The Democratic Race in New Hampshire - Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

A Century ago, well it seems like that, Beto was the golden boy, the man to take on POTUS, well he seems to have dropped to POLITICAL EARTH.  The fresh face and with a good war record is Mayor Pete, he also happens to be gay, that works in the Democratic field.  The Democrats could have the first openly married gay as their candidate.  On the plus side, Mayor Pete has managed a big enough town, thus has management experience, he has served in Afghanistan, and comes across as clever without being cocky.   The downside is the fact that he talking liberal talking points, wants to get rid of the electoral college etc.  The UK Guardian had scathing article about him, in essence the charge that was thrown at Gary Hart in 1988, Where is the beef?, the the Guardian article suggested he was a empty suit with no firm ideas.   In essence he does not pass the liberal purity test, liberal since birth.   It is expected that former Vice - President Joe Biden will get in to the race on Wednesday, it is about time, Sanders is starting to look like the leading candidate, he leads in the polls. Biden will have to hit the ground running, he needs to spend a lot of time in Iowa and New Hampshire, being a former VP does not cut it, he has to re-sell his brand name, and move the political talk to the centre, he has to make it clear if Sanders is the nominee then Democrats will lose in 2020, no way in God's earth will the US vote for a Democratic Socialist in 2020.  It would be another four years of Trump.
