    Shaun King Retweeted Conor Friedersdorf

    Any above average Democrat cannot beat Trump. Trump beat 17 Republicans. Then beat an incredibly qualified Democrat. Tim Kaine is the composite “above average Democrat.” Trump would mop the floor with him. Underestimate Trump at your own peril. He’s formidable.https://twitter.com/conor64/status/950245292187697152 …

    I disagree with this—Hillary Clinton was a much, much weaker candidate than Barack Obama, and she won the popular vote. Any above average Democrat should beat Donald Trump in 2020. https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/950243197707542529 …

        And I know as many will get angry or Attack me for saying this, but I would think @BernieSanders or @ninaturner have the BEST Chance to beat Trump, knowing Policy Matters, not about #IdentityPolitics, or Name reasons, that is my thoughts on this.

        I disagree with this. Trump is a man who fought dirty. He lied. Cheated. Stole and lied some more. HRC was brilliant and qualified. Sanders had a good message and was qualified. The DEMS were split and had every belief HRC had it in the bag and they stayed home. 1/

        This idea that Trump is formidable and perhaps some kind of evil genius or calculating tactician is simply false. He has spent his life failing. Bankruptcies and failures and decades of audits and lawsuits and divorces and embarrassment. 2016 was a huge & surprising loss. 2/

        The establishment Dems have blinders on. There is a new generation of Dems that want change, the status quo won't do.

        Thank you. The dem party of the 90s is no more. Too smart of a voting populous now. And FOR YEARS, dems have been, watered down repubs, as seen. If given shitty options for pres, young people won't show up. We're done with this charade game.

        He had a lot of help beating HRC, including, but not limited to voter suppression, gerrymandering, electronic voter fraud, James Comey, fake news, BERNIE.... @ShaunKing Democrats need to wake up and realize Republicans fight dirty.

        He didn't "beat 17 of them". Lots of votes got split because there were 17 and he was the oddball. Who is asking for Tim Kaine? Strawman.

        With Putin's help, a DNC run into the ground by an incompetent DWS, Hillary passing out and being off the campaign trail and Comey's letter re-opening the e-mail investigation, Trump may have seemed formidable.

        I agree, though I’d argue the risk isn’t as much about underestimating Trump as it is about overestimating the discernment of the American voter.
