[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]A. Trayon White is racist and an anti-Semite and an anti-vaxxer.
B. Of course Trayon White could be elected our next Mayor.
C. Mayor for Life Barry would be re-elected if he appeared tomorrow.

Congratulations on coming out of your coma. Many things have changed during the years that you were unconscious. Barry would have no chance at a city-wide office, just as Trayon White has no chance. Also, just wait until you hear the identity of our previous President.

Jeff, of course he would win. He received 102k votes in the 90's. If he could run today he would win in a landslide. There might be a large group of shocked DC voters, but not as large as the group partying at his re election. Trayon White does not have Mayor for Life's charisma, but I certainly would not dismiss him especially with as dangerous as he is.

I don't think about the former President anymore. I am not sure why he has so much real estate in your head. [/quote]

Someone who is still worried about the ghost of Marion Barry is not really in a position to joke about cranial real estate usage. As I mentioned, a lot has happened since the 90's. If you have been paying attention, you would understand that Barry's last term as mayor was a disaster that led to the takeover by the financial control board. The coalition that elected Barry has been shattered and no longer exists. Significant demographic changes have introduced 10s of thousands of new voters whose only knowledge of Barry is a blurry video of him being arrested for smoking crack. For better or worse, DC has changed significantly since the Barry era.

As for Trayon White, his chances are even less existent. Where do you think he can get significant support outside of Ward 8 and possibly Ward 7? His only chance would be a Democratic primary in which a ton of weak candidates divided the rest of the vote. But, even in that unlikely scenario, there are any number of people who could jump in as an independent and defeat White in the general election.
