Further Thoughts

Some days ago we wrote that if Hillary loses, she will be the last white candidate nominated for the presidency by the Democrats. Upon further reflection, that is merely a continuation of a trend that arguably began eight years ago.

John Kerry was not only the last white male the Democrats nominated but very likely the last straight white male they will nominate going forward. As a collection of "victim groups," the Democrats will gravitate toward nominating a member of one (or more) of their groups. Perhaps their ideal candidate would be a gay minority single mother.

We live in interesting times.
