The EC will jump on the band wagon and he will get more than he needs to get elected for real this time.How many Electoral Votes will Trump get in 2020?
Yeah...I know lots of things can happen...just have fun with it.
Entirely depends on the Democrats nominee. Trump should be easily beatable, but as 2016 has shown us...you never know.
Agreed. Right now the Dems only have aging warriors who are only getting older in the persons of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Beyond that it is strictly a B team situation with a very thin bench.
Kaine showed me nothing during the campaign so he is out also. Clinton is done and over with despite winning the popular vote by a sizable sum.
This must be a top priority for the Democratic party along with stopping Trumps agenda.
You never know though...look at Obama in 2008 or Trump in 2016...sometimes someone unexpected emerges.
Corey Booker?
Booker is also strictly B team material. Maybe a VP .... at best. If Warren were only five years younger - she would be a solid choice. But if its Trump - she would still be younger than him so it might be possible.
Whoever the nominee ends up being...they have to do better at energizing the Democrat base than Clinton did. That's why she lost, because Democrats didn't vote for her like Obama.
Agreed - hindsight is always 20/20. Now we can see that it was incredibly stupid and an incredible arrogant act of hubris to delude themselves into thinking that places like Georgia and Texas were in play. They should have been looking more at Michigan and Wisconsin. But she had to do something to do just what you stated - energizing her own base. In the end the final numbers will show a lot less Dems voting for her than both of the Obama elections.
I suspect the number of actual Obama to Trump defections was rather small - but the real problem is Obama voters who simply stayed at home disgusted with Clinton - maybe because of the legal Comey actions..... among other things

If the Democrats are smart in their rebuild and pick a half-decent candidate, probably just short of what he needs to win. If the Democrats are dumb, which is probably more likely as all our political parties here seem to be ran by idiots (of varying levels), he'll probably win but by a small margin then he did this year.
If we are talking about possible candidates, wouldn't mind seeing Van Hollen give it a shot. Remember seeing a few speeches he made on the floor of the house and the guy could do a good job igniting a base (imo).
