19. Adlai Stevenson got hammered twice.

Hubert Humphrey got hammered. George McGovern was obliterated. Mondale ran with a woman and was massacred. Bu$h, Sr. decisively defeated Dukakis -- a smart, articulate liberal governor similar to Buttigieg. Gore ran with a Jew and lost to the $hrub. $hrub beat Kerry. The Turd beat two extremely intelligent and well qualified women, Hillary and Kamala, a black woman married to a Jew. It's pretty damn clear that for the past 75+ historical years that this country does not elect "liberals;" it does not elect people who have funny names; and, it does not elect 'tickets' which have women candidates on those tickets. Given that indisputable history -- it is damn difficult to imagine that this country, in this Fascist time, is going to now somehow elect an openly 'gay' man who is married to another 'gay' man and that all of the Bible Thumpers; Catholics; Evangelicals; Pentacostal assholes; Baptists and all other assorted 'religious' whackos are now going to somehow vote for a 'gay' guy with a name like 'Buttigieg."
