In my opinion, the two parties are finished in their current form. The Evangelicals will never recover the Republican Party into doing their bidding, and the Democrats are effectively leaderless. They're all a bunch of old douchebags or losers. Elizabeth Warren can't run against him, and Bernie will be 79. For all intents and purposes, Trump has no one to challenge him in 2020.

Or does he now? What if Romney were to run for the nomination of the Democrats? They have no one now and all my liberal friends have turned on a dime about how they felt about Romney 4 years ago. They know that he's a man of integrity who will do everything in his power to do what is right for this country.

Now with Romney not being the SoS, he is now a direct threat to Trump. Seriously, who would be a better candidate to run for their party than a moderate Republican since they have no one and the Republicans are in a stalemate having to put up with Trump for at least 8 years. If I were the head of the DNC, I would start courting Romney hard.

Trump won Ohio by 9 this time. He'd win Ohio by 18 over a Dem Kasich.

His niece is rRNC chair to be and his son will run for governor of utah in 2020 most likely. I would guess trump finds some kind of job for Romney. Also, not sure James Bond villain Rex will get confirmed either. I wouldn't be shocked if the Dems nonimate deval Patrick in 2020

"I've said this will happen but it will be Kasich"

If Trump has any success Kasich will never get it regardless if Trump runs for a second term or not.

I just see the party moving in a different direction.

Then they're going to die. They need to learn to not pander to the PC police and instead actually have progressive views. They're just corporate shills at this point who racebait and lie to the populace, and it just bit them in the arse in the form of Donald Trump. They have to nominate a progressive or moderate who will actually fight for the people instead of corporate interests. Mitt Romney is the best they're going to do in that for the time being.

Democrats are going to choose someone even further to the left.

Romney and kasich would be better choices but trump is the nightmare of any stiff in a suit or pantsuit

I think they're trying to cobble together a Fauxahontas/Cory Booker ticket - hits for the circuit - female, Native American, African American, gay.

If the Democratic Party of 20 years ago still existed that would be a possibility. But that party is way to left of Romney for this happen.

I agree, but once Pelosi is out of there (can't imagine her being reelected in 2018 for Minority Leader) then they might get someone in smart enough to realize what you're saying. They're already screwed in 2018 for the elections, so if this hasn't been a wake up call, I'd like to think that would be it.

Why not? She has been an unmitigated disaster for them.

All that is left of the house caucus is about 190 left wing kooks and maybe half a dozen somewhat normal people.

This. They are flirting with Biden but he is a clown to them. Like a little mascot. Their white male mascot.

It'll be Corey Booker or someone like that.

He'll be 78. He's not a viable option.

I mean, she has, but when it comes to dethroning Trump in a few years, I can't imagine they'll make her the general in doing that. Granted they surprised me with her reeelection, so they have to be retarded of course, but I can't imagine them being that retarded.
