Incumbent Presidents who run and fail to be elected for a second term often had a tough time getting their party's nomination. Ford faced a long fight with Ronald Reagan for the Republican nomination in 1976 and then lost the general election. Carter faced a long fight with Ted Kennedy for the Democratic nomination in 1980 and then lost the general election. Taft faced a long fight with Teddy Roosevelt for the Republican nomination in 1912 and then lost the general election. Herbert Hoover was an exception as he faced no competition for the 1932 Republican nomination but still lost the election. BUT GREAT DEPRESSION! HW Bush was an exception as he faced no competition for the 1992 Republican nomination but still lost the election. BUT RECESSION and Perot took 20 million votes. I don't see any similar scenario being played out in 2020. Despite some grumbling by Kasich, I don't see a serious Republican challenge. I also don't see a depression hitting in the next two years. The third party candidate given our newly emboldened billionaires might happen, particularly with Bloomberg. Bloomberg may figure he is simply too old to wait until 2024. |

At the moment any third party looks like it will come out of the left. The Democrat Party though always a coalition party is currently vry split. The crazies are really dragging everything left. Open calls for socialism. Combine that with Trump pulling working class votes and we may see a once every few generations realignment. The President is a fink. |

Didn’t you just do that the other day claiming he’d win re-election because his idiotic base still loves him? “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

The base that got him elected? You betcha.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Now I get why you’re so desperate for Hillary to be the nominee again. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

The sheer entertainment value, she can't talk without going into a coughing fit. Or the arm waver, Beto. He's a peach, Trump would tear him a new a-hole.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Will announce her candidacy sometime around the MLK weekend timeframe. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kamala-harris-set-to-toss-hat-into-presidential-ring-sources-kcbs-radio/ I'd take her over Warren any day. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

That's like saying you'd take Groucho over Harpo, or Moe over Curly. All bumbling morons.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
