Who Can Beat Trump?

[Kinser79]

The Washington comPost is a doubious source at the best of times.  That being said lets take a look at this list.

1.  Sanders.  The DNC has already proven that they don't want him.  Remember they already cheated him out of the nomination and he was the only one the Dims had in 2016 who could have possibly taken down Trump and it isn't all that likely he would have anyway.  Lets put it this way after he genuflected to Hildebeast he lost his base.

2.  Warren:  Pocahontas has already said she isn't running.  And even if she did it is unlikely she would win against Trump as an incumbent.  Like Hildebeast she is very polarizing and doesn't play well outside of the Blue Block.  The Dims must take back the Rust Belt or be condemed to being a regional party at best.

3.  Harris:  She's a possible but she would have a tough slog.  Mid-Westerners in particular are wary of Californians and she would have a tough time in the South too.

4.  Biden:  Too much Obama baggage.  Enough said.

5.  Cory Booker:  This would be an attempt for an Obama 2.0 but I doubt the country has the stomach for yet an other junior senator with little executive experience either in politics or business.  Need I remind anyone that Newark New Jersey is a shit hole.  Granted it was a shit hole before Booker but he didn't even attempt to turn it around.  In fact he thrived on the corruption.

6.  Gillibrand:  Too close to Hildebeast and rapey Bill.  Maybe Boomers haven't gotten the message yet, but anyone connected to the Clintons or the Bushes is pretty much toast for at least a generation.

7.  Deval Pattrick:  A Blue Block Governor.  It is unclear if he would play well.  It depends on how far left he runs and how flip-flopity he is. I will say he's a possible.

8.  Terry McAuliffe:  I will say that he's a possible, but he can't win against Trump.  He's an establishment Democrat and they are going to lose against Trump. 

9.  Eric Holder:  A controversial AG who has loads of Obama baggage and would energize the GOP base against him.  Honestly the GOP could run Mitt Romney against him and win.  Romney is not popular outside of the Never Trumper Rinos and maybe Utah (and I think that's because he owns a set of magical underpants).

10.  Bloomberg:  The DNC would never allow him to be nominated.  He could possibly beat Trump, but in the end you'd just basically have Trump with a D after his name.  Given the choice between Incumbent Trump ® and Challenger "Trump" (D), Trump ® wins.

11.  Chris Murphy:  Maybe, can he play well in the Midwest and the Southern Purple states.  If not he can't win.

12.  Andrew Cuomo:  A corrupt New York Governor who is known for corruption and who is very close to the Dimocrat Establishment won't win against Trump.

13.  Sharrod Brown:  If the DNC allows him to get the nomination he would be a big threat to Trump if the Economy falters.  Otherwise he is a paper tiger who has been riding on the coat tails of labor unions which are incredibly weak and have been for a while.

14.  Mitch Landrieu:  Wonderful, all the corruption of New Orleans along with the economic prosparity of that city.  Southerners will turn out in droves for Trump--even the most brainwashed Black ones--against this guy.  He can get elected in New Orleans sure, but he has difficulty state wide even in Louisiana and they are an odd duck to start with.

15.  Oprah:  Yeah....she isn't running.  That said that is probably who the Democrats need to take back the white house.  Unfortunately she's not running.
