please for the love of god no.
we don't need 8 years of trump.
why can't tulsi just run. please let tulsi run. idk if she'll win, but at least it's not clinton.
Trump won't make it to 2020 - he'll either be out with a GOP Impeachment, the 25th Amendment, or in 2019 when the Dems take both the House and the Senate.
That being said, I do hope she doesn't run again. Regardless or her endless qualifications, she's too decisive. We need new, younger blood.
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov
Oh, god, please, no... if she can't beat Drumpf the Terrible she can't beat anyone, ever. I may as well run for POTUS; I have zero experience in politics but apparently that's a plus not a negative, and I'm certain I could beat Hillary 1v1.
What democrat will want to deal with the mess that the cheetos leaves behind. Bill cleans up the mess of papa bush and leaves it with a surplus. Baby bush comes in kills all that and leaves a mess for the next guy. Obama comes in tries to clean up the mess but gets blame for every damn thing Bush started, still he leaves it in better shape then he got it. Trump is likely to do more damage then the combined republicans of the past 50 years. Who ever takes over next is going to have such a shit pile to clean up and will likely be blamed for all of it.
IMO Democrats should avoid the presidential elections for a while. Only put in weak candidates guaranteed to lose. Focus on getting seats in the House and senate, support the few of them that the republican POTUS allow to obtain seats on the Supreme Court. From there they can effectively serve as the check and balance the president is lacking right now. Let the republicans deal with the mess Trump will leave behind. Hopefully a more sensible one takes office next but if it is he will also be blamed for it and they will get a taste of how it's been for the democrats.

I'm a British gay Muslim Pakistani American citizen, ask me how that works! (terribly)
After loosing against the most unfit, horrible and laughable candidate ever (according to dems), who the hell would give her another chance?! Doesn't that mean that she is even more unfit, more horrible and more laughable than Trump?
Article based on facts: Fake news!

At least you guys are entertaining.
Dragonflight Summary, "Because friendship is magic"
If left leaning people in this country want a voice in their government again, they need to turn and walk away from that dumpster fire of a party called the DNC.
Who in their right mind, after failing twice, would consider running again? Someone who honestly believes that they were in no way, shape, or the reason for the loss. Someone delusional enough to believe it was all everyone else's fault. Someone with an extremely over inflated sense of self importance.
It's pretty shocking that anyone would be enthusiastic about someone who was so evidently physically frail already. I really doubt the next 4 years is going to be kind to her. People act like it's some crazy conspiracy theory to mention, but it's pretty mainstream news; here's ABC a couple years ago:
Her falling down on 9/11 this year was somewhat well publicized as well.Bill Clinton did more today than defend his wife, Hillary Clinton, from recent accusations leveled by GOP strategist Karl Rove that she suffered brain damage after falling in December 2012.
The former president revealed that his wife's injury "required six months of very serious work to get over," he said during a question-and-answer session at the Peterson Foundation in Washington.
Politics aside, why shouldn't we be getting leaders that aren't decrepitly falling over and hurting themselves on what seems like a regular basis?
Would it be so hard to let Bernie run? Would it?
