Let me break down how the Democrats are gonna completely clutch the US 100%. It started today with 2 simultaneous things >Odeja already starting candidacy at the earliest point possible >Clinton Hints at starting candidacy but waits while she can to get donations until closer to the democratic primary
This is important. While you think the democrats haven't learned from 2016, this move is literally a complete inversion of the things that helped them lose the centrist and rust belt support that was crucial in 2016. And I'll explain. Odeja is: >Hispanic but Castizo (has Spanish last name on ballot and the most appealing kind of hispanic to all demographics) >Grandson of an Illegal Mexican >Has been supporting Legal Weed since day one. >Has a macho-straight shooter military man look >Supported BERNIE in the primary (this is important) >A Veteran with a number of accolades to his name and a creator of numerous local outreach non-profits >Very mild-mannered, military in demeanor and rhetoric What is happening here is they are creating the person who will be the ultimate underdog in image to win the democratic primary to completely remove any notion of internal corruption that is felt from 2016, and have an individual who was will be untouchable to trump and win favor in a number of Trump's/Republican demographics
The was this is gonna run out is simple >Clinton is conveyed to be the Corporate elite boogeyman looking to take the DNC again >Beto comes in as a good candidate but lack the power to take center stage (he will be set up to be the VP on the ticket) >Ojeda gets smeared in the media and looks like everyone is against him a la Bernie and Ron Paul >Ojeda comes out in a surprise superdelegate majority to win as the underdog of the DNC, saving it and looking to bring unity to the party and nation from a REAL american hero >Goes up against trump's bombastic style and completely edges it is calm demeanor while falling back on his niche status of things to pull heartstrings on both the left and right
>Centrists afraid of Trump's personality are won >All hispanics are won >Military/Neocons are won >Berniebros are won BACK >Good cut of libertarians are won
The entire thing is a niche picture perfect exploitive candidate to win back the US for the DNC by all demographics to remove all negative notions and actions of the last 3 years from Antifa all the way to Bernie getting screwed over and Kavanaugh by having a messiah immigrant vet win it all "against all odds" despite this obviously being set up from today onward
This actually makes a lot of sense. $20 the media is just gonna recycle these names nonstop like this while completely downplaying any positives from the trade war, trade deals, tax cuts, or even Korean peace.
Trump's only move to outflank this is to legalize weed federally.

It doesn't matter how many people vote republican. Democrats count the votes, democrats choose the future.
It's over.

That didn't stop them from losing in 2016, but bernie and the rust belt did. Now they are completely covering all weak spots and making new strong demographics. This will invigorate what little hispanics actually vote and pull middle america back into the dems favor
This can work in their favor. If Odeja comes off as being contrary to the general democratic party's anti-gun rhetoric it will make him seem more like an outsider and underdog winning like trump did. Also his military status makes his dialouge on arms more genuine in the publics eyes.
