My money is on Klobuchar pulling it out and getting the Democrap nomination. I see large numbers of people not able to bring themselves to vote for a gay guy (especially black people, who have a strong prejudice against homosexuality); The image of President Pete, kissing his First Husband, escorting him at gala White House events, etc., just seems too weird.
ReplyDeleteAnd people likewise are probably still too squeamish to go full-bore for a self-declared socialist. Like homosexuality, for a high-visibility, high-level politician coming out of the socialist closet is ill-advised during a campaign.
Klobuchar checks an important identity-politics box: She has a vagina, and SJWs and Progressives want a vagina in the White House.
