A Troika of AARP-Eligibles

Blogger Lawrence Person puts a lot more effort into his Battleswarm than I do into COTTonLINE. He’s done a series of posts called the “Democratic Presidential Clown Car Update” which Stephen Green likes at Instapundit.

In the current edition Person cites the findings of 7 well-thought-of polls, six of these find only three Democrat aspirants poll in double digits: Biden, Warren, and Sanders. In the seventh Harris barely sneaks into the group with 10%.

If you were a betting person, you’d guess one of those three will be the party nominee. Think of it, an old Commie, a not-young fake minority, and a foggy elder from a tiny state. The party that claims to speak for youth and minorities can only come up with a troika of white AARP-eligibles.

Can a successful-but-flamboyant President beat any of those three? Again, a betting person would certainly think so. It isn’t as if any of the three is more “suave” or “polished” than Trump.
