1 Term GOP President from 2017-21?

[Bojack Horseman]

First of all, I have to correct the inaccurate assumption that the Republicans want to cut taxes for the rich - we want to reduce taxes and reform the tax code for everyone. The Democrats oppose reform that would broaden the tax base, they'd rather borrow money.

If the GOP loses in 2016, I think it would confirm what some in the media are saying - Republicans win midterms, Democrats win presidential races. The last Republican to win nationally by more than three percentage points was George Bush in 1988. Yet, since Republicans won in 1994, Democrats have only won a majority in one mid-term election.

Now, if Obama's recent comments about him being Reagan (the ego on this guy) and Clinton being Bush Sr, then Clinton is in trouble in 2020.

The GOP is in the opposite position it was in the 70s and 80s great in congress, bad at White House.

I completely agree with you. I think only Bush or Rubio could reverse that trend.

There's really no easy way to put this, just fun to think about the different scenarios. Of course Hillary could be very popular or Kasich, Rubio decide to govern in a more inclusive way than the GOP base wants. Restoring the Bush tax cuts would be a Democratic talking point, especially if  Jeb tried that. If we had a recession under Jeb, the GOP would be absolutely destroyed.

The reality is, the Republicans winning the white house would lead to another economic collapse, especially if that Republican is Mr. Trump. If you get a President who reduces taxes, reverses Obama's policies, and supports free markets, you will see economic destruction like we saw throughout the 2000's that resulted in the Republicans being fired in both 2006 and 2008.

Fixed that for you.
