2020. At which point political scientists will be able to speak of the "Democratic era," as they will have won the popular vote in all but one election since 1988.
I doubt it. It'll probably be referred to as the Bush-Clinton era, assuming Hillary is elected in 2008. Hell, it's quite possible I could be 28 by the time I live under a President whose last name isn't Bush or Clinton.
Hmmm.. Jeb Bush 2016? Or will he be too old by then?
Or possibly George P. Bush, Jeb's half-hispanic son.
That would be a scary thought. Even if Hillary wins two terms I think it would, overall, be bad for American democracy since it would mean 22 years of control by two dominant political families. I really don't want to see America become like the late Roman Republic or India anytime soon.
Hey we could have it like this:
George HW Bush: 1989-1993
Bill Clinton: 1993-2001
George W. Bush: 2001-2009
Hillary Clinton: 2009-2017
Jeb Bush: 2017-2025
Chelsea Clinton: 2025-2033
Geore P. Bush: 2033-2041
Now I know how you'd all love that!
