Comedian Bill Maher, host of “Real Time” on HBO, had some advice for the 2020 Democrats running for President at the end of his show Friday night.
They can win — if they “come off less crazy” than President Trump. But, said Maher, who tweeted out the video of this segment, “of course, they’re blowing it.”

As Maher explained:
Fatigue is the best thing we’ve got going for us. The majority of Americans aren’t tired of winning, they’re tired of looking at his fat f—ing face! It’s hard to beat an incumbent in a good economy. Every incumbent since FDR has won if they avoided a recession leading up to an election year and consumer confidence is sky high.
He concluded, “It’s the fatigue, stupid! Let’s make it hard for Trump to play on voters’ fears and let the fatigue win the election for us. We’ll get to the revolution, but remember, put on your oxygen mask before assisting your child.”
