Also while I get the fun of these what ifs. I beat my bottom dollar after Kerry lost in 04 people here probably said they needed some folksy blue dog to win again and look how that went for all we know Trump can do something that shifts the conversation from what it was this year like invade a country, or a recession, or whatever an someone like Cuomo, Booker, or Castro just catches fire with the right message

Well sure, if the economy does what it did in 2008, then even a Tom Steyer/Ivy League humanities professor ticket would beat Trump by 5-10.  But the fact that change nothing and wait for the economy to crash worked within 4 years last time doesn't mean it will work this time.  Failing to build a big tent also meant that Obama's power was especially fleeting once he got in.

That's not what I was really getting at my point is basing how should the dems act in 2020 off of this year is foolish. Look at Trump after 2012 everyone here would of said either someone like Rubio or bust for the GOP due to changing demographics now it's someone JBE or bust for the dems because WWC from rural America rule all. An I'm not saying ignore them but you don't need to directly pander to them either

For the record, of the potential candidates who have expressed interest, I think he should be the most afraid of a Booker and Cortez Masto ticket, in either order.  In the entire universe of Dems who could run, I think he should fear an Oprah Winfrey/newly elected FL/AZ/GA-GOV ticket the most.
