Can we all agree that one of the things Republicans should not do is choose the 2020 Democratic nominee? There are many reasons why this should be the general rule, not the least of which is that Republicans have their own self-interests at heart.
Let's all also agree that after Steve Schmidt's rapid leap onto the Howard Schultz "bash Democrats" 2020 train, NeverTrumpers are untrustworthy and willing to sell their souls for a few bucks.
And, let's agree on this final point: Arguing that a woman is the best nominee should be based upon more than her outward presentation. Which is why this moment from George Will, where he argues that Amy Klobuchar is the best candidate (or Sherrod Brown, they're apparently interchangeable) is sexist, superficial, and absurd.
Will started with a Hillary Clinton 2016 bashfest, because of course it makes sense to bash the qualified woman for the huckster with the hairdo when looking toward the future.
"Now, if you have a bidding war among people trying to get to the left to please the outer shores of the Democratic Party's progressivism," Will warned, "abolish ICE, abolish the Electoral College, pack the Supreme Court, free college, $15 minimum wage, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, it's still possible to drive people back into the arms of Mr. Trump."
