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.
Um… I don’t think Oprah fits all 4, so that leaves… the Obamas? Michelle would be awesome, but probably doesn't even want the job…
Great article. Whether we like it not, to beat Trump we need the votes from rich corporate folks & POC. Michele Obama or Oprah can do that not Sanders or Warren. We will get sanity & maybe deal w/some racism but not really w/growing income inequality.
For the last one, I can see Oprah achieving it, but I don't think it has been demonstrated, yet.
Naming Bernie again.
