I hope the Dems pick someone more unlike Trump than like Trump. Why do you think Franken would do well in the rust belt states? |

Al Franken would be eaten alive in the primaries and even more so in the general election. I hope. I've nothing against him, but he was very acerbic in his political humor in the late 90s, displaying a near Trump-like level of scorn for his political enemies. Oh, it was funny, but wholly undignified. I read two of his books because my brother had them at the office back when. I predict any Democrat with even a 0.000000000000000001% chance of being recognized by ten random people on the street will want to run in 2020. Those who can get the money will do so. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

That's actually a very good question. I assume being from Minnesota and having a more populist stance than some Dems would help him in the rust belt. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Because he's good enough, he's smart enough and dogonit people like him. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

Franken comes across as a smarmy smartass elitist, about as far from a people person as you can get. He oozes sarcasm and superiority, he really can't help himself. He even has the look on his face most of time, of a preppy spoiled Ivy League prick. He would be in last place in every presidential poll. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

You could be right (there is a first time for everything...). I have no idea who the Dems will pick for 2020 (I do know it won't be Hillary, as much as the righties love to speculate about that). “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

You never heard his show on Airhead America? He was solid preppy sarcasm, non ending, for hours. It wasn't funny, it was childish. He's the most intelligent person in any room and lets you know it every 5 sec or so. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Well, it won't matter. Assuming that Trump is still in office in 2020 (far from a certainty), they could run a dead cat against him and still score a crushing win. Imagine all the scandals and blunders of the last four weeks multiplied fifty-fold. |

A lot will depend on the state of the economy in 2020. Bush the elder seemed invincible in 1991, but one mild recession buried his career. And if Clinton runs again, she's almost certain to lose again. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

That's exactly what was said during the campaign. They even had a scandal video and whole parade of victimized women they trotted out. What they have in 2020 won't come close to any of that. The biggest problem the Left has is they don't even have a dead cat, they have Fauxcahantas. And she has as much crowd appeal as Hillary did. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
