How Democrats Defeat Donald Trump.

So says the always-wrong NYT. This is the establishment, Kevin Drum-like line and it’s being pushed far and wide now. There was a Friedman column nearly identical to this the other day and many other outlets are promulgating similar “wisdom.” My prediction is that if the Democrats take this tack, they will be utterly trounced. Biden will lose. Harris will probably lose. As long as the economy is reasonably ok, choosing a safe centrist is a path to defeat. It’s what happened in 2016 and it’ll happen again. (Conversely, if the economy tanks, any Democrat nominated will win.)

The Dem establishment and its sycophants like Bruni would much rather lose than have anyone elected who might actually change something and shake up their power and organization a bit. Remember that when you read pieces like his.

I know most of you reading this don’t want to believe it, but I’ll be sure to link to this when in 2020 Trump trounces your centrist “safe” choice and I will say “I told you so.”
