Bush 1 was a bad president, but it wasn't enough to kill Bush 2's chances, and he got into office only 8 years later.

Bush 2 was a failure as a "businessman" president, but that didn't stop Trump, a failed businessman, from getting elected only 8 years later.

Right now, if you polled Democrats, I would guess that Elizabeth Warren would be among the top choices for the nomination for 2020. I strongly suspect you will be seeing a crap ton of negative stories and/or fake news on Warren, and other leading Democrats, for the next 4 years in the RW's attempt to divide Democrats and depress turnout in 2018 and 2020. They did a great job of it with Clinton (with 25 years of fake stories) and Sanders and Trump still barely beat Clinton.
