Trump and his Gamorrean guard followers did well with that running against Hillary Clinton. Especially since the far left hated her as much as the far right does, and tarred her with the Wall Street brush. But they're going to have to do some fasting talking to convince working people that Trump better represents their interests than the kid from Scranton.

I do think it'll be a woman of color - so, Whitmer is out.

I don't think Joe will have any trouble winning but I'm not sure he'll get a Dem house and senate like in 2008, which will make his thankless task practically impossible. On the other hand, Barack is starting to show some interest in the campaign, and if that carries over after January, they can more or less pick up where they left off. So forward hope and change part II.
