I'm beginning to wonder if Hillary may run in 2020 - or perhaps Gore now that the geriatric taboos on office that existed since Reagan seem to be gone with Trump being 70 years old....

But let's say Hillary doesn't run. Where is your Barack Obama or pretty boy Bill Clinton waiting in the wings to save your ass?

Its obvious at this point no Democrat candidate is going to be able to win on a "coalition of the fringes" strategy cobbling together an erratic coalition of blacks/latinos/Jews/millenial white activist types, etc.

Corey Booker will NOT win you a national election. Julian Castro isn't as smart as Obama and doesn't have the same kind of organized political machine backing him. The Texas state Democratic Party is a disorganized clusterfck of a joke that lets a bunch of hayseeds literally run circles around them even though Texas is 60% non-white and has huge liberal and Democrat voting blocks who are either indifferent and/or too lazy to get out to vote.

Not that all Texan rural people are stupid, they most certainly aren't -- but the fact somebody as dumb as Rick Perry can not just beat but TROUNCE the state Democrats shows you all you need to know.....

You will NOT be able to beat Trump if he's even a quarter successful in his job creation plans.

Jim Carville said it best "its the economy, stupid." Hillary didn't even take her own adviser's famous advice. Instead she turned to social media campaigns and tried to emotionally gin up everything, even ignoring her husband's advice about visiting midwestern states.

I didn't vote this time around as I backed Bernie but -- just some advice -- don't throw working class whites and unionists out of your party just because they're white and they don't like to listen to you ramble about racism and "white privilege" -- or whatever.

We get home from work and we don't want to listen to you preach to us about how evil we are.....we just want better working conditions and want the rich to pay their fair share and we want free healthcare and better living conditions for us and our friends and family.

I think only further losses in the 2018 congressional elections are the only thing now that will get the Democratic Party to abandon identity politics.
