I say yes


These are the two issues affecting Americans the most

It makes sense the Dems are going to campaign primarily on them


They are going to win so much they will be tired of winning

Only if Putin will be on a ballot. Democratic party is very weak. From organizational point of view and functioning of state branches.

Well in North Carolina the bathroom issue gave the Democrats victory ... in this the year the Democrats must win in new jersey and keep Virginia. Until 2018 many other issues

They might win the west coast (CA, OR, WA, HI) and the northeast but that's about it.

Obama won on ending the wars. Addressing the corruption on Wall Street. Delivering and bringing down the cost of health care for all. Running lobbyists out of Washington. That is what he ran and won on. He did none of them and the (D) were thrown out of power.

They instead took up the causes of where you can pee and who you must bake a cake for to distract from their failures above.

No, actually running on the ideas that people rejected is not going to win you the power back. The problem they have now is people will ask "why should I believe you this time" if they would run on the things people really care about.

Nope, they are going to find a candidate that meets some very specific demographic that they believe Trump marginalized. They will then run on a platform that tries to succeed by mocking the current administration while at the same time attempts to draw pity for their candidate as someone who suffered through the Trump term. They will also ironically run on "taking our government/country back" which will no longer be seen as being racist.

Russias influence on future campaigns is a big yawn. The more we are hearing the more evidence that the Dems were in collusion with foreign entities not Trump.
There is also the latest sanctions and now Putin is telling the US to reduce diplomatic footprint in his country.
I thought Putin and Trump were best buds?

Transgendered people are such a small segment of our society and if they carry themselves well you wouldn't even know if you met one. Of course come 2020 the Dems will turn gender questions into a weapon against Trump. I don't know about it being the root of a new civil rights movement but who knows. The Dems are the champions of minorities and in their mind they have already helped black people, they tried to help brown people by promising amnesty for their illegal cousins so who is left? gay people.

I think the average American would still rather have jobs, terrorists and illegals off the streets, a good economy over the rights of a few people to pee where they want.

I love the way you word that? Win big. Now if you said win, maybe the comment would carry some weight.

Russia is getting old unless something really earth shaking comes out of all this and it is not likely that is going to happen. And gender nothing will not play any part. The issues people are concerned with are: health care, jobs, the environment to some degree and the stock market, plus crime, reducing drugs, cleaning up the inner cities and immigration.

No.

The gender issue is settled. Russia is a bi-partisan concern.

It is yet to be determined what might emerge as any new major issue for either party in 2020.
