Betsy Woodruff made the most prescient statement about the difference between Elizabeth Warren/Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden. The winning Democrat will be hammering it into our psyche.
The winning Democrat will understand the real problem
“You know, you know, by the standards of our elections, it’s not actually that early,” Eugene Robinson said. “But this time it is because Joe Biden is the clear frontrunner and people have questions about him. He hasn’t really made the sale with enough of the party I think.”
Robinson is starting to realize that Biden is unlikely to be the Democratic nominee as opposed to the narrative he and others were pushing for weeks even though the tea leaves were out for all to see.
“But I think there’s a sense that he could falter,” Robinson said. “And then someone else would have to rise. And we don’t know who that is at this point.”
I think we know the likely winning Democrat or two but they dear not say it because both are too Progressive.
And then there was Bret Stephens pushing the mythical center narrative.
“Jill Biden can be right and still be wrong about her husband,” said Bret Stephens. “That is to say the central question for Democrats is nominating someone who is electable, who isn’t going to scare off those voters who a Democrat desperately needs. People like Mayor Pete and Elizabeth Warren, and so on are saying, you know, “We have to be a change agent,” because really this is a primary fight against Joe Biden and sort of the incumbent frontrunner. But the Democrat who’s going to win is going to have to communicate to the American people a sense of sanity, balance, that they’re not there to change the system but to reform the system. That’s going to be the winning ticket. It just won’t necessarily be Vice President Biden.”
Of course, that is hogwash. The winning Democrat will be the one who convinces Americans that they will make their lives better and secure.
Betsy Woodruff brought sanity to the panel. The men were all in there centrist timid modal apparently unable to read the actual race. Woodruff first said that deep on the inside many Democrats believe that an edible arrangement could beat Donald Trump. And then she made the most important statement on the panel all program.
“And this is part of the difference between the Elizabeth Warren/Bernie Sanders message and the Joe Biden message,” said Woodruff. “Biden is arguing that Trump is the problem. Sanders, Warren, some of the other progressive candidates are arguing that Trump is a symptom of a larger problem.”
Too many Democrats want to play it safe. When we play it safe we lose. When we go outside of the box and let the people know we understand the problem and will work towards fixing it we win, read Barack Obama. Our problems are profound and only attacking them head-on without fear will give people a reason to try something else.
