republicans seem to think the DNC is gonna start looking at Michelle Obama for 2020

I know Barack said she has no interest, but I hope she changes her mind

The DNC needs to focus on taking back the House and Senate, honestly. If the focused on that this election (instead of forcing HRC down voters throats) they probably would've won the Senate.

They were and were in line to do so until about 10 days ago. That I put on Comey at least from the Senate perspective.

Yep. The Dems tried to build a house starting with the roof instead of laying the foundation. Still no excuse for a silent majority to expose themselves as idiots though, and sending the biggest idiot of them all into the white house. America has been a joke to other countries for a long time, but now? This is probably like watching Super Bad or Friday for the first time to them.

GOP and DNC are both **** shows but DNC actually put effort into their own implosion

Its the biggest L ever.

The thing is the GOP, for the first time in a long time, actually has a path to successfully pushing their agenda. They have the House, the Senate, 1 SCOTUS pick (maybe 2 in the near future) and the Presidency. Now the question is if they will all get along to push that agenda (I honestly don't know).

Right now, the only thing I would bet on is that the ACA will be heavily modified/removed and replaced with something else.. I honestly don't know what that will be at this point.

There's no guarantee Bernie was going to win either. He may have gotten a bigger share of the white vote, but he literally neglected the minority outreach for the entire primary almost which is why he got 3 million less votes.
 
Yeah well.. Bernie didn't have to sell out to Hillary either after losing and Hillary could have chosen him as VP. Hell I know more about Hillary's dirt and corruption from Bernie moreso than all the propaganda by the GOP.

It's pretty obvious that Hillary was/is unelectable but the Dems had no other legitimate, vetted centrist/establishment candidate.
If this is true the Democrats didn't have one single viable candidate running for the 2016 preside risk election. Not one.

I said it before looking at voter turn out polls:
While the Republican party has their problems the Democrats are looking at a situation where only charismatic qualified black candidates will be viable for them from here on out.

Minorities weren't enthused with Bernie like that.


Cuz dems may just have to look forward to lowered voter turn out from here on out and Obama's results will be an exception.

In terms of the general,I don't think the demographics would've changed much for them besides in the demographic that won the election. White voters

We have to hope a third party candidate doesn't run in 2020. If not we can survive these 4 years and elect someone else.

The data shows there were many democrats who stayed home. After 4 years of Trump he will not have the momentum on his side.

Voter turn out would have been lower for Bernie in the general election.

These same Bernie bros being smug now would've been on suicide watch.
Why is American Politics so crazy, why can't it be more like Taiwan
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Who was the actual last "great" president?

In terms of lore, JFK and Reagan were the most beloved.
I don't think being beloved (especially at the time) is the same thing as being a great President or looked at as a great president.

Possibly but even then he would have garnered many of the same criticisms in theory that Hillary had in being a career politician, while also being Drumpf like in having a lot of unrealistic goals and familiarity with other demos. I mean we act as if Hillary didn't get more votes, would Bernie have been guaranteed to get more working class white voters while maintaining what Hillary end up getting? It's possible but it could have ultimately went the same way. Especially being a relative unknown and being vetted in front of the nation for the first time. You'd also have to factor in the anti-Semite emotion that a lot of these Drumpf supporters have akin to the anti-woman that apparently plagued Hillary.

Drumpf was able to tap into white supremacy which is different from tapping into just white working class. There's another level that would have likely still pushed things toward him.
