New Republic

But they tried that with a rigged nomination for her and it didn't work.

A black woman. Can’t be white.

I think they want to try to recapture some energy that Barry brought.

Clinton had high up contacts, donors AND a warchest flush with cash and couldn't pull it off. Who on the Dem horizon has even half that right now? I don't see it. Not to mention the DNC has just about zero money. Maybe 7M on hand.

This was the theory long before the metoo campaign took off. Their political doctrine dictates that they can no longer run straight white people.

I feel like it's almost guaranteed to be either Harris, Warren, or Gillibrand.

God help us.

At some point between now and 2020 they'll float Corey Booker as a Presidential hopeful to see if they can get enough blacks out to vote to give them the edge.

Eating their own. Blacks will be mad if they nominate a white woman, Women will be mad if they nominate a man. This is what identity politics gets you.

An actual woman, or just someone who identifies as a woman at the time they declare their candidacy? Can they move between genders depending on how they are polling at the time?

If they put forth a non-white woman, it could backfire.

All criticisms of her policies would be hailed as racist and sexist and that could fuel a Trump 2.0 movement.

Democrats are in a tight spot:

They can't nominate a white man because the majority of the party base hates white men.

They can't win the Midwest without nominating a white man.

I feel so badly for them.

The only 2 exceptions I could see are Bernie and Biden, but their ages may be what prohibits them. I can't see Bernie keeping up a presidential schedule in his 80s.

You don't think Bernie has left a bad enough taste in the collective mouths of his fanbase, and Biden would get destroyed by the 1000 creepy handsy photos of him?

Maxine Waters would be the best fit for them. She's good enough, she's smart enough, and doggone it, people like her.

Nah, they'll take him back in a second because they know he's a victim of the Clinton machine and the DNC.

Biden is invincible. He's done shite that would bury every person to the right of Rosie O'Donnell and he's still a favorite.

Biden’s invincibility is a media creation.

Two other times he was not

I think that's kinda the main factor. The media gives him a pass all the time. I can't see them changing that, especially if he's running against Trump.

If Biden runs, all those creepy videos of him will be plastered everywhere. No way he can run now.
