Does a Republican president win in 2024?

[5280]

Hillary wins in 2016 against Trump and barely gets reelected in 2020. Do the Republicans finally learn their lesson and win an election in 2024 after not being in the White House for 16 years?  

The Republican party really needs to get a giant overhaul and a makeover.

[Suburbia]

I'm leaning a slight no. The Republican Party is still going to be a conservative party, (in the eyes of voters), while the Free Republic crowd views the party as a left-wing GOP, or too moderate for the Republicans.

They'd sweep all 50 states.

Voted yes because people place the most blame on whatever party holds the White House, and another 8 years under a Democratic president, sh**tty things are going to happen. A recession, scandals, you name it. Unless the Democratic POTUS was exceptionally well-liked (seems unlikely this time around) and presided over a calm 8 years, then 2024 would be the time for a rebound.

However, the GOP can't just stay the way it is and expect to win, either. They will have to adapt to a new American electorate, just like Democrats had to.

In this scenario, I'd venture to say yes. We have a pretty deep bench of folks that could be ready for the top job by then (that many people haven't taken too good of a look at), and I imagine that it would be hard for the Dems to win a fifth term unless President Hillary has sky-high approvals.

Yes, such a long Democratic reign would eventually produce some kind of backlash.

Are you a Republican? And damn it, I have to ask, why on earth is the guy in your signature unloading streams of sweat down his face. This has been bothering me for almost 2 days now!

After a three term reign of Tony Blair, it created a backlash, but he supported Dubya's Iraq policy. It really depends on Joe Kennedy, Castro or Martin Heinrich, they are the future stars of Dems.

I'm a conservative, and I fairly consistently support Republicans, but I'm not a Republican. When I said "we," I suppose I was referring to us conservatives.

It's a scene from Airplane!. Watch it.

[Frodo]

Almost a lock by then -after sixteen years under a Democratic administration, it would be about time for a change.  Hopefully by then, the GOP will have (grudgingly) accepted that Obamacare is here to stay.

It is hard to read his posts seeing that.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

If Joe P Kennedy is ready by then, and gets Warren's seat in 2018, then I would defer to him.  That would be my choice of president.

GOP are a congressional and a state party since 2010 and it has made Dems job much easier that Trump will be nominee.

[Asian Nazi]

Incumbency fatigue is BS

[Hillary pays minimum wage]

It depends on 2016 really.

[Kingpoleon]

Probably not. The odds of a Republican becoming President through line of succession is slim to none.

If they lose 2016 and 2020? Yes, probably. I could see a Rubio/Gardner or Gardner/Ernst ticket in 2024.

I got rid of it. Are you people f[inks]ing happy now???

JK, thanks for the feedback! It's helping make me a better poster.

LOL you're a good guy.

Far too early to predict.

Yes or No.

[hopper]

No 2028.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I hope not, and I hope Castro, Heinrich or Joe P Kennedy gets it.
