Of course, it is ludicrous to discriminate against a candidate for being a woman. I said earlier that the democratic male image is in crisis. If that can be countered with an appropriate candidate, we may be able to earn back many voters in the working middle class.
Senator Ted Kennedy told Obama that he should delay his run, not because of his opinion of Barack, but due to social dynamics in the short term. I was never happier when Obama won that I bought sparkling wine. However, it created an impetus for the low-education voters to eventually follow Trump.
Obama did not have the long vision of Ted Kennedy. He did not even see the ideological bent of Donald Trump. I may not be a fount of wisdom or have the long vision of Kennedy, but turning a social corner is best done when there will be a minimum of blowback.
Perhaps a democratic Joe Rogan does not exist but there is still a need for a vital democratic face.
