Well, this is AWKWARD.
Willie Brown, former California Assembly Speaker doesn’t think ANY of the Democrats have what it takes to bring Trump down in 2020. Even his former “girlfriend.”
And just like that, a whole bunch of Republicans agree with Willie Brown for the first time ever.
According to the Washington Examiner:
Brown’s political analysis appeared in his San Francisco Chronicle column on Saturday in a piece titled “Bad news for Democrats — none of these candidates can beat Trump.” Brown admitted that not even his ex-girlfriend Sen. Kamala Harris of California could beat Trump in a race today.
“Harris got all the attention for playing prosecutor in chief, but her case against former Vice President Joe Biden boiled down in some ways to a ringing call for forced school busing. It won’t be too hard for Trump to knock that one out of the park in 2020,” Brown wrote.
Yikes. That’s gotta sting.
“Trump must have enjoyed every moment and every answer, because he now knows he’s looking at a bunch of potential rivals who are still not ready for prime time,” Brown concluded.
BINGO.
As for his relationship with Sen. Harris? He doesn’t keep it a secret:
Brown dated Harris in the 1990s as the future senator was getting her start in politics. Brown, then Democratic speaker of the California State Assembly, appointed Harris to her first significant political office on the California Medical Assistance Commission in 1994. Harris missed about a fifth of the medical board’s meetings, which took place twice a month. She left the board in 1998.
“Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago. Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker,” Brown wrote in a column in January.
“I MADE YOU, AND I CAN RUIN YOU!” – Willie Brown.
I kid, I kid. But only kinda.
