…have correctly assessed the policy depth of the U.S. electorate.

Kudos.

All he has to do is play to the morons, and this he seems to have committed to. St. John of The Straight Talk Express must be very proud. I suppose we can hope he’s just whoring for votes, and won’t govern as a maniac.

We are so screwed.

Think about it. The Democrats have bet the farm on a woman or black candidate. Essentially, IMHO, they’ve ceded about 5% of the vote, overall, and in either’s case. Give or take, depending on geography. But 5% seems a very conservative estimate to me.

Why would that possibly fly the first time around? Can anyone give me an example of a similar thing occurring?

Update: What I mean but don’t seem to have the talent to produce on a screen, is that the level of change being expected of the American electorate is, to me, unlikely, because radical change of any kind, much less electing a woman or black guy, tends to come very slow, and typically requires some sacrificial lambs. My guess is that this Dem will be one, at this point in the campaign.

Which of course is meaningless with all this time left. It is a snapshot opinion, not an absolute prediction.

Also, I mean the math is bad unless the Dem proves to be vastly superior, intellectually and politically when the Dems finally pick one.
