Just another silly poll. In the unlikely event he gets primaried in 2020, I threw in Nikki Haley.

1. This Lisa Simpson?

[Tiggeroshii]

2. That Lisa Simpson

I mean, they were right about Trump, so...

=P

[BainsBane]

3. She's probably our best chance

The way the country has been going.

[True_Blue]

4. Anybody but Trump

That is if we still have a country left in 4 yrs.

[First Speaker]

5. Alec Baldwin...

...and I'm at least 50% serious...

[Doreen]

6. I must be paranoid

but I keep wondering if that was the last election this country will ever have. I see Trump and his cabinet as a dictatorship and is there actually TRUE votes in a dictatorship? Am I the only one that feels that way?

[Crunchy Frog]

12. No, you're not the only one.

I think the more likely scenario is that there will still be elections, but they will mean next to nothing, and will simply exist for show. Many authoritarian regimes operate that way, even maintaining a token "opposition" party, to give the illusion of democracy.

I think this country is entering an entirely new period in its history, and it's got me frankly terrified.

[Hortensis]

22. Only if the electorate sits on its voting fingers in 2018 and 2020.

It's true that would-be power grabbers will do everything it can to steal the next elections, but they have not destroyed our republic yet.

7. I was a little surprised I didn't see Mike Pence on the list.

I don't expect Trump to make it through 4 years. I expect at some point, even the republicans will have had enough and force him to resign "for health reasons" under the whispered threat of impeachment, probably shortly after the midterms.

Having said that, I think whatever scandals are to come will probably taint Pence in the eyes of republican voters as well, so I don't expect he'd be in a position to run in 4 years either.

In any case, I voted for Booker.

[Tiggeroshii]

8. I would put him in, but I like having Lisa Simpson there too much.

=P

[hughee99]

9. She probably has a better chance than Pence does,

even though she's about 28 years old and still in 3rd or 4th grade.

[Tiggeroshii]

11. Well the show started in 1989 when she was 8 years old

By 2020 she will be about 38, and still in third or fourth grade. She's qualified!

=D

[Crunchy Frog]

13. All the Republicans want is someone to sign the legislation that they send to his desk.

Chances are that he will be perfectly satisfactory to them in that regard. He can also serve as a distraction with his outrageous antics, while the 'pukes quietly undo the last century of social progress in this nation.

The 'pukes may be quite happy to have him as their figurehead.

[spin]

17. Trump is not really a Republican. He just hijacked the Republican Party. ...

Many establishment Republicans hate him just as much as we do. They will be looking for any opportunity to impeach him and let Mike Pense take over.

However it is wise not to underestimate Trump. Far too many politicians and people have done so. He seems to have an unusual ability to survive. No other candidate in our history could have acted like Trump and insulted so many people and ethnic groups and still manage to win the race for President.

Some candidates are said to have Teflon coating as nothing sticks to them. Trump has something even better than Teflon coating. Perhaps he is ceramic coated or maybe he in Ti-Cerama coated (ceramic reinforced with titanium) like the Gotham Steel cookware advertised on TV.

[True Dough]

10. I remain hopeful

that Michelle Obama will throw her hat in the ring. It will take at least a year or two, but after witnessing the mess Drumpf and the Republicans will make, she just might change her mind.

And the lack of holding previous office shouldn't work against her!

[spin]

18. Usually Michelle would have to run for office first. ...

But maybe since Trump won without ever being elected to anything Michelle can bypass that step.

[McCamy Taylor]

14. TRick question. Will Putin allow us to hold elections?

[spin]

15. Hopefully a Democrat who is younger than my age of 70 ...

and has both charisma and good ideas on how to move this nation forward. It may be somebody we know now or a entirely new face.

[Mike Nelson]

16. Any combo...

...of Newsom, Booker and Castro would be nice. But it's way too soon... Odd to see Bernie on the list but not Hillary; if we went there, I'd say Hillary would win again (she did win the vote and it was not close). If Warren uses these four years wisely, she could position herself very well. The Democrats have great people, young and old - contrary to the media narrative!

[Warren DeMontague]

19. I think Liz Warren and Gavin Newsom are definitely two to watch.

[Hortensis]

23. Elizabeth is almost Hillary's age. It'll be interesting

to see what both of them do over the couple of years and where they are at that time. Of course, Elizabeth can be counted on to make the most of her new position on the Armed Services Committee, whatever her personal goals.

I expect younger people will have developed national names by then, though. After all, while the Republican caucuses are "rockin' and rollin'," as Ryan puts it, our people are going to be forming working alliances with a few Republicans while trying to kicking the feet out from under the rest at every opportunity.

[HoneyBadger]

20. Keith Ellison

Could conceivably pull the youth, Progressive, WWC and AA vote

And he would be the first US President to swear in on the Koran. That has a certain appeal.

[JI7]

21. George Clooney

If it looks like we need a celeb to win and after Obama convinces him to do it for the country.

[joshcryer]

24. Clooney had a basketball game with Obama a few days ago.

I think you're right. It's not going to be a politician. It's going to be a celebrity.

[Vinca]

25. We may not be alive in 2020. Let's concentrate on the 2018 midterms.

[joshcryer]

26. The midterms are a lost cause.

Trump won't do much damage in 2 years, indeed, his "reforms" will likely lead to a 21000-22000 DOW by then. Even by 2020 his reforms will only hurt the little guy. Look at Bush, the shit didn't hit the fan until he was almost out of office and it took almost 8 years to just normalize. That's what you are looking at.

[Vinca]

27. That's why we're in this mess. No election is a lost cause.

From dogcatcher to POTUS, we need to get Democrats or left-leaning Independents in office.

[MiniMe]

28. You think there is going to be an election in 2020?

[CanonRay]

29. I'm with you

I'm not convinced we'll have another election in my lifetime. At least one where the Dear Leader doesn't get 99%.

[Tiggeroshii]

30. It will be something

"election," if you will.

[Pacifist Patriot]

33. We will have to revise our definition of "election."

[LeftInTX]

32. Sherod Brown, please

[UTUSN]

34. Whoever's running against PENCE. n/t

[Hugin]

35. Honey Boo-Boo.

If current trends continue.

[crazycatlady]

36. Roy Cooper is a name to watch

Just sworn in as governor of NC

[Tiggeroshii]

37. Good call

Or what about that fellow, John Bel Edwards? Governor of Louisiana?

[crazycatlady]

38. Montana also has a Democratic governor

Personally I would like the 2020 ticket to stay away from the northeast and the west coast. Democrats don't exactly have a track record for successful candidates from that neck of the woods.

I'd like to see Amy Klobuchar as VP.
