I was reminded of the old joke about how you want a British cop, a German engineer and an Italian lover, not a German cop, an Italian engineer, and a British lover. Funny. Then I thought about the field of Democrat Candidates.
Let me present the Best Case Scenario for the Democrats. Mind you, this is the absolute best they could hope for:
The name recognition of Elizabeth Warren
The youth appeal of Bernie Sanders
The economic practicality of Andrew Yang
The sincerity of Joe Walsh
The war record of Joe Sestak
The baggage of Pete Buttigig
The charisma of Joe Biden
That’s not real pretty. And then consider the worst case scenario:
The name recognition of Pete Buttgeig *
The youth appeal of Joe Biden
The economic practicality of Bernie Sanders
The sincerity of Cory Booker
The war record of Joe Walsh
The baggage of Kamala Harris **
The charisma of Elizabeth Warren
* I misspelled his name (twice!) and you still didn’t notice.
** But I repeat myself
