The way Jaws reads her name, Gellibrand sounds a little like some
brand of grape spread. But I'm not going to stick my nose out on this
next election. Not after reading all the signs wrong in the last
presidential fiasco.
I think I'll stop right here. I'm in a funky mood and not feeling
very productive.
The System is broke and is crying for fixing. But all the "fixers"
are gone fishing.
Old Harry Truman once told reporters that he figured there were more
than a million American Men who could be president. The big puffed up
political cream puffs postured and pouted and snorted. How dare that
Haberdasher devalue our mighty presidency by such blasphemy as telling
the world that this great office could be handled by over a million
men.
So enter Donald Trump. Old Harry is chortling in his grave.

The gist of the above article is that Trump is hand picking Gellibrand as
his opponent for the 2020 presidential race. He may be a sleazy fascist but
evidentially not stupid. She is running from a very weak position. Other
than Obama and JFK senators don’t fare well in presidential elections their
voting record is always tough to explain off and congressional approval
ratings are at an all-time low. She is also a woman and women don’t fare
well in presidential races. She is from a Northeast blue state and they also
don’t fare well with the heartland and the southland. The fourth major
problem with her candidacy is that she has chosen Trump’s predatory behavior
as her flagship issue. As we just experienced in the Alabama election white
women have basically said they don’t care as long as the predator is a
republican. Another mystery card in the deck is what would happen if Trump
decides not to run for reelection? Could she even make a ripple with a
republican candidate that isn’t a predator or maybe even a female republican
candidate, Sarah Palin, Candalisa Rice, etc.? If I was a far right
republican and I wanted to pick an opponent she may be a good choice.
