Democrat Strategists Game Out 2028 — and the Subtext Won't Make Kamala Happy

That's sounding kind of racist, guys. 

Here's what Michelle Obama said. 

JUST IN: Top Democrats are debating whether their best bet to take back the Presidency in 2028 is nominating a “straight, white, Christian man,” according to Axios.

They're concerned about the losses with Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.  

• "There is a fear — and I actually don't think this is just a grass-tops fear, I think you'd hear it from voters, too — that a woman has now lost twice," a national Democratic strategist told Axios.
• "So not discounting the hundreds of other times men have lost … but is it the right thing to nominate a woman?"

Or maybe, and now work with me on this one, don't put forward horrible candidates? Maybe don't put forth a historically unpopular candidate with a lot of baggage like Hillary, or a woman who can't put a competent sentence together, like Kamala?

Harris already revealed how problematic this identity politics approach was when she revealed why she didn't select her top choice, then-Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. 

• He "would have been an ideal partner — if I were a straight, white man," Harris said.
• "But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man," she said. "Part of me wanted to say, 'Screw it, let's just do it.' But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk."

So winning was more important than their alleged principles. And that's the Democrat Party in a nutshell - any principle is subordinate to them getting/holding power.

I think they're fundamentally wrong with this assessment, but that's what happens when they see everything through the lens of race/sex. The American people had no problem voting for Barack Obama over a "straight, white, Christian male." Twice, even after he demonstrated he was not a great candidate in his first term. 

These Democrats want to see racism where there is none to try to explain their own failures, instead of dealing with those failures and the inherent flaws in their policies and their candidates. 

But if they stuck with this thought of needing to put forth a "straight, white Christian male," that would have them jettisoning most of their candidates who aren't straight, white, or Christian males, including Harris. The latest Harvard-Harris poll has Kamala leading the 2028 field by far at this point.

Now I think that's hilarious that anyone would run Kamala again. She would lose so badly. But if she's the choice of the Democrat voters for the 2028 nomination, then so be it. 

Are the Democrat powers-that-be going to try to block her out because they think she can't win because she's black? Again, can we say racist? Also, didn't we see this play in 2024 when they tossed Joe Biden to the side, realizing he couldn't win because of his cognitive issues and being a lousy candidate? They replaced him with Kamala, who didn't get one primary vote for the top job. Can we talk about "No Kings"? 

Bottom line, here's a simple thought. Put forward a good candidate with good policies. 

That's their problem. They can't do it.
