You don't know that with certainty. Obama, who was a historic candidate was essentially unseated because of the economy.

If there is not significant economic recovery out of Covid, led by the democratic party, they will be feeling the heat.

A big reason much of this has blown up in Trumps face is because there wasn't a whole lot else to bitch about.

That combined with the fact of his total inability to curb his own ego at every turn has fueled the flames.

Find a more relatable conservative candidate and you've got yourself a viable campaign for MANY Americans.

The younger generations are more liberal than the few that preceded them and there are starting to have more influence over national elections. You've also got traditional red states going blue. Once Texas flips, there won't be a path to the presidency for a conservative for the foreseeable future.

We've been hearing that for a long time. If you had told someone that Trump would have a chance to win an election after Clinton/Bush/Obama, they'd have laughed you off the face of the earth.

I agree on your Texas point, that is a concern.

But I'd counter that with more and more folks in the "younger generation" who are coming into money and having families will lean away from these some of the more radical ideas. You're seeing it with mass exodus from cities as we speak.

It's natural/cyclical progression that enabled Reagan to get elected and remain so popular.
