Last two standing?-by emorejahongkongCan you imagine a more perfect role-player...• than Biden to suck up early attention, from media and donors, needed by semi-fresh mid-career vanilla centrist candidates?• than Buttigieg to look good compared with Biden’s ever-slower brain and looser mouth?• than Harris to highlight the weaknesses of un-vetted identity-centered candidates (campaign epitaph: “lost beyond the script”)?• than Booker to highlight that on-stage energy can’t cover up cowardice (visible in Booker’s apologetic/frightened face and body language each time he gently criticised Biden)?• than Warren to talk up Bernie’s platform to the Managerial-Professional Class (who would refuse to hear Bernie due to their grudge against him for the failures of Hillary and her backers in 2016 -- and 2008, 2009, 2003, 2000, etc.)• than Patrick to destroy Warren’s electability (as Ex-Governor poaching Warren's Massachusetts home-state and New Hampshire-overlapping media market)?• than Bloomberg to poach votes from Biden and Buttigieg by spending a fraction of his 50+ billion dollars to promote himself as “self-made 3-term Mayor who led NYC-Tri-State Metro Area’s bounce-back from 9/11” in contrast with:
· “Baby-faced baby Ivy Leaguer overwhelmed by racial politics of college town’s tiny electorate,” and· “Lifelong Senate grinner/gripper whose biggest ever leadership role was point-man for policy towards corrupt Ukraine, which, like China, over-paid his too-big-to-jail son.”
• than impeachment hearings highlighting:
· the Ukraine corruption of both Trump and Biden, and· the Military Industrial Intelligence Complex’s unapologetic defence of its right to decide foreign policy?
• than Bloomberg, as the likely last-standing major non-Bernie in Democratic primaries, to:
· nullify arguments that Bernie is too "old, "male," "White," "Jewish," "Northeastern," or "insensitive to identities" and· personify billionaires’ excessive influence over politics and media?
