thought exercise

Imagine any of the announced or probably going to anounce Democratic presidential candidates against any of the Repubs. Make some index cards with each of the candidates names on their own card. Throw them in a hat.Do the same thing with the Repubs in another hat.

You get the idea.

Maybe, just maybe, their least crazy/stupid guy (Bush disaster 3.0) could muster a win against Sanders by raising enough money to scare people with a bullshit scare campaign about 'socialism." But honestly I think Sanders would beat Bush.

There's no sequence.

I think any Dem candidate has a lot of work to win votes.
I don't think it works just how I'd like to believe it might work 16 months before the election and before the primaries are even off the ground.
