The second night of the debates are over, and now we all know that people will start to drop out soon.
I would hope that we get down to 10 Democratic candidates by October, but I still think that might be too optimistic.
And what does all of this mean?
I admit that I am an “Anyone Who Can Beat Trump” voter. I would even take another Republican.
I will also admit that I think Democrats have apologized for far too long that they are liberal and have grand ideas. Those days must come to an end.
In my lifetime, it has felt like my choices have been either the party that sticks up for the rich guy, or the party that is sorry if sticking up for the poor guy offends you.
On another note, there seemed to be some hub-bub from pundits about the candidates attacking each other, and how that will be detrimental later in the campaign against Trump. Two things on that. First, since when did Trump need facts or help attacking rival politicians? Like Trump is taking notes or thinking through his attacks for maximum impact. Second, I think most pundits are thinking about the 2020 election as if they were fighting in 2012. They are bringing the wrong tools to the gun fight, and most them are walking into it with wet spaghetti. Reagan’s 11th Commandment doesn’t exist anymore, and voters who pay attention to these debates have come to expect politicians to attack.
When this is all said and done, the majority of voters are really looking for a candidate who will validate their feels. Then they will worry about details.
