I could be talking about the New England Patriots or the Trump administration or even the Phoebe Robinson Podcast but no, when I’m talking about soooo many white guys, I mean the recent crop of Democrats running for the 2020 nomination.
We started with a black man, three white women, Asians and a Latino man all throwing their hats into the ring. Since then it’s been 11 straight white guys, capping off with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio getting into the race this week. This mayonnaise tsunami of white men is running up against a styrofoam Hoover Dam as even white people are wondering why so many mediocre white guys are running for president.
