CNN’s Ana Cabrera kicked off a recent town hall meeting by
telling 2020 Democratic presidential candidate and current New York Mayor Bill
de Blasio: “you are really tall.” Cabrera noted that, if elected, de Blasio
would become the “tallest president ever,” his 6’ 5” height besting Abraham
Lincoln by an inch. She then, somewhat cheekily, said to Mayor Bill: “How is
that height advantage working out for you?” (de Blasio received the support of only
one percent of likely Democratic voters in the latest Fox News poll).
De
Blasio responded: “Remember, the taller candidate has won every general
election for president, but I think three times only. There’s only three
exceptions in the history of the republic. So if you want to get rid of Donald
Trump, choose
the tallest candidate.” Of course, de Blasio is the tallest candidate among
the veritable plethora of 2020 Democratic presidential aspirants, one inch
taller than former Texas congressman Beto O’Rourke. (President Trump is 6’ 3”).
So, de
Blasio says to “Choose the tallest candidate” if you want to get rid of Donald
Trump. This is fascinating when one considers that Bernie Sanders is
essentially urging voters to “choose the reddest candidate” if they want to rid
themselves of Trump, while Kamala Harris and Cory Booker are asking those same
voters to choose the blackest candidate. Moreover, Andrew Yang is pleading with
voters to choose the most Asian candidate at the same time Mike Gravel is
imploring folks to choose the oldest…and therefore wisest candidate. Marianne
Williamson is attempting to persuade people to choose the most new-agey
candidate, while Beto O’Rourke appears to be begging people to “choose the most
insane candidate.”
Elizabeth
Warren had earlier attempted to define herself as the candidate with the most
Native-American blood, but test results show Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong and the
Pillsbury Doughboy all had more tribal blood in them then Pocahontas possesses.
This has caused Warren to demand citizens choose the oldest female
candidate. Pete Buttigieg is imploring voters to choose the gayest candidate,
etc., etc.
Oddly
enough, the Democratic candidates never ask voters to choose the most
intelligent, most patriotic, or “most American” candidate. As late as the fall
of 2001, most Americans were proud of their heritage and the country was fairly
unified in many respects. It is a far different-- and sadder-- story today,
however, due to progressives’ limitless ability to be offended and their
unceasing demand for “intersectionality.”
E Unum
Pluribus. Out of one comes many. And this divided house cannot stand much
longer.
