If not, then do you think you have a reasonable guess if who will be the Democratic Party's nominee in 02020? I don't. (Of course, they could be stupid like the GOP -- lining up McCain back in 02008 and Dole back in 01996: weak candidates who seemed to earn being on the ticket by simple seniority rather than broad appeal.;) I think, though, it's likely not to be another Clinton or another Obama.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I believe this campaign kind of was a rejection of the House of Clinton. Meaning? Democrats won't give them another chance. It's likely also a rejection of the House of Bush. Recall how Jeb was predicted an early favorite in 02015, then his campaign evaporated faster then a mini-black hole. Why think future elections will merely be rehashing the same small cast of characters? (This isn't to say much changes: shitty policy mixes, but with new, more often unrelated* faces.) <br><br></span><div style="line-height: normal;"><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Regards,</span></div><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Dan</span></div><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Sample my Kindle books via:</span></div><div style="line-height: normal;"><font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><a href="http://author.to/DanUst" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">http://author.to/DanUst</a></font></div></div><div style="line-height: normal;"><br></div><div style="line-height: normal;">* I don't mean complete outsiders, but who were the Clintons in 01990?
