None.


Today's hard left would have this country bankrupt in a decade with its socialist policies and their weak foreign diplomacy would allow a ground invasion of troops from China, Syria and mexico within a week of their inauguration.

That being said...


Certainly not Biden
Certainly not Sanders
Certainly not O'Rpurke
Certainly not Gillibrand
Certainly not Holder
Certainly not Warren
But MAYBE Kerry or somebody more centric.

Both parties were led by insanely and stupidly reckless hawks until Trump, who is less hawkish but still a long way from dove. I would like to vote for anyone but Trump, but the Dems are still stuck on beliefs and allegiances that made this mess.

My Money is on a Beto-Harris ticket. We need to stop recycling candidates Biden and Bernie too old and forget that idiot warren she did herself in.
Ironically, I think a Biden-Brown ticket would be the best shot for the Democrats against Trump in 2020. Chances of beating an incumbent president are already slim, and Biden is the only guy who can give Trump a taste of his own medicine (remember Mr. tough guy Chris Christie was a wimp in the primary debates against Trump) while anyone else would act too nice and more mature than Trump which would be a mistake (Hillary was also way too nice to him). If you go down, you go down swinging against him. Plus, it saves the younger Dem hopefuls (Beto, Harris, etc.) for 2024 against a weaker Republican field post-Trump. Who they gonna nominate then, Pence? Rubio? Good luck with that.

Hahahahaha


So as I watch this forum each day, I see 1000s of posts created by the anti-Trumpers each week. But ask them who they think would be a good Democrat to replace Trump and we get essentially Nothing.



It's quite telling.

Well, to be fair, I'm sure conservatives didn't have an answer in December 2014 as to who would be a good Republican to defeat Hillary, either.

No you say?

Case closed on that. If he can't beat a snake handling Canadian, he'd have no chance on the national stage.

But I do give you credit for at least responding with something other than Hillary, Biden, Pocahontas, Sanders, and Harris.

Well they were facing the specter of JEB being nominated. It was clear that the GOP establishment and what's now known as the Never Trumpers, were arranging all the deck chairs for him to be nominated, just like the DNC did for Hillary.

Neither side was prepared for what Trump was going to do to them.

And amazingly, there are still plenty who wish to go back to that sort of no choice system.

Neither side was prepared for the start of Cold War II, I'll give you that.

But now that it has started, I'll side with the Americans. How about you?
