Trump vs Hill would be epic.

I concur. At this stage in the devolution of American political life, entertainment value seems the healthiest criterion.

IMO if either party would ever nominate a fiscally conservative and socially liberal candidate they'd win in a landslide.
I would qualify that by saying it should be a *proven* fc/sl - someone who's been a governor or senator or congressperson, so there's a track record. I wouldn't trust anyone who claims to be one but has never walked the talk.

I'll second that.
I suspect that is where most of us are.

I suppose I fall into the "White Cosmo" group although my ethnic heritage is Eur-Asian. I was born in NYC but have been living most of my adult life in Philly. Both are strongly Democratic cities.

I'm just glad I was cosmic dust at one point. It's pretty!

Hispanic, Asian, "other", and mixed race. I fit all 4 descriptions, but I strongly identify as Hispanic since I was born in Puerto Rico and so were my parents

I guess I'm white cosmo, but it's complicated. White cosmo would be the "best" answer if this were a multiple choice question on an SAT test, you know, where more than one answer fits a little bit but you have to pick one.

Jon Huntsman or Michael Bloomberg would do just fine.

I agree.
I couldn't bring myself to waste my vote on Huntsman in 2012, but I did contribute financially to his campaign.
Bloomberg's tenure as NYC mayor is imo equivalent to a governorship.
