Dear Hillary, Don't pick Pocahontas

Josh Marshall thinks it's a good idea, but it's not.

Democrats have for a long time sought to win by portraying Republicans as the candidates of nobody but white men, wink wink, nudge nudge.

Two women at the top of the Democratic ticket, one of whom famously and hilariously played the minority card for some sort of academic affirmative action benefit, would make it way too easy for Il Duce and his surrogates to just laugh at the Democrats as the girls' team.

He won't even have to say "girls and, oh yeah, anybody who has a problem with white people."

This could be the year the Democrats' option for identity politics, a choice that committed them long ago to a constant rhetorical war on white men, sinks them.

Not a good thing.
