Trump’s chief strategist, Steve Bannon, asked consultants to scour the backgrounds of four outspoken Democrats — Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, two sources close to the administration said....She's 67.
The White House believes both Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren are “too old” to mount a serious campaign three years from now, sources said....
“Elizabeth Warren is 100 years old....” the second source said....
Trump’s political team is also counting out [NY Governor Andrew] Cuomo and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, because they’ve been tainted by corruption probes....So 67 is too old and 50 is too young. Noted.
[Kirsten] Gillibrand, 50, has been raising her profile thanks to a series of “no” votes on Trump’s Cabinet picks, but White House officials view her as “too young” and believe she lacks the network in the party to run a nationwide campaign, the sources said.

* I'm steeling myself for all the born-lame jokes about how hard it is to see in 2020. The headline at the link is "Trump’s White House eyes potential foes in 2020 election." Did they write "eyes" because it will be 2020? No 20/20 jokes. I'm pre-banning them. It's bad enough to have to plunge back into another campaign season.

That is hilarious. Thank you for brightening my morning.
I once again recommend Thomas Frank's book "Listen, Liberal: Or, Whatever Happened to the Party of the People? as, perhaps, the most accurate and damning of the analyses of what's happened to the Democratic party. An accurate indictment by a most liberal liberal. I hope the Dems don't have an answer to his indictment, but for us "rabid right wingers" it is an excellent piece of work.

Schooling Mr Cook, is never a waste of time. Why, he's smarter now, then when he woke up this morning.

I appreciate your effort, but I doubt it.
"Robert Cook said...
No, she claimed, I believe, that it had been family lore that they had the blood of Indigenous Americans in their family line. Do you know this isn't true? If you had been told something about your family history while growing up, would you have decided to research it yourself to find out if it was true or not? I have marginal (or less) interest in my family ancestry--unlike my father, who spent decades looking into it--and I can certainly imagine accepting family stories about our heritage without bothering to look into any of them.
Now, if Warren completely lied and knew all along she had no native ancestry, that's extremely disappointing."
I would like to take credit for this prediction, but that was like predicting the sun will rise in the east.
God I hope the Democrats fun lieawatha. Hoisting the Left with their own obsession of "one drop" identity politics will be so fun.
Honestly I'm not sure we make it to 2020 without the Left starting a hot civil war (and losing, bigly).
I have a college classmate from South Dakota who then, and now, looks like the picture book Sioux warrior chief. One day he got pissed off about people claiming he was part Sioux and said " God damn it I am Polish through and through and this Indian business is horseshit" A great laugh!
Bannon would be concerned about any of those people, least of which Cuban.
totally agree. they should have actually been redistributing wealth instead of just talking about it.
I agree. let's start with you...the movers and repossessers will show up tomorrow. The homeless family will move into your living room over the weekend.
It will be someone they did Nazi coming.
seems like enough republicans and democrats are actively engaged in class warfare that we may actually get some wealth redistribution in the near future.
we may actually get some wealth redistribution in the near future.
How much of your wealth do I get...I need to start planning....
i guess it depends on who would be in charge amd how much wealth you habe in relation to me.
i guess it depends on who would be in charge amd how much wealth you habe in relation to me.
Exactly...income redistribution always means ...steal money from the rich and give it to me.....never, here take some of my wealth........

Do you have proof
Oh, you're so pretty, Bob. Where is your proof that GHWB flew in an SR-71 to deal with Khomeini? Where's your proof for the eight trillion assertions you make daily?
It's actually quite selfish of you, like a man who demands fellatio and refuses cunnilingus.
Myself, and others seemed to have answered Mr Cook's questions.
