MoDo Sees a No No

Once in a great while I link you to a Maureen Down column from the New York Times, here reprinted in the Irish Times so it's out from behind the NYT paywall. Sure, she hates our President, something he makes too easy for his enemies.

On the other hand, her topic today is that, based on what she saw onstage in Houston, the Democrats don't have anyone who can beat him. No kidding ... about either their 'performance' or her reaction thereto. See her conclusion about Houston:

There were a bunch of high-end, professional pols there and yet no one actually won it. Not a good sign. The candidates struggled to alchemise our exhaustion into excitement.

The three hours seemed endless, with two questions hanging over the night: “Can’t anybody here play this game?” and “Will the most beatable candidate in American history win twice?”

My answers to her two questions: No, and Probably.

Mimicking the creepy Mr. Rogers, I ask "Can you say charisma deficit?"
