he dems have nobody that can beat him and that includes that old commie Bernie. Sure they do. There are tons. Younger, less communist than Bernie, and, so far, relatively undamaged. Remember recent history. Obama appeared out of almost nowhere to become the dominant DEM candidate, defeating the entrenched Hillary. Trump very quickly emerged from the fringes to become the dominant GOP candidate, defeating entrenched candidates.
Just because you can't name someone right now means almost nothing. The Dems will present a candidate, and rally around that candidate. Like they have for well over a hundred years now (depending on how you want to define the beginnings of what is now the Democratic party). Hand-waving away a party that won the popular vote by a decent margin is just pre-season boosterism.
The far more interesting campaign, though, will be the GOP primary, if Trump makes it that far.
Trump just kicked ass in the last GOP primary, have you forgotten? He beat all the challengers. He made Ryan kiss his ass and won with a VP who believes that homosexuals can become heterosexuals if given the proper chance.....
Just because you are "candidate" does not equate to having a chance at the Presidency. How many GOP candidates were there? Wasn't Bush the odds on favorite to win the nomination? When knowledgeable people talk about potential 2020 democratic candidates who are they talking about?
"former Vice President Joe Biden, Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) "
The two guys are democratic party hacks and Warren would have less of a chance than Hillary.
To beat Trump you are going to have to out Trump him. You need to be a successful business person, well known, bombastic, egotistical and be able to explain to voters why a vote for them isn't a vote for business as usual. Duffy already made it clear Oprah is not an option. Tell me who could take on and beat The Donald in 2020? Hoping for someone unknown to unseat The Donald is like buying a Power Ball ticket. You could win, but the odds are way against you.
