Stacey Abrams is an Odd Choice to Deliver the State of the Union Response Daniel Greenfield

After the disastrous response to Trump’s wall speech, it’s understandable that the Dems don’t want to bring Schumer and Pelosi back to counter President Trump’s State of the Union address. And a lot of their top talent is pondering running in 2020.
So they can’t play favorites.
But Stacey Abrams has also been flirting with running, she’s a campaign loser and she’s a terrible public speaker. The Dems could have picked Hakeem Jeffries, or any one of a dozen other Dems in the national or state leadership who aren’t thinking of running.
And who would actually leave viewers with a positive impression.
Picking Abrams is meant to boost her comeback campaign, but at the cost of the Dem brand.
I know the pre-written media headlines about Abrams “destroying” Trump with lines carefully scripted for her by guys who charge you $50K just to hear them sneeze will be given added spice by the identity politics here, and the consultants have told the Dems that getting black women out to vote is the key to victory, but she’s still a terrible choice.
But at least she probably isn’t running in 2020. It’s hard to find a Dem who isn’t.
