Warning: Any Candidate Considering Running for President as a Democrat in 2020 [View all]

[MineralMan]

should stop and think seriously before criticizing Barack Obama. In this country, huge blocs of voters actively supported President Obama in both of his presidential election and during his terms as President. In fact, without those voters, it will be virtually impossible for any Democrat to win office in 2020.

We should all remember that we lost the 2016 election, in part due to those voters not turning out in adequate numbers to defeat even a Republican moron who opposed Hillary Clinton. We made the mistake of dividing the Democratic Party and alienating a large group of voters who strongly supported Barack Obama as President.

Now, and in 2020, Obama is no longer the POTUS, but instead of his popularity dropping, it is increasing. Any candidate who does not take advantage of that will surely lose, hopefully in the primaries. Any candidate who does not understand what motivates a number of demographic groups who strongly supported President Obama cannot possibly recapture the energy and enthusiasm that swept Barack Obama into office, despite his being the very first President of color.

Criticism of our most successful Democratic President in recent history is NOT the way to win back the White House. Any potential candidate who does not fully understand that should reconsider even running. Such criticism will lead to another defeat and further damage progressivism.

Let's not make the same mistakes we made in 2016, please!

That's my opinion. Your opinion might be different.
