Democratic leaders anxious over lack of viable 2020 candidates: report

Democratic Party leaders have reportedly been struck by anxiety as the 2020 election approaches — and some fear they have no viable candidate to back.

Leaders and activists in the party are wary that all their top contenders have major weaknesses and are urging other possible candidates to get in the race, The Washington Post and The New York Times reported Tuesday.

“You can imagine much stronger candidates,” Democratic National Committee member Elaine Kamarck told The Washington Post.

Kamarck would back Sen. Sherrod Brown or retired Navy Adm. William H. McRaven if either could be convinced to throw their hat in the ring, according to the report.

Both papers reported that party figures worry Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren could be considered too liberal in a general election, while Joe Biden’s fundraising lag may prove to be an Achilles heel for the one-time clear front-runner.

The troubled position of the Dems became apparent for many of the party leaders after last week’s debate.

“Since the last debate, just anecdotally, I’ve had five or six people ask me: ‘Is there anybody else?’ ” Democrat Leah Daughtry told the Times.

“There’s more anxiety than ever,” journalist Connie Schultz, who is married to Sen. Brown, added to the Times.

The missteps and faults of the candidates have lead to speculation about whether Hillary Clinton may consider entering the race and kicking off a potential 2016 rematch between her and President Trump.

A source close to Clinton told The Washington Post it’s unlikely she’ll run — but it’s not completely out of the picture.

“Ultimately, it’s unlikely she would do it,” the source said. “But put it this way: It ain’t zero. And does she think about it all the time? Absolutely.”

Another Clinton insider told the newspaper, “Her view is: I ran against this guy, I know how to do this.”

“She has battle scars to prove it,” the source added.

The Democrats have always had bad candidates!

Hillary won't run. Oh, she WANTS to be President, but she won't run.

She doesn't have the health (or sobriety) to do another full campaign. She does not have the backing of the money people anymore. Nobody in her Party wants her running the show bullying and insulting everyone she in contact with. What she wants is to be drafted at the Convention. Then she only is required to campaign for 8 weeks and makes it difficult for the GOP to mount a defense - she thinks...

A navy admiral would run as a democrat?

Gawd

Yep. Getting to be more and more Admiral's and Generals turning left. Money talks.

Just look at their promotion dates to Flag rank and it will be obvious. For the most part anyway...

All they have is turds!!!

Amd foolish Americans have put them in office more than R's. Our current R is highly controversial and gets no breaks from most of the media. This will be a totally do or die election, if we even get to that point, which I strongly doubt.

Hillary’s standing in the corner with her hand up yelling “pick me!”

She’s making too much noise on the talk shows right now to think she doesn’t want to run. Whether the dems are crazy or desperate enough to run her is another question.

They should just run the donkey. Higher IQ than most of their other candidates. Better looking than Hillary.

You will attain enlightenment, hatari Grasshopper, when you come to the realization that THE VILE HARRIDAN IS RUNNING.
