OMG Politics, I'm over it already.

Interesting question: who should the Democrats run in 2020?

If Trump does decently well, he'll have a huge advantage going into 2020, and the Democrats won't run their starter. But, assuming that Trump is not popular in 2020, who will be the Democratic candidates?

Clinton is out. Losing candidates have never tried a second time because of all the existing negativity. Although, I'll be the first to admit that this has been an extremely unusual election, and the fact that she looks to have won the popular vote by perhaps 2 million votes may change that equation. On the other hand, she'll be older than any other candidate to have ever run, except for Trump himself.

Sanders will be too old as well.

Al Gore? Interesting possibility. He'll be older than any previous candidate at 72, but younger than Trump. He had no serious skeletons in his last run, and as far as I know, he's not picked up any new ones. He's boring, but well liked, and he did try to warn us about climate change. On the other hand, he made a lot of short term warnings that haven't played out.

Elizabeth Warren? Would the party try another woman?

Andrew Cuomo? Al Frankin? Jon Stewart? (Why not?)

Although that didn't work out much better in the long run either.

Jefferson got the job, as well.

My mom left me a few things, like a 1960 Nixon for President button.

I need to dig that up.

Funny thing, that Trump cup. You order one thing and you'll likely end up with something completely unexpected.

Good thing that customer was there to set things straight on the path to a great America.

Anything that gets Starbucks to stop serving their shitty coffee.

Wow. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2...sidential-inauguration-donald-trump?CMP=fb_us

Even though they were booked months ago just the fact that someone wanted Vince Neil to perform at an inauguration is mind-boggling.

The locally owned coffee shoppe just shut it's doors not long ago. So, if I'm out and aboot, it's either Starbucks, Biggby's (used to be called Beaner's, mega-chain here in the mid-west) or nothing.

I wonder if Vince will have any strippers on stage?

I bet Ted Nugent is pissed the job isn't going to him, Donnie could have addressed the crowd right after he played "Wang Dang Sweet Pootang".

You'll get nothing and like it.

Interesting question: who should the Democrats run in 2020?

Today's money is on Cory Booker. But there will likely be a lot of opportunities in the next four years for some deep bencher to make him/herself known as a vocal critic of the GOP's time in charge.
