We need an orator [View all]

Teddy Kennedy sans Chappiquidick or however the hell you spell it. Bernie has it, but he's too old. We know MAGA's weaknesses, or some of them--their racism and their misogyny--so we should keep them in mind. For instance, we've had two magnificent candidates for president, both of them defeated (I know; Hillary won the popular vote) and both of them women. We need MAGAs to see the light (which Trump is helping us do by his blatant mishandling of everything), so we need to ease them out of the cult.

It goes against all I believe in, but I think Democrats need to forget trying to elect a woman president for the time being. The misogyny even among some Democrats is deep.

Because of MAGA's racism, our spokesman should be white. Again, deplorable.

I can't think of anything else that will make them listen to us.
