Linda Sarsour 2020?

[Suburbia]

Can Linda Sarsour, a New York Palestinian activist be a dark horse presidential contender in 2020? She is very far-left, she was a prominent Bernie Sanders 2016 for president supporter, and despite her baggage, with some statements made about Israel, NYPD, can she make a credible run for president? She would be 40 years old in 2020.

[Confused Democrat]

lol NO

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

President in 2020? No, she's a nobody. She's definitely a legit candidate to rise through the ranks and gain elected office as anti-semitism becomes more and more acceptable within the Democrats, though.

[Devout Centrist]

Ignoring her bullsh*t about Israel, she's way too left wing and hasn't held office.

Then again, that didn't stop Trump.

[Suburbia]

How about John Doe 2020? Please stop with all these "potential" candidates none of them have a chance at being elected.

Um, she's a big deal in American politics. She's a kingmaker in NY. I won't underestimate her if I were you.

She is very much not a "kingmaker". She's one of many beneficiaries of the De Blasio regime, and her gravy train will come to a crashing halt with his coming indictment.

We'll see about that. It's possible. She may be running for a City Council seat in Southern Brooklyn, a conservative-leaning enclave.

[Pericles]

If she's the Democratic nominee, the Democrats are toast.

[Beet]

She's great. I'm with SARSOUR.

[Progressive]

Lol. She's gonna run for City Council anyway

She isn't powerful at all. She wouldn't win. Stop posting potential candidate stuff like this.

No one thought Trump would win in December 2012 did they? They way how politics is going now, anything can happen. Ellison/Sarsour or Sarsour/Ellison is a strong possibility, if the Democrats want to go the anti-establishment wing.

"No one thought Trump would win in December 2012 did they? So [insert anyones name here] could win!"

This is basically your argument, and it's a stupid one.

[catographer]

Lol an Ellison-Sarsour ticket would win exactly 4 states: CA, HI, MA, VT. Plus DC.

I don't think she could possibly be a candidate in 2020, but dismissing someone because they're Muslim, says more about you as a person than about her.

[Suburbia]

I'll let the leftists on here salivate over her because she won't be elected to any other office other than the city council.

Bro, if she wins the City Council seat, in a Italian/Irish/Norwegian enclave, it shows that she could do wonders with the country. I disagree with her on some issues.

She could be a very compelling candidate. I have some disagreements with her. She may be a little too radical.

[Horus]

Absolutely, she'd crush him in a 45 state landslide. California and New York would be 70%+ D. South Dakota would be very close.

[Devout Centrist]

This thread is stupid but she could absolutely be a serious candidate for president. Not in 2020 but maybe in 2024 after she actually wins an office. Being a Muslim is like +20 bonus points in a Democratic primary. The problem is though there aren't a lot of Muslim politicians, as there just aren't a lot of Muslims, and most of the ones we do have are too fresh off the boat to be taken seriously as politicians. As soon as someone comes along who is Muslim, can speak good English, and hasn't said anything more than vaguely pro-terrorism, the Democrats will beg them to run for president.

Please stop.

Bronz, someone like Sarsour could never win a Democratic presidential primary. The Democratic party is not as conflicted or as broken as the GOP was/is, which is what let the Trump phenomenon happen in the first place.

Sarsour would be a compelling candidate for Brooklyn Borough President, or City Council and maybe Mayor in 2021, but anything higher is not happening.

Ah yes, I remember the massive hubub where everyone wanted Keith Ellison* and Andre Carson to run for President.

*DNC chair is not even a remotely comparable office.

M'kay. You go on thinking that.

[JGibson]

I agree with a lot of what Linda Sarsour says; however, she isn't a viable Presidential contender.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     LOLNO. We would probably see the third-party vote break 10% in an election between her and Trump.

[Gass3268]

No, but she'd make a good future ambassador to Israel.
