Democratic adviser on 2020: 'We could blow this' by jonward11
He’s not overly worried that the massive field — headed toward 20 candidates — will mix with a proportional primary and a restless grassroots to spark a civil war in the party that extends all the way through their convention. “We’re a party that’s totally capable of making the path easier for [Trump], particularly if we fall into the traps he tends to set,” Trippi said in an interview on the Yahoo News podcast “The Long Game.
“I think a lot of these teams are underestimating just how strong the impulse will be” among the media and voters to cut the field down after Iowa and New Hampshire, the second primary contest, he said. “It’s kind of a law of gravity. The press and all of us cannot follow 18 people. ... We can’t do it.”
During the Jones campaign, Trippi said, he saw that “there were three groups in the Republican Party that are seriously considering voting for a Democrat for the first time in their life” — suburban women, younger voters, and the college educated. If the Democratic nominee gets into a “mud fight” with Trump, a contest of “who can be angrier and who can be meaner and who can be tougher on the other side,” Trippi said, then traditional Republican voters who might detest Trump will likely revert to their tribal identity.
Accordingly, Trippi didn’t sound too impressed with former Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s candidacy. “He's interesting, but I think in the end, I don't see —” Trippi stopped himself from going too far, and changed directions. “It's way too early to know whether they're connecting beyond their initial surge, right? One of the things I think that people don't realize is how easy it is to raise 10 million dollars now,” Trippi said, referring to O’Rourke’s $9.
