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 #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.

Those policies must be a clear alternative to oligarchic-corporate kleptocracy: a massive restoration of the safety net, jobs guarantee, and a bold transition to a green economy: make the contrast stark and electrify new voters. This must start in 2018 races

Yeah, like someone who had Tad Devine as chief stategist for their campaign, a guy who has been connected to Manafort. Don't think this would be the right person for 2020. Just sayin'.

They must have integrity, principles, values, must stand for actual policies, etc. That's like finding a needle in a haystack.

The candidate must be able to respond to verbal insults, almost have the skill of playing the dozens in a classy way! This is a must. Otherwise, s/he will look weak, stupid and boring like the candidates looked in 2016! Remember John Kennedy's sharp wit!

Every candidate will be a clear contrast to Trump. And while I hope for honesty, integrity, etc... we've certainly seen that none of those qualities make a damn difference to Republican voters.
