Amateur Hour in the Democrat Primaries

The Original Amateur Hour was an American radio and television program in the 1940s that had similarities to the Democrat Primary. It was a popular show as its copycat television shows such as American Idol have been in recent years. Most of the Amateur Hour’s nascent contestants went down in flames, deservingly so, but a few of the winners went on to have success such as Gladys Knight and Pat Boone.

It’s amateur hour on the 2020 election cycle with many of the Democrat candidates having disqualified themselves by their personal lives (lack of character), or insane, inane, and inept political positions they have espoused.

Former Texas Congressman Robert O’Rourke (known as “Beto”) did diddlysquat in Congress and lost his recent senatorial race to Senator Ted Cruz. O’Rourke was arrested for burglary and leaving the scene of an accident in the 1990s. He is known for writing erotic verses about cows, and eating dirt after his loss to Ted Cruz. (I would have eaten crow or humble pie, but not dirt.) Beto fed his wife avocado telling her it was feces. That says much about him and his wife. 

Evidently, Beto thinks of himself as a wit and he may be half right. He supports abolishing the Electoral College, packing the Supreme Court, and will consider reparations. He has apologized for many zany and dumb statements, even for being born.

Joe Biden, considered the frontrunner, is almost sure he will run in 2020 but Joe has decades of heavy baggage from plagiarism to historical incompetence to aggressive dealings with girls and women. Joe is known as “Handsy” and “Creepy Uncle Joe.” The Gawker website published photos of what it called, “groping moments.” The leftist media usually does not call him to account but instead, Joe is said to be “adorable” and a “classic Irish politician.”

Joe is also careless with his unscripted remarks telling an Indian-American man, "You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking." Joe has apologized for some of his dumb statements and for being a male but not for being born, as Beto did.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is a front runner, although, at his age, he will be limited how fast and how far he will “run.” However, everyone knows he will continue running to the left.  Bernie told his supporters via email, "Our campaign is about transforming our country,” but that’s what scares me. He would abolish ICE. He wants a free America transformed into a socialist state such as Laos, Venezuela, or Cuba. Bernie does not admit that a socialist is a Communist without a gun.

Senator Cory Booker is a first-term unmarried senator from New Jersey adamantly trying to convince his critics that he is not “gay.”  He proves it by dating a high-profile beauty. Booker supports Medicare For All, the Green New Deal, abortion, LGBTQ rights, gun control, and would pack the Supreme Court - with progressives.

Senator Kamala Harris was Attorney General of California and has the reputation of sleeping her way to the top of the heap. She was openly the mistress of Willie Brown, former mayor of San Francisco. Kamala lied about smoking weed in college while listening to the “music” of Snoop Dogg and Tupac. It was untrue because Harris graduated college many years before their albums were released. She would pack the Supreme Court and consider reparations.
