A year after Obama, Dems still looking for replacement
By Amie Parnes - 02/02/18 05:59 AM EST

More than a year after former President Obama left the White House, the Democratic party is still trying to fill the void and find a leader who can take on President Trump.

“There's a definite yearning for 'Who's my next great love?’” Democratic strategist Patti Solis Doyle said in describing her party. “And the problem is we're not really loving anyone we see. So we're looking for someone we're not expecting.”

When Oprah Winfrey delivered a powerful speech at the Golden Globes last month, she provided a jolt of excitement to a party still reeling from a stunning 2016 election defeat. And some Democrats fell in love with the idea that the television personality could become their next standard bearer.

The have a weak bench.    So weak they trotted out a Dead Kennedy's kid in hopes of a return to Camelot.  All they got was  Dennis the Peasant.

Wow. You mean to tell me that Kennedy's lame and poorly delivered speech that he gave with drool on his face isn't going to cut it even with the DEMS?    :shrug:   Such a shame!   :silly: :silly:

Yep.  Apparently Camelot ain't working anymore.  And now Michelle is putting her toe in the water.  Hope she runs.

Finding someone “clean” is going to be a tough job for them.

Nothing new about that - look at the 2008 trifecta of lightweights - 0bama, Edwards, and somebody's wife. You'd have to duct tape them all together to come up with half the experience of even a Dennis Kucinich...
