5. This is perfect because it demonstrates the astronomically high bar set for Democratic presidents.

The Repubes can elect any ol' dumbass to be president, such as Trump and George W., and their supporters are perfectly fine with that. They're even fine with the fact that their most recent dumbass president and most likely future candidate for president is a twice-impeached, four-times indicted sexual predator sociopath who stole the nation's top secret documents and likely sold them to Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia.

But a Democratic president has to be a person of extraordinary courage, conviction, integrity, and charisma, like Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Jimmy Carter, plus have many years of governing experience. If they don't have these things or if they have what is perceived of as a flaw, such as being up there in years, all of the GOP, all the Repube voters, and almost all of the media jumps their shit.

We Dems have to elect a Superman or a Wonder Woman, while the Repubes are allowed to elect a cross between Jughead and the Penguin.

Those are exactly the qualities they hate because they are "elititist."

10. So true! And I forgot "intelligent and educated," two REALLY elitist qualities that infuriate them.

8. The GQP doesn't care about their candidtate's qualifications.

If they win, they're happy to wield power. If they lose, they reap the benefits of Democratic policies. That's why they can afford to run the whackiest of the whacky, we can't.

12. And Buttegieg is too young and too gay, and Klobuchar is too female, and Swalwell is too cool,......

And Newsom is too West Coast, and and and and......

The media will never run out of reasons why a Democrat should not be president--never mind that the country always seems to better off when a Democrat IS president, but why should the media get caught up in such a minor detail, right? Who do they think they're working for, after all?

*Hint: it ain't us.

13. Well said.
