bets are off on White Males. The Oppression Olympics Score Card Rules Supreme!
Warren will be 71 in 2020. She is certainly the kind of leftwing moonbat that the dems love, but will they nominate another wrinkled prune? It is certainly not out of the question. This Booker has been smearing Jeff Sessions and a quick way to prominence in the democrat party is by smearing old, white, southerns. They can't help themselves.
might want to hold off on that coronation (remember how that last one turned out?): How Cory Booker went from progressive hero to traitor in under 2 days New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker was trying to walk to the men’s bathroom Tuesday afternoon when about 30 immigration activists surrounded him to offer their thanks. Booker had just vowed to testify against Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, a longtime immigration hard-liner, at the attorney general nominee’s confirmation hearing — something no senator had ever done to a colleague. Progressives cheered the decision. When Booker followed through the next day and denounced Sessions’s record on race, many left-leaning voices were ecstatic: But by Thursday, the story about Booker had flipped. The New Jersey senator and 12 other Senate Democrats had joined the bulk of the Republican caucus to kill a proposal aimed at lowering prescription drug prices. What made Booker’s vote all the more anguishing for the left is that the proposal won the backing of 13 Republican senators, and had a real chance of passing. The recriminations came quickly.“This is classic Booker — stand out front on feel-good social issues, regardless of his past positions, and align with big money everywhere else,” wrote Walter Bragman at Paste Magazine. Booker has long faced criticism on the left for cultivating the elite financial ties that much of the Bernie Sanders wing despises. And while it’s true that his vote may have had more to do with the concentration of the pharmaceutical industry in his home state, it’s also only served to confirm some progressives’ suspicions that he’s too closely allied with corporate interests in the Democratic Party. [snip] The backlash to Booker, building for a long time Thirteen Democrats broke ranks with their party to defeat the Sanders-Klobuchar amendment. But the ensuing outcry from the left has been particularly concentrated on Booker, a national media star widely seen as a possible 2020 presidential candidate. The Huffington Post accused Booker and the other defecting Democrats of “doing the industry’s bidding.” Jezebel noted that he had “completely disregarded overwhelming national sentiment” and that he was setting up Democrats “for a massive failure.” After asking why Booker would vote for an uncontroversial proposal, Slate’s Helaine Olen more or less settles on the conclusion that it must have been the campaign contributions. Jezebel reported that Booker received $267,338 from pharmaceutical companies, which led some on the left to say that this money explained his vote. “[Booker’s] decision to violate Senate norms is admirable,” wrote Sarah Jones at the New Republic of his speech against Sessions. “But his rejection of the Sanders-Klobuchar proposal is the latest entry in a legislative record that should worry progressives.” Indeed, as Jones notes, no senator has raised more money from Wall Street than Booker. In 2012, then mayor of Newark, Booker memorably criticized President Obama for going after Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital — calling the attacks on private equity “ridiculous” and “nauseating.” He’s worked closely with Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and education reformer Michelle Rhee on improving Newark’s schools — a decision that’s been criticized by some for allowing private industry to influence public schools. http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/1/14/14262732/cory-booker-senate-democrats Cory Booker And A Bunch Of Democrats Prove Trump Right On Big Pharma 13 Democrats did the industry's bidding last night. huffingtonpost.com
The leftist criteria for the next election is as follows. Must be black. Must be female. Must be radical as hell. Must hate everything American. Now who fits that profile? You guessed it. Michelle. And I'll tell you this right now. Unless Trump runs the table she will be a formidable opponent. I see nothing to indicate that the half of the country who voted for Clinton will become any more sane and rational. If anything they'll be more rabid than ever. Michelle is a perfect fit.
The next presidential candidate for the Democrats will never be a straight White Male. I think we can all agree that will not happen again in the next 4 to 8 years. Bill Clinton was probably the last White Male Democrat President. Because of the weak performance by Tim Kaine I am not even sure a VP will be Male AND OR White. If the Democrats want to continue to play identity politics then you would figure they might have at least one person in their party to get the "angry White Males in the rust belt vote". Who will head the DNC? Who will be the next Democratic Presidential Candidate in 4 years? (Muslim, Gay, Female, Black) they must check mark one or more of these boxes.
