There seems little doubt, at least to me, that the Democrats have made their choice to run for President in 2020. I’m dead serious about my prediction, but I’ve decided to try my hand at a bit of satire, so here it is.
The powers that be in the Democratic Party must have had a meeting that went something like this:
*3 Democratic Party insiders converse over cognac. A figure, hidden by the shadows, listens to the conversation while saying nothing.*
Insider 1: “Well, the corrupt old white lady thing didn’t work. Twice. So I guess that rules out Elizabeth Warren.”
Insider 2: “Well we could do what the Republicans did and run an obnoxious New York liberal!”
Insider 3: “Andrew Cuomo? No thanks.”
Insider 1: “Well how about Bernie?”
Insider 3: “He’ll be HOW old? And did you forget that we rigged the primaries for him not to win so the general public wouldn’t realize that the Socialist platform and ours are indistinguishable?”
Insider 2: “Plus, I thought we hadn’t given up on a woman?”
Insider 1: “Well the success we’ve had recently is with a young, first-term black Senator. I guess this means we go with Kamala Harris.”
Insider 2: “But she’s already made an ass of herself on a number of issues that won’t play well with middle Americans in swing states we lost in 2016. How do we make her seem more palatable.”
*Long, thoughtful pause*
Insider 1: “I’ve got it!! Weve never gone wrong playing with racial stereotypes, so we while we continue our plan of disrupting the Trump Administration with nonsense issues, we trot out every stereotypical obnoxious black woman we have in the arsenal. After a year of two of listening to Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters, and Frederica Wilson, Kamala Harris will seem articulate and intelligent by comparison.”
Insider 3: “Won’t most blacks be offended by our putting the spotlight on their worst examples?”
Insider 2: “I’m sure we can mitigate that.” *Insider 2 turns toward the dark figure in the corner* “Sir, what do you think?”
The figure in the dark is thoughtful for a moment and then speaks.
George Soros: “It can work. I’ll simply pay Tariq Nasheed and other professional race baiters on my payroll to call anyone who sees through the plan a ‘white supremacist.’ The masses will accept it as true. Plus, we’ve always made racial issues work for us, in spite of the truth.”
Insider 2: “Then it’s settled. Kamala Harris will be the nominee in 2020, and we’ll put our worst in the spotlight to make her look better.”
Insider 1: “If this is ever discovered, the populace will know we’re the real racists, not the conservatives, who dare to think blacks and Hispanics are just a single capable as whites of providing for themselves.”
Soros: “I own most of the media, and Murdoch was stupid enough to allow Fox to be turned into a propaganda wing for Trump, so there won’t be any credible conservative voices on TV to oppose our propaganda.”
*The 3 insiders nod in agreement*
Yes, this was satire, but I wonder just how far from the truth it is. I do think Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) has been chosen to be the Democratic Party nominee for President in 2020. I guess we have to wait about 2 1/2 years for me to be proven right or wrong.
I will say this though: I correctly predicted the 2008, 2012, and 2016 nominees, and the reasons why they were chosen. The one I got wrong was I thought Trump would not win, but in retrospect I underestimated (as did many) just how much Republicans and “conservatives” would swallow to defeat Hillary Clinton, not how much Hillary now despised even by many on the Left, not here ow much they took for granted she would beat Trump.
Let’s face it: the Democrats don’t exactly have a deep bench, so I think they plan on playing the dual race and gender cards in 2020 in the form of Harris. They assume (incorrectly) that opposition to her would be because she’s a black woman. Conservatives would have no problem with a black female President. What we care about is policy, and the content of character.
Republicans don’t care so much about those things. Just beating Democrats seems to be enough for them. It’s not for me. I don’t see Kamala Harris as a poor choice because she’s black or a woman. I’d be happy to vote for a conservative black woman if she were to run (looking at you Condi Rice). Harris is unqualified because she’s a Socialist and a fool. But so was Obama and he won.
Barring the unforeseen, the GOP will again nominate the incumbent who is also a fool, and lacking any real conservative principles. He’s held true to a few promises and that’s is all he has to run on in 2020. The Democrats’ plan might just work.
