Former San Francisco mayor and California State Assembly speaker Willie Brown threw shade at his ex-girlfriend, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), and the other contenders for the Democratic Partyâ€s presidential nomination in 2020, writing Saturday that none of them can beat President Donald Trump.
In his weekly column in the San Francisco Chronicle, Brown wrote:
Make no mistake, President Trumpâ€s State of the Union address was the kickoff for his 2020 re-election campaign, and so far Iâ€ve yet to see a Democrat who can beat him.
…
[T]he overnight polling after the speech showed that once again, he connected with voters, at least enough voters to make him a 2020 favorite.
You canâ€t say the same for the Democratic contenders. They all have impressive credentials, winning personalities and positive messages, but none displays the “people personality†that our media-savvy president has mastered.
…
Letâ€s just hope Democrats can figure out that we need to go beyond the left and motivate voters across the board, just as midterm congressional campaigns did under Nancy Pelosiâ€s leadership.
Brown acknowledged last month that he had dated Harris and given her jobs that helped her early political career.
Harris is running on a slate of left-wing policies, including “Medicare for All†and the so-called “Green New Deal,†which she embraced last week even though it calls for radical socialist measures such as paying Americans who are “unwilling†to work.
She has also said she would be willing to “eliminate†private health insurance, a position supported by only 13% of Americans.
She might be a leftist loon, but ol' Willie had himself a fine piece of booty back in the day.
