First of all, the Republicans may well nominate an idiot like Mike Huckabee.
Second, the economy recovers more and more with each passing year. The GOP House slowed us down with all their spending cuts, ending unemployment extension, and constant threats of a debt default. But the passage of time, and good policies from the Administration's first two years, has slowly but surely allowed the damaged economy to heal. So unless there is a recession I expect Hillary and other Democrats to run on the fact that we undid the disaster that we inherited from them eight years earlier.
Third, I think voters will want the steady and stable hand of Hillary, rather than the GOP promise to lead us in a revolution. I think a minimum wage increase and student loan reform will go over much better than privatizing social security and undoing health care reform.
The Republican strategy to win is to disenfranchise voters, by voter suppression and gerrymandering.
