For nearly three years, Democrats were certain they would eat President Trump’s lunch in 2020. The 25 dreamers seeking the party’s nomination are testament to the conviction that one of them definitely would be the next president.
Oops.
Suddenly, after just two debates, the Nervous Nellies are climbing the walls. Many Dems are worried that the battle is too nasty and too negative, and that the front-runner, Joe Biden, is looking awfully wobbly.
Equally worrisome, Biden’s strongest challengers, Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, are leaning so far left that their appeal could be limited to the most radical elements. Some of their supporters are even attacking the sainted Barack Obama.
What to do? My modest suggestion: Panic!
All three top contenders are looking like losers in a general election. Here’s why, starting with Biden.
Years ago, in a discussion about how hard it is to get elected president, the late Democratic Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan offered an example. Bob Dole, his friend and Republican colleague, was so perfectly qualified and would have been chosen as prime minister in a heartbeat if America had a parliamentary system, Moynihan insisted.
The discussion took place after Dole was crushed by Bill Clinton in the 1996 presidential race. Dole was his party’s grand old man when he got the nomination, having been in the House and Senate for a combined 35 years.
He was the vice-presidential nominee in 1976, when Jimmy Carter defeated Gerald Ford, and sought the top spot in 1980 and 1988 before dropping out.
A World War II hero who was seriously wounded and awarded two Purple Hearts, Dole finally got his turn at age 73, but lost in a landslide.
Dole, now 96, is long retired, but his political doppelgänger — Biden — seeks one last hurrah.
