In reply to the discussion: Enough with this inauguration bullshit...who will the Dems run 2028 [View all]

(5,271 posts)51. Vance could be President by 2028
I’d almost say it’s likely.
But in the end it will probably come down to the state of the economy and what other disasters are facing the country at the time of the election. We haven’t had a Republican leave the country in good shape at the end of their term in what seems like forever. Maybe Eisenhower was the last one.

Misogyny exists. But the way around it is by running on a message of change, or anti establishment message.

Democrats do have a strong pro worker message. They do NOT ignore the working class. Enough is enough.

Precisely. If we don't take the House back, our 2028 Prez hopes are more difficult. Senate too please!

Nominating a 71 year old is not super-optimal but it's reasonable, IMO.

Who is running is less important than making sure the theme/platform is NOT "Saving Trump supporters from their messes"
