BILL SCHER: How Does a Straight White Male Democrat Run for President? “Very carefully.“

CNN’s demographic number cruncher Ron Brownstein noted recently that the percentage of the Democratic primary electorate who are women, nonwhite voters and—“the most liberal component” of the party—college-educated white voters are all on the rise. The 2016 Democratic primary electorate was 58 percent women, 38 percent nonwhite voters and 37 percent college-educated white voters, all numbers that could be bigger in 2020, and strongly suggest a hospitable environment for candidates who embody a diverse America.

Does this mean that Democratic Party voters are so obsessed with identity politics that they are shutting straight white men out of the party? No. Who have been the top two candidates in nearly every primary poll? Not just two straight white males, but geriatric ones: Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.

I had no idea that Democratic primary voters were so biased against Candidates of Color and Whatnot. Perhaps the DNC should replace all that sloppy campaigning and voting with an intersectional candidate olympics and be done with it.
