It's all about race, Rich white men are not welcome. Aside from that Trump has made serious inroads with the black community. Biden is in the lead but he has no momentum. Warren's plans scare the hell out of most people because she will destroy the economy. Poofy Pete is gaining nationally and has taken the top spot in some Iowa polls but he has no black support. Patrick has very little name recognition and is starting too late.

I can't really say how the field would shuffle out.
I do think he was put in place to take away Biden's black vote. The DNC is afraid of Biden because they know what investigations Barr has started are what they are likely to turn up. Biden's name will be all over it.
The DNC is manipulative. They want to pick the winners and losers. 

i do agree that they do not believe a rich white man should be their candidate.

Although Deval Patrick fits the Democrats criteria.
Minority
From Chicago
Went to Harvard
Civil Rights lawyer
Went to Government
Created a lot of debt as Governor of MA
Replaced by a Republican Governor to fix his financial mess

And is the managing director at Bain Capital. Remember them? He's toast.

Recall that Barack's past had RED FLAGS all over it. Shady as shady can be.

All buried due to his politics and race.

Deval honestly has very few red flags that I know of. He had the taxpayers buy him an expensive Cadillac, and drapes for the Governor's Office. Public Transit and Child Health Services made some very bad calls - Deval was hands off - not really involved in the crimes nor in any solutions. But that's all I remember.

Deval made campaign promises to reduce taxes - which he did not do. But at the time he sounded more like a Republican than a Democrat.

The Bottom Line is Deval Patrick does not scare me, and I'd sure like to see the radicals swept aside and he replace them.

Don't get me wrong, he's no Trump. But his track record is quite mild.

So you think he has a real chance to win?

I ran from that state the December 31st 1989 and never looked back.

No one seems to believe Deval Patrick will get very far.

I suppose it depends on whether Barack and the Media talk him up or not.

As I've said, I would welcome him back as Massachusetts Governor. Our current RINO Charlie Baker is a disaster. I voted for Baker's first term, but certainly did not vote for him twice.

Right now I would like to see Deval Patrick as the Democrat Front Runner - which is unlikely to happen.

I wonder if he has the balls Tulsi does, to go on FOX and do interviews. I hope so.

But at the very least I hope Deval creates some real chaos.

Ok, here's another off the wall idea, Obama is pushing Patrick to keep biden from getting the nominee??? One reason, Trump has destroyed most of obama's legacy, he has flipped most of what obama saw as what "made him great". One item Trump has not uncovered is how far the corruption in the obama administration went. Biden is going to expose that and there will be nothing left for obama to stand on. Is this a way to pay biden back for that. Bidens future looks as bleak as it can get from here on, I'm guessing obama will be dragged down with him and this is pay back.  Bidens lucky he's not dragging hillary down.

Deval Patrick will win when Joe Biden is right on a foreign policy issue.
