15. Here's what I am looking for? Can you pack a stadium full of people today? Without Beyonce or Bruce Springsteen opening up for you. Because it is my belief that if you are not already that popular RIGHT NOW, you can't beat Trump. Period.
16. The 1st factor a candidate needs to defeat Trump is a huge social media following. The 2nd is the ability to pack a stadium full of people TODAY, without an opening act. The 3rd factor is this candidate has to pose a STRONG contrast in character/personality to Donald Trump
17. The Democratic candidate in 2020 MUST contrast with Donald Trump. They must be a person of impeccable integrity. They must be known for decency and compassion. They must be seen as generous and inspirational. No corruption.
18. Lastly, the Democratic candidate in 2020 must have a demonstrated history of being able to organize people on the national level. It would help if they have a real presence in all 50 states and know how to organize and mobilize people in practical ways.
19. In summary, here are the 4 factors needed to defeat Trump. a. A huge social media following b. A deeply devoted base of support - enough to pack stadiums c. A strong contrast in personality & character to Trump d. Experience with organizing on the national level
20. I believe just 3 people have the 4 factors to defeat Trump easily. Others could still win, but these 3 people would crush him. A. Oprah B. Michelle Obama C. Bernie Sanders Biden could win. Booker, Harris, Warren, Gillibrand could win Oprah, Michelle, Bernie would crush it
21. I agree with every single argument that "we don't need another celebrity." But 2020 is not normal. The person does not have to be a celebrity per se, but to defeat Trump, to win back the news cycle, will take very unique factors that only a few people have It's where we are
22. End of thread. We must not treat running against Trump like it's a normal thing. He's not normal. How he dominates the news is not normal. Defeating him will require a different approach. We could perhaps go back to normal down the road. But we're not there yet.
Bernie Sanders
with TULSI GABBARD as his VP running mate!
I’m not generally crazy about the idea of non-politicians running, but all of this describes Oprah to a tee. Plus, she is smart enough to surround herself with people who could really make her administration successful.
The true reason why #Trump can will in 2020 is because more than 50% of white voters support him and whites comprise more than 50% of the voters. That’s the uncomfortable truth.
Not many will have that now. But perhaps there’s a dark horse candidate like Obama. Oprah isn’t the answer.
So does that mean we are only left with Bernie or Oprah? I don't think Biden would fit the description.
Go back to elections since at least Kennedy v Nixon and the more charismatic candidate wins POTUS.
Filling a stadium is no measure of one’s popularity. Also, politicians do astro-turf campaign meetings. So this is all about strategy
you're describing Oprah or the Rock.
