For the last eight weeks, the democrats are pointing fingers at leadership, wondering how so much money was spent for nothing, figuring out why endorsements by Oprah and Queen Latifah fell on deaf ears and most importantly how they let Trump outsmart them.
One conclusion.
Arguably, Barack Obama was the most intelligent, articulate and likeable democratic President since JFK. I mean while I think he did as much to divide the country as anyone, he was still able to pull off two victories all be it over lame opponents. In short, he was the man for the ages.
Then comes Hillary. One of the most abrasive, egotistical women to ever be involved at such a high level. She took for granted that being a woman, having good old Bill behind her and even a very late head nod from Barack would put her in office. Big mistake. Huge!
Out of the closet comes dusty Joe. They prop him up and convince him that Obama can help him beat Trump and they together can bring the party back to life. It worked for a little while. Joe did what he was told, smiled nicely, sniffed babies and acted Presidential. But then, the worst debate performance since the famous, "Senator, you are no John Kennedy" debate.
Oh oh, we're in trouble says Nancy and Chuck. Whatever can we do Barack?
Well, says Barack, we can't hide him any longer. People know that Joe is in early stages of dementia.
"But Mr. President, it's too late to run a primary. Do you think we can put Kamala in and actually pull it off'.
"Yeah, with the right coaching and her sorority girl personality, plus Trump's legal baggage, we can get her in and pull her strings."
So less than 100 days before the election, they trot in Kamala. She gets the usual boost from the convention and the fact she's a black female. The money rolled in like a tidal wave. Looked good on paper. Even the polls gave them hope.
But then, those interviews. " I can't think of anything I would do differently". OMG, more trouble.
Then, some lunatic takes a shot at Trump and all the sudden people feel sorry for him.
Election day started with promise. Kamala was all smiles but when you looked at the faces on some of her team and democrats in congress, you knew the writing was on the wall.
So, here's the bottom line. Democrats can't re-incarnate Barack Obama. He's done and for all practical purposes, this loss reflects on him as well as Kamala.
The democrats must start looking for a JFK style democrat so some of the people who felt the party left them at the curb will engage again. I don't know if that candidate exists right now, but I do know there are several GOP members in line already for 2028.
Now the real surprise. Everything above, with some paraphrasing, was agreed to by our resident liberal. He was ready to admit that Kamala was really a joke used by the party.
Hopefully the democrats will put up AOC or another member of the squad. LOL.
CHIEFS THREE-PEAT
