Do the Dems Have a Darkhorse in 2020?

I just watched the Donald Trump interview with Chuck Todd on Meet the Press and I have to be honest I found myself laughing throughout much of it. As much and as often as I’ve been critical of Donald Trump there is the realization that as a rogue grifter real estate closer he is compelling to listen to even when you know the facts are being compromised.

I would completely ignore all polls in relation to this election for the simple reason there has never been a character like this in the White House minus Frank Underwood.

If the economy hangs together and the country avoids recession I would guess Trump will get another term.

To me the Dems need to remember two things …. 1 people vote THEIR pocketbook issues and the Electoral College is what allowed Trump in the White House and could possibly keep him there beyond 2020.

To me…Sleepy Joe Biden is not the guy who could derail Trump. I’m all for the Dems winning Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and maybe even Ohio….but a new face is needed.

I like Michael Bennett, but certainly realize he has no chance in hell. I think Elizabeth Warren is a sharp person, but would she resonate with the Trump voters in these states?

The Dems have to win the Rust Bucket…period. This is precisely where Hillary Clinton lost the election in 2016. Hint to the Dems…you’re going to win New York and California regardless of who your nominee turns out to be.

It’s all about winning the Big Ten…. not the coastal elites. They don’t read Breitbart.

The Dem debates begin this week and Ohio congressman Tim Ryan or as his friends call him Youngstown Tim is a candidate I’m interested in watching as to how he performs on the big stage with the nation watching.

If this guy isn’t your Rust Bucket wheelhouse candidate then I don’t know who would be.

Trump is the incumbent. Like it or not the incumbent candidate has numerous advantages to keep the White House.

It will be fascinating to see who steps up for the Dems. I have Elizabeth Warren and Tim Ryan on my short list this week as two I will be watching closely beyond Michael Bennett.
