Reminds me of 2016. Jim Webb, former Secretary of the Navy was in the first Dem debate. He came across as a rational, capable individual of not only Incredibly solid experience in managing people and systems, but seemed to be of very high character. I remember him early on before the debate going onto Hannity and he was as impressive as hell. Unfortunate for him, he also showed his hand that he was not the typical partisan hack candidate. That was all the left needed to know, he was out after the first debate. Look who they chose instead. Two elections before, they had chosen a man in Barack Obama, who had next to no political experience, not a SMIDGEN of business experience and scant basic basic work history aside from community organization, a law clerk one summer and some kind of job in an ice cream place when he was a kid. I wish I was making this up! The left turned him into some kind of messiah and ignored his radical past and long time associations with absolutely abhorrent people. This go round, they picked aN aging candidate who Is clearly in mental decline and also has a ton of recent political baggage including a rape charge. Next, the left will pick a VP candidate who is probably equally as puzzling. The Dems are like the watching the Lord of the Flies, where they are the kids who don’t have adults to supervise them and they get drunk on power and ran amok.
But obama was PERFECT for them, because he's blackish and actually really good at reading from a teleprompter with a sincere sounding presentation most of the time; and he had halfway decent speech writers who kept him from sounding too extremely communist and stuff the way they all do now!
He could still appeal to centrists somehow, despite a total lack of real qualifications, because DIVERSITY!
In retrospect, the dynamics of those campaigns were interesting. After all, HRC tried to railroad Barry. Was it one Deep State power center competing against another Deep State power center? It brings up a lot of questions about the actual composition of the enemy -- how many groups are there, how they are aligned, how they work with each other, how they disagree sometimes.
