Go Left !

Back when I was a soccer coach, I did not know much about soccer, but it was apparent to me that a winning strategy was to force the opposing teams to go to their left. Now granted that it was only youth soccer and at that time I had seen only about ten to fifteen soccer games in my entire life, but this philosophy worked. Keep them out of the middle and guard them so that they had no other option. Force them to go to their left, and the further to their left, the better! Back then this strategy made sense because the vast majority of youth players could not, and thus did not use their left foot. “Force them to the left” was a winning strategy.

Today, “Force them to the left” is also a winning strategy . . . in politics. If the Republicans can subtly encourage the Democrats to go to the left with their 2020 presidential candidate (the further to the left, the better), the better chance the Republicans will have to win in 2020. I say this because I do not think that the country is ready for a far-left president. Think McGovern (1972). Think Mondale (1984). Think Dukakis (1988). Think Kerry ( 2004). Obama won in 2008 because of his charisma and his skin color, not his politics. Thus far, each one of the Democrats who have thrown his/her hat into the ring for 2020 are way on the left side of the middle, and we should be rooting them on.

Cory Booker . . . “You, the man!”

Kamala Harris . . . “You go, girl!”

Elizabeth Warren . . . “Don’t give up, Kemosabe!”

Beto O’Rourke . . . “Just because you lost in Texas, doesn’t mean anything!”

Hillary Clinton . . . “The second time will be a charm!”

You get the idea. Whenever you are speaking to your liberal friends, tell them that those on the right are really afraid of these far left candidates. Write letters-to-the-editor, using fictitious names, that suggest that only a far left candidate has a chance to win. If there is enough hoopla for the far left candidates, those centrist Democrats, that may actually have a chance to win in 2020, will not get into the primary voting fracases. Hopefully, with this advice, you now be able to maximize your role in the upcoming 2020 election, and we can all go out there and win one for the Trumper!
