I've been reading discussions here, speculating about what the Democratic Party's 2020 strategy could be, and all of a sudden the light dawned. I don't know what their main strategy is, but they do have a back-up plan. It's so devilishly simple. Their Plan B is literally Plan "B".

Picture the scene in the smoke-filled back room at DNC headquarters:

"OK, so it looks like we can't just rig the thing like we did last time. Those #$%! Bernie Bros are everywhere, and they're persistent little b@$!@#ds. If only we could figure out how to deal with them, we could use it to make absolutely sure Bernie doesn't win on the first ballot. Then the superdelegates can do their thing and nominate *cough* *ahem*."

"Anyone have any ideas?"

"Waiiit just a minute. Bernie ... Bros ... B ... B ... That's it! All we have to do is find a bunch of candidates whose names also start with B. That'll confuse those Basement Bros so they won't know which end is up."

Beto ... Biden ... Booker ... Buttigieg ... (Eliza)Beth Warren ...

"But what if they catch on to our devious trick?"

"They won't. We'll run a bunch of other candidates whose names start with a different letter. 'kay?"

" 'K!"

Kamala, Klobuchar, Kirsten ...

"You're joking, right?"

Joking ... J ... Jay ... John ... John ... Julián ...

Seriously, I know it must mean something. Darned if I know what, though. Maybe it's a sign, like the birdie.

Birdie! B!
