Prospects for election

I’m a firm believer that roughly onethird of the voters think that President Trump is wonderful, while another third hate him. The non-committed third in the middle are the ones that have to be persuaded to vote for either the Republican or Democratic nominee.

If the Democrats want even a chance of winning, they need to find somebody who is only left of center who can appeal to a majority of the voters. They cannot win with men like Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, who give the impression that they have one foot in a rest home, nor with any of the “Social Democrats” who honestly sound like repackaged communists.

You will have to admit that it’s going to be an interesting time until the November 2020 election.
