One Thing is Clear: Leading Democratic Primary Candidate Are Getting Looked At

[peggysue2]

46. They started before O'Rourke made his official announcement because . . .

the star quality the man exhibited during the Texas race was a definite threat. Still is. And will continue to be a reason for high anxiety.

Joe Biden will have the Big Guns leveled at him as well because his poll numbers are strong and he has the experience, the seasoned hand other candidates lack.

Elizabeth Warren will continue to be nailed because as a progressive candidate, she has the best track record and can articulate policies in a clear and reasoned manner.

Kamala Harris has been criticized for her prosecutorial background (as if POC don't want safe, crime-free communities) because she is a star in her own right and has a clear voice on the issues.

All of our top-tier candidates will be clobbered from the Left and the Right because they can win the primary and send the Trumpster packing. Though I wasn't thrilled with the primary season starting this early, it does mean that all the 'stuff' out there will be exposed and thereby diluted over time.

That's a good thing because the electorate will get tired of hearing the continuous whine and accusation chatter and focus on the individual candidates, narrowing it down to the electability factor. Which IMHO is the most important quality a candidate can bring to 2020: Beat the living daylights out of Donald Trump and his odious enablers.
