I’d say a ‘conventional candidate’ could stomp him. We’ve done sensational, as in color, gender, and independent/ socialist. It’s not the extremes in need of motivation - it’s the middle. If the Dems choose extreme, the middle might settle for what they’ve got..

HRC was middle, but the extremes abandoned her. trump’s didn’t. As long as the R’s view it as a team sport … and the D’s view it as their opportunity to display their individuality ..more of the same ~

The Dems could nominate a house plant, and it would get my vote.This vote can't be a statement vote. This is a vote about saving our democracy and our standing in the world. I don't believe this is hyperbole.

I think so. Ya gotta vote.

Republicans don’t care who they nominate (sure they prefer Caucasian and males) but they vote for whom ever the candidate is, regardless of their beliefs and ideas. It’s not a case of being selective, as long as the candidate isn’t like the last democrat elected. I’m certain democrats or non republicans don’t vote in the same manner.

If I remember right Hillary beat Trump in the popular vote.
