38. We haven't had a Democrat to the left of Obama since we lost the South.

The Republican party has moved far to the right, so having a Republican to the left of Obama is not going to happen.

Given the modern electoral map over the past several decades, why do you think it will ever happen again? You could of course say that 49-state loser McGovern was simply a "bad candidate." or that 49-state loser Mondale was simply a "bad candidate," or that 40-state loser Michael Dukakis was also coincidentally just a "bad candidate," but that doesn't explain why you think we will actually ever in the future have a President who is to the left of Obama.
