Trump is a VERY formidable, nebulous political opponent and will not be easy to beat in 2020. None of the traditional rules apply to him. And almost none of the traditional rules for who the Democrats choose to defeat him apply. // A THREAD on how to select his 2020 opponent

TRAIT #3: The candidate who defeats Donald Trump must electrify young people. Hillary Clinton was the first Democratic nominee in decades who was not also the #1 choice of young people. Bernie won all people under 30 across every Demographic. But Hillary got the nomination.

TRAIT #4: The candidate who defeats Donald Trump must present a clear, stark contrast to Donald Trump himself. They must have integrity, principles, values, must stand for actual policies, etc. A candidate who muddies the water with Trump will be very problematic.

TRAIT #5: The candidate who defeats Donald Trump must have a proven record of fundraising. This will be the most expensive, consequential presidential campaign in modern American history. The candidate cannot rely on the Democratic Party itself to get this right for them.

I'll close there. I have dozens of other things I look for in a presidential candidate that all deal with policy. But the 5 traits I just shared are what I strongly believe we need in a candidate to defeat Trump. VERY FEW people, sadly, fit that bill. 3 to 4 people.

I feel the only two people who can do this right now would be Michelle Obama or Joe Biden.

@ShaunKing understanding this part of selecting a POTUS is weighted on "The Electoral College". Most times the word "electrical" is used. Please do a thread on this. Blessings!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Winning the electoral college is about having a strong and well funded local organization of volunteers and activists in critical districts working tirelessly to get voters to the polls. Hilary's organization failed to do that. All politics is local.

Get rid of the old play books farting dust... tell the cronies their legacy is realized when they step back and let the future own itself.

The EC was bought/sold. There’s no more integrity there.

Not if one has Russia's help. Remember: Hillary would have won if Russia hasn't attacked our county with cyber warfare and assets placed all over the country. This becomes clearer every day.
