Establishment Democrats Are Looking For A “Savior” To Enter The Race, But Will They Give Us A Devil Instead?

    Establishment Democrats are becoming extremely nervous because they are starting to realize that the field of candidates currently running for the Democratic nomination is exceedingly weak.  The campaign is nearly a year old, there have been nationally televised debates month after month, and at this point, only three candidates in the field have any chance of winning.

    All of the other candidates have completely flopped, and establishment Democrats are deeply concerned about the weaknesses of the three candidates that are still standing.  Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are considered to be way too liberal to win a general election, and Joe Biden has been slipping in the polls and his fundraising numbers have been absolutely terrible.   With just a few months left until voting begins, many establishment Democrats are now desperate for a “savior” to come along and bail them out, and that could potentially result in a very familiar name entering the race.

    This cycle more Democrats have run for president than ever before, and at first, it seemed like at least a few of them would generate a significant level of enthusiasm.  But now that it is clear that it is a three-way race between Biden, Warren, and Sanders, key Democratic operatives all over the country are evaluating whether there are other options.  The following originally comes from the New York Times

    When a half-dozen Democratic donors gathered at the Whitby Hotel in Manhattan last week, the dinner began with a discussion of which presidential candidates the contributors liked. But as conversations among influential Democrats often go these days, the meeting quickly evolved into a discussion of who was not in the race — but could be lured in.

    What Democrats care about more than anything else is beating Donald Trump in November 2020, and right now there are serious doubts about those that are leading the race.

    Former Obama adviser David Axelrod put it this way

    “With Trump looming, there is genuine concern that the horse many have bet on may be pulling up lame and the horse who has sprinted out front may not be able to win,” said David Axelrod, a former adviser to President Barack Obama.

    Of course, the horse that is “pulling up lame” is Joe Biden.  For most of the race, he was leading in the polls, but recently his numbers have been falling and his fundraising has been abysmal.  The following comes from Vanity Fair

    While Vice President Joe Biden may still be the front-runner in the 2020 polls, he’s falling woefully behind when it comes to campaign cash. New campaign finance filings released Tuesday reveal that while the 2020 candidate took in $15.7 million in the third quarter, Biden’s campaign only has $8.9 million on hand going into the fourth quarter. And with the Iowa caucuses rapidly approaching in February, his donors are reportedly starting to get nervous about Uncle Joe making it to the finish line.

    Biden’s third quarter cash haul falls far behind his fellow top-tier 2020 candidates. Senator Bernie Sanders took in $25.3 million and has $33.7 million cash on hand, while Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Biden’s closest rival in the polls, took in $24.7 million and has $25.7 million on hand. Though slightly further down in the polls, Mayor Pete Buttigieg was one of the top third-quarter fundraisers with $19.2 million and $23.4 million on hand.

    Biden’s pitiful fundraising haul is yet another indication of the lack of enthusiasm surrounding his campaign.

    People that give money to campaigns generally do so because they truly believe in the candidate that they are giving money to.

    But throughout his political career, Biden has never been able to generate much national enthusiasm, and the same thing is true today.

    And if Biden is really struggling to raise money now, how in the world is he going to compete with Trump’s fundraising machine in the general election?

    Top Democrats all over the nation are talking about these things, and many of them are intent on finding a “savior” that can rescue them from the potential disaster that they see looming in November 2020.

    In recent days, two of the biggest names that are being thrown around are Hillary Clinton and Michael Bloomberg.

    Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Bloomberg have both told people privately in recent weeks that if they thought they could win, they would consider entering the primary — but that they were skeptical there would be an opening, according to Democrats who have spoken with them.

    Bloomberg is an interesting figure, but the Democrats are simply not going to nominate a rich, white billionaire, and so he might as well forget it.

    Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, would instantly become the front runner if she were to enter the race, and according to the Stamford Advocate she thinks about it “all the time”…

    Those close to Clinton, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment on her behalf, say she has felt vindicated over the past few weeks as Trump’s political difficulties have deepened. That sentiment was reinforced this week when the State Department announced its probe into emails sent to a private server, a major complication of her 2016 campaign, found no evidence of deliberate mishandling of classified information by department employees.

    “Ultimately, it’s unlikely she would do it,” said one person who has spoken with her. “But put it this way: It ain’t zero. And does she think about it all the time? Absolutely.”

    This month, Hillary Clinton has been all over the mainstream media, and she has been frequently asked about the 2020 race.

    In response, she has repeatedly stated that she is not endorsing any of the current candidates, and she has refused to shoot down the persistent rumors that she may enter the race herself.

