(29,322 posts)Republicans made no inroads in the groups that favor Democrats. Also since there is a good chance the economy will be strong, that would additionally help.
Key could be young voters if they turn out at 20% and vote in favor at 60% or higher, could swing the election if it was close.

(29,322 posts)Republicans can't survive forever with their most loyal voting bloc and also whoever the Republicans likely nominate will be a joke. Someone like Rand Paul could be tricky but Christie? Bush? Huckabee?

(71,265 posts)Our candidates will have to prove they can beat them. At this moment only Hillary has shown she can win.
Others will have their chance but they have more to prove.

(29,322 posts)No name Republicans in blue New York?
She did have to deal with the "carpet bagger" campaign in her first but still favored.
I do believe she would win but the polarization would hurt her as well as inspiring & getting people to the polls.

(29,322 posts)As far as that, depends on policy enacted. She is an obvious panderer so I guess it depends on poll numbers.

(6,323 posts)and Hillary will make the 3rd third way candidate. Of course with a dash of Republican in between.

(6,323 posts)I'm just saying we've done this experiment already. And it's a slow frog march to the right if we continue. The voters want Democrats not Republican lite. Progressive legislation won big, 3rd way Democrats with open seats lost.
A party already has dibs on the conservative pro corporation agenda, we were supposed to provide the alternative. Instead we showed we could be "That" guy too.

Elect Hillary and you will get more of the same.
Bernie. Elizabeth. Maybe some other fresh face... but not Hillary.
