[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump's four years will be make or break for the Republican Party. If his four years end in mass death and chaos like Covid-19, BLM riots, J6 riot, his legacy will be ruined. If it ends smoothly, then the Republicans will likely win in 2028.[/quote]
I think you have this backwards. The pressure for the next four years is not on Trump.

Everyone already spent four years with Trump. They reelected him because they are more comfortable with that than they are with what Democrats have to offer.

The pressure for the next four years is on Democrats to present an alternative to Trump that people can get behind. So far, the only thing that the Democrats are doing is replacing their octogenarians in leadership with the unreformed progressives that helped to drive them into this ditch. I don’t think they are heading in the right direction. [/quote]

Agree. The "names" in the Democratic Party - from Newsom to Shapiro to Whitmer to Beshear - are not happening nationally. Democrats are such an awful brand they need a complete reboot. Like Obama when he was a mere state senator in Illinois. If the DNC would actually allow it, Democrats really, really need an open primary that is welcoming to candidates coming out out of left field and have the skills and charisma to compete. Democrats seem to insist on anointing their establishment next in line politicians - from Clinton to Biden to Harris, and clearing the field to make it happen.

And that's not going to work anymore. The DNC and the donor class have been a disaster for Democrats. And Democrats have been crippled by local government progressives that are repelling everyone.

I saw an interview a few weeks ago on CNN with a new Congresswomen from Washington State that flipped a red seat blue. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez. Such a down to earth, decent, common sense, cares about people person. I thought, yes, more of this please. Authentic. Involved in the issues of her community. Wants to make life better for people in her corner of the world - and that includes loggers and other boogeymen for progressives. I'm sure she's not running for president, but that is exactly what Democrats need. Not fricking Gavin Newsom or any other slick-haired billionaire-supported lifetime politician.  [/quote]

I swear you people
Posting here must be 22 years old. It’s like you just tuned into politics last year. Totally clueless. [/quote]

Yeah, and you establishment progressives and your cynical know-it-all, we'll decide for you approach has been working wonders for Democrats. [/quote]