    For example, at the latest stop on her “book tour,” she had every opportunity to say that she was not running, but instead, she seemed to welcome the speculation

    “All that matters is that we win,” Clinton told Strayed. “I hate to be so, you know, simplistic about it. We have to nominate (cough) … the best …

    “You!” someone shouted from the audience, drawing a big smile and laugh from Clinton.

    She didn’t disavow the idea.

    “Oh, my. Well, thank you,” Clinton said. “I just feel so strongly that, look, I just want to say a little bit more about this, because what’s going on now with the impeachment inquiry is not a choice it was an obligation under the Constitution.”

    You can watch her making these remarks on video right here.

    And then on Tuesday, Clinton sparked even more speculation when she shared a very cryptic quote from Beyonce on Instagram

    Hillary Clinton on Tuesday kicked up more 2020 buzz after posting a quote from pop megastar Beyoncé about the need to take power, praising the sentiment and adding, “Beyoncé speaks the truth.”

    The failed presidential candidate posted the quote from the “Halo” singer on Instagram on Tuesday. It read, “Power’s not given to you. You have to take it.”

     

    Clinton’s post has received more than 53,000 likes so far, and most of the candidates currently in the Democratic field would kill for that sort of enthusiasm.

    And when asked about a potential rematch with Trump during a recent appearance on PBS Newshour, Clinton responded by saying that “maybe there does need to be a rematch – I mean obviously I can beat him again”.

    Of course, that could only happen if Trump actually makes it to the 2020 election.  After the Democrat-controlled House impeaches Trump, there will be a trial in the U.S. Senate, and many experts are assuming that the Republican-controlled Senate will protect Trump and keep him in office.

    But when the Daily Caller recently contacted every Republican in the Senate, only 7 of them said that they have ruled out voting to remove President Trump from office.

    Only 7 out of 53.

    I am extremely concerned about what is going to happen in the Senate because removing Trump from office would throw our entire country into a state of chaos.

    And with our nation in a state of chaos, it would be the perfect opportunity for the most evil politician of our generation to step forward and pick up the pieces.

      1. There are three groups voting democrat.

        1. Freak and freak supporters: (they know what the democrat party is and support it)

        2. Always democrat: (they’re re-voting for JFK, Truman and FDR not understanding that the democrats have abandoned labor and not realizing what it has become)

        3. Trump haters: (Trump’s personality being a braggart is easy to dislike. His inability to articulate and use the English language adds to a poor image.

      2. It is not about what the Demo.s can give us, the citizens of the US; it’s about staying in power and accumulating more power. Their candidate is not for us, it’s for them. They want a candidate who can win election, and not only win an election, but convincingly so as to say there is a “mandate” for them to implement leftist driven ideological policies.
        HRC labeled half of the US electorate “deplorables”, this is not a technical or impersonal description, it is personal and reflects her contempt for the citizens. Her ilk has a visceral and pathological hatred of the working people, but their most vile and implacable hatred is for straight white traditional working-class Christians.
        HRC would definitely become the Demo. front runner if she entered the race, but even she is aware she would lose a second time in a fair election to DT. If she does enter, you can absolutely bet there will be election fraud on a huge scale. Should she still lose there will be Demo. allegations of fraud (though false) against DT so unrelenting it will create a crisis. Just like they made fraudulent accusations of a variety of his supposed crimes, even though she is really guilty of those very crimes and even worse.
        It will become obvious to all before the general election that the effort to impeach was the only method available to keep DT from serving a second term.

      3. The rumors are getting more persistent about Hillary having another go at it. I still think her health problems won’t allow for it. I believe her campaign this time would be no better than the last one. The last time she stole the nomination from Bernie Sanders. She couldn’t win even with all the usual democrat voter fraud last time so what the hell makes her think she can win this time? This will be interesting.

      4. Clinton will get crushed worse then last time. Only Harold Stassen ran for president more than her.

      5. So of the probable candidates, which aren’t the devil?
        Yang and Gabbard perhaps, but the rest seem to have overrun their Dorian Gray contract.

      6. Michelle Obama / Oprah Winfrey 2020

      7. I still believe Hillary will be back in the race by Thanksgiving.
        Sgt.

        Probably get moderated again. .

      8. C’mon, that’s been the plan all along. Send out the nutcases, then have the hildebeest make “reasonable” noises, which she/it has. Trot her out at the last minute, and have the back room make the deal (a la Sen. Sanders; whether you agree with his politics or not, he was stabbed in the back). She’ll put on an act of reasonability which will shove aside the others. Then, she’ll attack Trump with all the things he has not done: that the demos were the ones who blocked them is “irrelevant.” The average sleepy citizen has too short a memory to recall what was done.

      9. She is just repeating what is said into her earpiece.
        Watch the vid..

      10. hi 🙂 bross 🙂
