If you could, who would you nominate to run against tRump in 2020, on both the Republican side (up to the primaries), and on the Dermocratic (or Green or .....) side, and be fairly confident of your candidate's victory over tRump? Assume for purpose of answering this question that we have a fair, participatory election process in which at least 60% of voting age citizens actually cast a ballot!
No ones beating Trump!
If the economy is this good in 2020 no one can beat Trump. If the economy is terrible in 2020 anyone can beat Trump.
Maybe Flake as a Republican, I don't know he is a mess too but may be workable. Dems Corey Booker or Joe Kennedy but again it's a jungle out there. At this point it is anyone but Cheeto man.
@SassyLady it's a mess, isn't it?
@Palacinky I totally agree but who else is out there on their side who is even remotely centrist that would get the blessing of the RNC
@Palacinky yep, they gotta deep six the tea partiers. I dislike them all anyway but the Dems better pull it together. Maybe they are waiting to see what happens in November
President RuPaul.
Anything is possible now, and I bet he would do a better job than most lol
That would be devastatingly delicious! I had thought Mr Rogers would be great but darn he died. At least he wanted everyone to be his neighbor
No one.
45 is going to declare martial law, suspend the Constitution, disband Congress, and install himself as Emperor for life.
here's one that always gets them ...
"I am so smart I can tell you who will be the president even before the next election happens!"
"oh really? who?"
"Trump will be the president before the next election. duh."
No Spoilers. I will accept any none celebrity.
Consider these facts about Bernie Sanders:
Bernie Sanders is a 76 year old socialist with a history of rape fantasies and whose wife is under criminal investigation. He's a dream opponent for Trump, but Trump won't be that lucky. Maybe he will have to run against someone like Amy Klobuchar, and she wouldn't be easy to attack.
I wonder about his age? He has the energy and the clout, but...
@TheMiddleWay I wasn't aware that Mrs. Trump is under criminal investigation. Is inventing facts to suit yourself the way you earned your PhDs? LOL
@Marz Flashback: Bernie Sanders Praised Socialist Venezuela as Model for Ending Income Inequality [libertynewsdaily.com]
@TheMiddleWay You implied that Mrs Trump is under criminal investigation, which is not accurate. Mrs Sanders is. [foxnews.com]
Its impossible this far out to speculate about the presidential race. At this point in 2006 we didn't know who Obama was.....midterms first then we'll see who can galvanize people out of that.
That isn’t exactly true, Obama was a three term senator and gave the 2004 Democratic keynote speech which put him on the market for the next president. I remember seeing the speech and I remember all the hype that came afterwards. Also I live in Idaho which is far from a hotbed of democratic activity and there was attention about it here. If you didn’t notice at all, you must have barely been paying attention.
Agree. It is too far into the future. Although I was a Hillary voter in 2016, I believe that the "she was owed" or "she is inevitable" mindset around her candidacy may have kept some other newer voices from coming to the fore. And no, NOT Bernie. and NOT Biden. Nothing against them, but they are both TOO OLD.
I am definitely rooting for bernie sanders, his policy substance and overall outlook on the direction america needs to go in i believe is definitely the right direction, with medicare for all and tuition free college i believe bernie will do it ?
I fear he may be too old, and tired, to try again.
I heard the antichrist himself, Henry Kissinger, is making a bid at the presidency at the age of 95 lol
Carter was an anti-Nixon/Ford, Reagan/Bush was an anti-Carter. Clinton was an anti-Bush. Bush was an anti-Clinton. Obama was an anti-Bush. Trump is an anti-Obama. The next one will be an anti-Trump. The pendulum swings...
Nobody. The country will implode.
That's my fear
Bernie. If he had gotten the Dem nomination last time he would have beaten Trump. The only reason he didn't was Hillary illegally took over the DNC months before her nomination.
